Day 23 -Ireland 🇮🇪- NFD
Off to work soon. We are hoping to get all orders done and dusted to avoid coming in tomorrow Christmas Eve, so it could be a long day. But then I hope to have 3 days off. Yay, after working 6 day weeks all through December I am looking forward to the break.
@miraclelou I spent my first Christmas away from home in the 90’s in Bavaria. It was magical…snow, sleigh bells, gluhwein…….and Christmas Eve was wonderful. Enjoy tomorrow ☺️
Happy Saturday all
Day 22 Newcastle UK NFD
Day 23 Newcastle UK NFD
Busy day yesterday never got around to posting. Last day at work today and 10 days off whoo-hoo 😁🍻🥂Unfortunately this is where the 5/2 goes out the window until the 3rd of January lol. I’d like to wish the group Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thanks for all your help and support since I joined the group in March of this year. I know without the support of this group I wouldn’t have had the success that I’ve had. I still got a few pounds to shift but hopefully that can all go in January and February looking forward to catching up with everybody then.
Day 23 USA (Illinois) FD
I’m with you on a FD today, @bert1802 – I need to prepare this bod for several feasting days ahead.
Onward and downward.
Day 23 – USA – NFD
Second post – @bert1802, what I wouldn’t do for a homemade cannoli!!! Got a recipe? No one in my neck of the woods has even tasted one, boo hoo. I miss those runs to the bakery to get them filled!
Day 23, London, UK, FD,
Out and about very early this morning to avoid the hoards in the supermarket……………. Funnily enough; I wasn’t the only bright spark with this idea!!!! Manic!!!
@bert1802 & @mjrbcd44 – I’m sure you guys are losing all feeling in your hands, ‘cause I’m squeezing soooo hard!!!! Control, control, control!!!! I keep telling myself I just need to make it through one day of decadence then back on the 5:2 wagon…… BUT………… before I get there I have to navigate ………..…. The chocolates & biscuits & booze & mince pies & of course the fabulous seasonal cheeseboards knocking about, that are just WHISPERING my name!!!!!!!!!! Work lunch yesterday was numerous sharing platters and of course you HAVE to try a little of EVERYTHING……………….. it’s the law!!! Thought I was going to pop and then had a Baileys (well, two) ………………Doh!!!!
@miraclelou, like @at, I never have breakfast in the morning, but I might have breakfast (porridge, avocado on sourdough, omelette or a smoothie) at 3 or 4pm and call it breaking my fast, so breakfast really, just a very late one!! The minimum I do (mostly) is 18:6 on NFDs, but it sometimes goes to 20:4, socially, I try for dinner or lunch dates, only one breakfast date in the last year!!
Happy fasting everyone, I’m squeezing as many as possible in, before the sheer madness of Xmas Day!!! Today I’m not hungry, which isn’t a shock ‘cause the Baileys I had yesterday had more calories than I consume on a FD!!!
Stay strong everyone, stay glued to the wagon just a little while longer then enjoy a guilt free Xmas!!!
Day 23 CD (please) Oregon USA
Yesterday’s CD ended up @TDEE.
Because of gummy bears, chips and a Christmas cookie. I seem to be lacking control on NFD’s in a big way this week. Since the FD’s are becoming much easier for me clearly it is a matter of will and decision–just need to decide to pass.
@bert1802 along with holding my hand could you push it back when you see it reaching for treats? 😂
Even though it’s only been net 7 pounds lost so far as the saying goes (@AT’s or @songbirdme‘s? Or who’s…now I can’t remember) but “I haven’t come this far to only come this far”.
@stevetoon have a fabulous break and enjoy your time off! We’ll be here in January!
@anna6 have a great Saturday as well.
@bigviking you are being vigilant stepping on the scale and reporting. You’ll wipe it all away soon.
One of the best things this forum is doing for me is to not allow me to crumble and give up when I stumble. Reading @flourbaby‘s words about “self-sabotage” it makes me realize that is exactly what I have done these last few years. And this time, I am just not going to let it happen. I know I can lose weight with this WOL.
So instead of my holiday tagline today I am using a quote I learned many years ago from a motivational speaker. Funny I always apply it to my work world but seldom to my health. This week it seems appropriate.
“I have a positive expectancy or reaching my goals and I will take this as a temporary setback.”
Good choices all. ❤️💪👍
Day 22 NFD
Days 23-31 CDs
Not sure how often I will make it back here between now and NYE, so I’m posting a summary now.
Since I joined this challenge on. Dec 1, you all have:
Inspired and motivated me
Encouraged me to be committed to maintaining my health through fasting
Encouraged me to control my eating more often than not and to add more exercise to my days
Thank you!
Whatever you celebrate at this time of year, my best wishes for happiness and health beam out to you. You are an amazing group of people. I’ll be back on January 1 to assess my progress and keep moving forward.
Good luck to everyone. Take care, Markie
Day 23 – New Jersey – nfd
Two successful FDs and I am at a new low this week which feels great. Although it was a little uncomfortable to have all my whooshes occur on the bus ride home. I hate being that person that is always getting up! 😩 but I managed. Now to navigate the next three days… all the eating starts today. I will do my best to hold onto this number!
I’m right with you all on the control – let’s try to make good choices!
@leggit Congrats on the new low!
Day 23 Belfast NFD
Yet another tragedy in Melbourne. My heart goes out to the victims.
I’m just dipping in from family celebrations, have skimmed the posts and will go back and read properly when I have time.
So YS arrived with his girlfriend and little pug puppy Izzy. After a shy start, the two dogs circled the kitchen and garden like something deranged, the pug being the fastest of the two. (Rosa has long legs which quite uncoordinated at the moment. Well, she forgot to take into account the pond (a small ornamental feature about 9 feet across.) She flew through the air and ‘water ski-ed’ across and landed in shock at the other side. Needless to say, we were in stitches. Izzie wasn’t amused! Never a dull moment.
Yesterday was a day of SS (I like that term @emma Taylor), EFS or a temporary setback (thank you mjrbcd44) call it what you will. Having a controlled day today.
I’m curious @miraclelou how you manage your life without your OH knowing? I’m very lucky that my DH is very supportive. It was actually him that got me onto 16:8.
@songbirdme – I’m going to experiment posting a ‘Rosa’ photo. The link is below. It will be interesting to see if it works.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzjOquHuv3m1ZEtXQ05PVVplR1hSWDI4c3VzQ1FCVDBmNzdR
@SteveToon and Markie99 see you in January and Happy Christmas.
A big well done to all those who have lost weight – no mean achievement amidst the Christmas celebrations. For those who are struggling with an illness, wishing you a speedy recovery.
Am feeling a little fragile today. Went to bed around 3.30am do it will be an early night tonight!
Remember: I CAN and I WILL!
Day 22, 23 NFD Santa Fe NM.
Yesterday was a travel day with 10 hours spent in the car. Breakfast was 2 eggs, sourdough toast and bacon. Dinner was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten, venison with wild rice and greens. A couple of glasses of Rhone wine and a dark chocolate cake. Just amazing.
We say two really terrible accidents on the way. One car was cut in half by a semi. Just gruesome! I’m so grateful to have traveled safely.
Today I’ll fast till dinner and then eat what I desire. Today will be spent in art galleries and museums. Lots of walking
The fact that my back pain dissipated after water fasting for 2 days got me thinking. I always assumed that the pain was wear and tear damage but perhaps it is inflammation? Coincidentally I watched a pod cast on Dr. Mercola’s site on the “plant paradox” of lectins damaging the gut. I read the book and it makes a lot of sense to me.
January will be a food exclusion month for me. Eliminating foods that could be compromising my gut barrier and adding those that will feed my good gut microbes along with fasting. It will be challenging because I have a cruise scheduled! LOL
Day 23 2nd post
@debster251 oh that link works perfectly!! Those puppies!😍😍
Thank you for sharing and I will try to do the same with that Portland pic later.
Day 23 McMinnville Oregon USA – FD
Yippee, I had a great FD yesterday. It was kind of a LF but I did puree some vegetables and veggie broth to a soup consistency. It was very satisfying. Today I’m going to do a detox day based on recipes I found on the The Awesome Green website. Should be interesting.
@bert1802 – OMG creme brûlée cheesecake and cannolis, yum
@debster251 – Fortunately your photo link of Rosa and Izzy opened for me and what cutie pies you have. So much fun!! Thank you for sharing!!
Day 23 -UK NFD
I weighed in after 5 days this week… Half a pound gain but overall since I began (5 weeks ago) lost 9.5lbs so thrilled with that.
Our house fills tomorrow (I love it!) so signing out for a few days.
Thank you to all the group for wonderful inspiration… Wishing you a very happy Christmas. I look forward to more success in 2018!
Day 23 – SW WA USA – FD
Traveling up to Canada with my son & thinking to make it a FD as we travel. Gives the body a break between feast days.
Oh my those puppies are cute! Thanks for sharing @debster251.
@miraclelou I also usually practice 16:8 as a rule. I love breakfast foods, and just make a point of having them later in the day. I made a low-carb breakfast casserole for my son & I that we ate at noon yesterday. It was yummy!
Together we are stronger as we go through the holidays.
Day 23 – USA – NFD
Third post: @debster251, great pic of Rosa and Izzy! Wonderful that we can send pics on this forum…maybe it will catch on and we will actually “see” who are are “speaking” with! Thanks so much. Brightened my day!
@debster251 – those puppies!!! Adorable. Best wishes everyone and happy end to the December challenge ( nearly).
@debster251 -how adorable! Your efforts to post on googledocs was SO appreciated! Those pups are just precious!
Mjrbcd44 thanks for your wishes. I hope 🤞 you had and are having a great Saturday too. My nfd turned into a fairly controlled day although I had a mince pie 🥧, a piece of 🍰, half a piece of Christmas 🎄 log and a biscuit today, I only ate rice cakes this evening.
Tomorrow I’ll prepare the vegetables for Christmas lunch etc. my sister in law is making me a tiramisu as usual for Christmas dessert. Then we eat lunch 🍴 at a restaurant with my mother in law. In the evening after confession and mass we are all going to my second daughter s flat and eat Chinese takeaway there.
Good evening 🌆/night everyone.
Day 23 – Cumbria UK – NFD
Weather a bit brighter and mostly dry today, we even got some blue skies and sunshine if briefly ☺️
Today ended up being a very controlled day – out for a late brunch (1 slice sourdough bread, poached eggs and avocado) with OH before finishing up the shopping.
Dinner tonight was DD request – one of her favourite – my homemade Butternut Squash Risotto with Sage – yummy! Total calories today was well below TDEE – very happy with that!
@miraclelou – I am not a early morning person and in all honesty I don’t wake up feeling hungry unlike my OH who is an early bird and is tucking into a huge bowl of porridge before 7am most mornings…..So YES I never eat breakfast – Like @flourbaby I do break my fast late morning or even as late as early afternoon with my breakfast at that time. When I meet socially it would more often than not be for brunch late morning or even lunch but not for breakfast!!! I walk twice a week with a group in the mornings and will have a pot of tea or a coffee afterwards whilst we have a social catch up, some will have a toasted teacake or a scone with their drink but most don’t as they then go home for lunch so I don’t stand out…..As I said I only have 2 meals on my NFD and 1 on my FD – this works well for me. BTW how do you manage this WOL without sharing with your OH – mine does not follow this WOE, he is a runner and is constantly eating – he eats healthily but still eats all day long I swear…………However he understands and support my WOL!
@steve-toon-taxi-driver – enjoy your 10 days off – looking forward on hearing how well you resisted temptations when we meet up in the January challenge 😉
@bert1802 – that little 😈 was obviously on your shoulder on your last day of work! hopefully today you had this one 😇 on your shoulder x
@leggit – congratulations on your new low! Think of us on this group when temptations start to get out of control over the next few days!
@debster251 – Thank you for sharing your furry friends with us – very cute!
@diverdog – glad your travels was OK but so sad to hear of accidents at any time but especially at this time of the year – Would have loved all the food you had yesterday – my sort of eating 😋
Out tomorrow night with friends for an Christmas Eve Indian feast but I will stick to cups of tea and water only during the day, saving all my calories for the night hoping to minimise the damage but 🥂🍷will definitely be involved and on Christmas and Boxing Day I will enjoy every morsel and drink that passes my lips with no thought of fasting 😋 but still no breakfast until at least late morning if not later 😉 @miraclelou
Merry Christmas to everyone who is celebrating!
Whether you celebrate the day or not, it’s funny how this time of year highlights a feeling or state of mind; one of reflection, gratitude and goodwill.
“Until one feels the spirit of Christmas, there is no Christmas. All else is outward display-so much tinsel and decorations. For it isn’t the holly, it isn’t the snow. It isn’t the tree not the firelight’s glow. It’s the warmth that comes to the hearts of men when the Christmas spirit returns again.”

The very best Christmas Eve and Christmas to all who celebrate.
Days 23 and 24 UK NFDs
More people around so more temptations. I had 4 truffles and a piece of vegan cake but I didn’t try the biscuits or the other chocolates and I didn’t seriously damage the cake and stopped before I had consumed enough flour to make me feel really ill so I am not upset with myself. I made a chili and padded it out with a big salad and am rewarded with a new low this morning although only a small drop its timing makes it all the more satisfying. I have decided that I really do want to adjust my goal downwards again to ten stone. Only 2.2 lbs to go so it is within easy reach and is sitting there taunting me and I can see exactly where the weight can go from. Somehow fat bits only become more obvious as you lose weight! I didn’t come so far only to come this far. I may as well finish the job. BMI of 21 here I come!
Day 24 North Wales NFD
Haven’t had a fast day since Monday 😩. My body is telling me I need one 😂. It is very easy to over eat. Keep telling myself I am not going to put all the weight back on in a week and that when I get home I will slip naturally back into this WOL 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year. Thank you so much for your support this year. Will be back for the January Challenge.

Day 23, Newcastle UK, NFD
Successfully navigated the various social events this week and the Tesco shop yesterday afternoon. Not for me any of the calorie laden Christmas fayre. And now, thanks to reading ‘Alcohol Explained’ (which I’ve already recommended to several friends) my wine rack mostly consists of alcohol free Rawsons Retreat Cabernet Sauvignon with the special offers on Bombay Sapphire not even coming close to tempting. Also discovered a wonderful AF beer whilst out for lunch on Friday – St. Peter’s Without. Hence Tesco vs my usual Aldi as they are the only supermarket to stock it.
Wonderful photos @debster251 and @mjrbcd44 – thank you.
Christmas greetings to you all and see you next week.
Day 24,Germany NFD
Yeaaahhh! I weighed in this morning and in fact reached my December goal plus actually also my goal weight!!! What a Christmas present to myself!
Of course weight could go up again a bit due to the upcoming festivities – BUT I am very determined to be mindful on what and how much I am eating! Thanks @flourbaby and @at for your insights about skipping breakfast. I think this is really a very good thing and I will probably try it, too. For most of the days 😉
@debster @at I can understand you’re wondering how I can live this WOL without my OH to know… Honestly I am surprised myself! 😂😂
But then, it’s only two days a week. My OH comes home at dinner time and he is used to me having muesli or other things for dinner sometimes (he just never really checks my plate) on the weekends I eat normally and we also never had breakfast together on a regular basis since I am up much earlier.
The reason I didn’t tell him is that I’m afraid he would talk bad about it and make it mad for myself.
@daffodil2010 thanks for sharing your Christmas experiences in Germany! We don’t have snow this year but it’s still very nice!
I wish everybody a wonderful, wonderful Christmas time and wanna thank you all for being part of this WOL and this forum!
Day 24, London, UK, FD
@leggit, you’re whooshing like a pro!!! Congrats on the ATL (all time low) you have the best incentive to be mindful over the next few days…… stay strong!!!
@debster251, I’m not sure which one I’m in love with more, Rosa or Izzy!!! Too cute!!
The thing I love about this forum, is the anonymity, so don’t expect ANY pics of me in the future!!!!!!
@mjrbcd44 – thanks for the Portland pic, absolutely beautiful!!
@bigviking, you know you have the tools to rectify this blip, just get through the festivities and hop back on the wagon. Even if you see the dreaded 80’s you know it’s not an irreversible trend ……..…….. stay strong!!!!!
I’ve been acquiring a few extra pounds recently, even with being mindful, but maybe not as strict as before …….……….. damn you sweet tooth!!! Anyway, I have every intention of enjoying this festive season, throwing a couple of FDs in here and there and trying, trying, trying to make NFDs controlled……………… having lived a life of NFDs they’re still proving really hard to regulate!!!
Keep the faith people, remember that ‘about to pop’ feeling from your last EFS and be a bit more mindful tomorrow (just a bit!!) and you’ll enjoy the day far more!!!!
Day 24 USA (Illinois) NFD
Excellent FD yesterday with 300 calories. Drank lots and lots of water. Will break my fast shortly before I play piano at church this morning. Packing today for my flight to Utah tomorrow morning early. It will be a terrific time with 2 of our daughters, boyfriends, and 2 granddaughters. The menu has been fun to plan, but I’m having to bring my fondue pot and forks to keep up a family tradition. Both beef and cheese are planned, plus sauce Bernaise is required. Oh, and lots of wine for our time together.
@mjrbcd44 – wow! What an amazing photo of Portland! Oh so beautiful – I can see why you were so enthralled. Thanks so much for taking the time to post it for all of us.
Onward and downward ~
Day 24 – Ireland 🇮🇪 – NFD
I have a few quiet moments to myself so checked out the forum. Hope all you guys are holding on, but looking forward to a wonderful day tomorrow. There us always the reset button for us all on whatever day we choose to reset.
Me, I plan an EFS tomorrow and reset on Wednesday 27th. I have prepared as much as I can food wise for tomorrow, my DH will prepare the turkey later when he gets back from picking up the youngest daughter from the airport. I am about to hop over to my brothers to hand out Christmas gifts, Dad is staying with him this year. Then later this evening our local village church has been chosen by our national TV station to host the Christmas Eve mass, camera crews everywhere! So we may drop along to that, and a quick festive pint afterwards.
Merry Christmas to you all, peace and joy to all ☺️
Day 24 NFD Oregon USA
Heading into probably my favorite day of the year–Christmas Eve. Yes I like it even more than Christmas.
My sons are all home (and not sure how many more times that will happen). Our day consists of breakfast together, then out to see Santa (our photos with him now count in the 20’s) and then to a movie–this year it is Star Wars–then home for easy dinner (usually take and bake pizza) followed by opening matching pajamas, books and watching Christmas vacation before they go to bed–all together in the same room still. ❤️❤️❤️
It is a day to focus on the joy of the holiday which is having this moment in time with your families. Precious gifts.
To all of my new friends here–and I truly mean all of you across the world–thank you for being part of this forum. For helping me in more ways than I can count and for joining me in January when I push a really hard firm reset button. 😊
Congrats to all the people who have been finding lows, strength to those who need it, calming thoughts for all of us as we navigate the week ahead.
🎄May your holidays be blessed and your pounds be less. ⛄
Day 24. Belfast NFD
It’s hard to believe we’ve got this far into December. I’ve well and truly stepped off the wagon and I intend to have a great day tomorrow. One of the joys of this WOL is that, as @bert says, you step off the wagon, you just climb back on and start all over again. So my Fellow Fasters, have a guilt free Christmas Day. Enjoy every moment.
Mjrbcd44 what a beautiful photo. Thank you for sharing.
@flourbaby it’s one thing posting a photo of your dog and another of yourself! I totally agree; the safety of anonymity is what makes this place so special.
So my wonderful cyber friends, I wish you a happy and peaceful Christmas and may 2018 bring you all you wish for.

Day 24 – Cumbria UK – NFD
Looks like we will have a very wet cumbria for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…….
After yesterdays’s very CD I saw a further drop in weight this morning taking me to the lower end of my wriggle room, so will be enjoying tonight and the next 2 days with no guilt!
Out for an Indian Feast with friends tonight so only water and cups of tea consumed today to save all my calories for tonight – it will be needed and more I’m sure!!!!!!!! But I shall enjoy and not feel guilty 🥂and looking forward to the next 2 days with family ❤️
@mjrbcd44 – what a beautiful shot – thank you for sharing x
@miraclelou – great job on reaching your December goal and also your goal weight!!!
To all on the forum enjoy the next couple of days, make merry and savour all the delicious food and drink with no guilt – As we have learnt this WOL is very forgiving of a few days of indulgence.
But most of all enjoy the time with family and friends – remember the best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of happy family and friends all wrapped up in each other – “Health, love and happiness I wish to you, Merry Christmas and good tidings too. Happy New Year!”
Day 24 McMinnville Oregon USA – NFD
Yesterdays FD didn’t work out for me. I’m not sure I can do B2B, still trying to figure out what works for me with this WOE. Christmas dinner will be with lifelong friends as my sisters are scattered to the winds this year. The menu is seafood 🍤 so should be delish, plus fabulous wine 🥂 I plan on enjoying it all. 😀
Merry Christmas to you all. I wish you all peace and love in your life. ❤️
@at – Butternut Squash Risotto with Sage has my mouth watering. Thank you for the lovely quote.
@steve-toon-taxi-driver – Have a wonderful Christmas break, see you in January
@diverdog – It’s always wrenching to come upon an accident. Be safe.
@mjrbcd44 – What a wonderful picture of Portland, thank you for sharing. Were you at the Chart House?
@miraclelou – Good going, what a wonderful Christmas gift to yourself.
Day 23,24 NFD New Mexico USA
Day 23 enjoyed some pistachios as a snack. Another fabulous dinner, mushroom and truffle ravioli with leek sauce, calf’s liver and truffle fries with a very nice Bordeaux. Apple tart for dessert. Although the portions were not large I felt stuffed
Spent 4 hours walking canyon road art galleries in cold and crisp weather
Pretty much the same for today except a choral concert and midnight mass.
I’m really excited about the knowledge I’ve gained from reading the Plant Paradox. It really tied together a bunch of information I already knew about gut health and inflammation
Time for more self experimentation!
Day 24 UK NFD
Day 23 NFD
Checking in briefly in between family things, to keep/restore my sense of accountability.
Yesterday was my first teatime thing. The healthy things I was making weren’t ready and my daughter had brought along food gifts to share – german iced biscuits, italian pannetone, traditional malt loaf. This morning i weighed 3lbs more!
Today i forgot to eat, then kept myself going on mince pies! WIll make some healthier supper before last minute wrapping. Tomorrow will definitely be a feast day – it’s the only day we’re all together, and definitely a day to enjoy food and family and the chance to be and celebrate together. The treats are healthier, homemade g-f versions of traditional fare – but still full of calories. Back on the waggon with a FD on Weds.
@bert1802 Thank you for your wise words, that’s a helpful reminder of what we’re doing here
@debster251 lovely pictures, thank you for sharing
The most important thing I’ve learned from doing this WOL is not to be afraid of myself, not to fear food, not to feel like a failure because I’ve made silly choices, and not to be afraid of holidays and eating more than usual. More than anything, it makes you feel free. If you put a bit of weight on, so what? We all know that we can lose weight and keep it off. Fasting actually works. And the support of this lovely group helps enormously. It just confirms what I’ve always thought. The world is generally made up of decent, good, nice people, with the odd horrid one thrown in occasionally ! Have a lovely day tomorrow all.
Day 25. NZ A very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you all. I have so far had a wonderful day.We travelled to see daughter, son in law and grandchildren for brunch and family time and have now returned home. About an hours drive. Surprisingly there was quite a bit of traffic. Having a quiet Christmas dinner with bubbles, just to two of us tonight. Church last night is always a lovely way to celebrate the beginning of the day. Now as far as fasting goes, it hasn’t gone well at all. I don’t think I’ve achieved any weight loss this month.It’s been so hectic, frantic at work and also several carol singing events in the evenings but all totally worthwhile. I too @mjrbcd44 will be re-setting my button, beginning tomorrow I’m thinking. Love and Peace one and all.
Days 23 & 24 California NFD
Having very nice, and very much NFDs, eating everything that I usually don’t even tempt myself with on NFD! One more day of feasting and nibbling, which will come to a screeching halt with a FD on Tuesday. 😁
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday and some good solid FDs this coming week! 🌲🍷🍸🍺
Day 24 – SW WA USA (visiting in BC Canada ) NFD
Experienced our family Christmas miracle – all of my remaining siblings plus Mom & Dad together. There had been an estrangement due to some mental health issues & more. Steps toward health & forgiveness are taking place. It meant so much especially to my father. Another highlight was singing carols together including Silent Night / Stille Nacht in English as well as a couple of verses in German.
And wonderful food was enjoyed as well!
May you all have a blessed Christmas!
