Good Morning!
Went for a walk in the snow this morning and skipped workout. I’ll go tomorrow, my sister wants to start 5:2 so I sent her to this website and she ordered the book. I have also ordered the book for my daughters…NOT a birthday or Valentines Day gift…LOL

FD today – Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Will hop on scale tomorrow morning.

Embrace the day, we are ALIVE and MOVING!

Day 4,5 – NFD
Day 6 – FD
Day 7 – NFD
10k steps – 11 day streak

Had a pretty good weekend, nothing exciting going on though, just walks, a run, cleaning the house etc. Did some geocaching again for the first time in ages – it’s a good way to discover new places, and good for getting my steps up!

@xamos – Welcome back to the land of healthy people 🙂 My pizza was super yummy, although it didn’t turn out quite as I expected… I decided to make the base as well, which I haven’t done in a long time (and last time I did it I used a bread maker). Because I wanted to make it healthier I changed the recipe around a bit, and used some linseeds and wholemeal flour instead of all white flour. Unfortunately the dough didn’t rise – I’m guessing this is why. But the flat bases were still yummy, which is the main thing!

@tiffoz – when I first started 5:2, I took my FDs as permission to eat whatever I wanted on NFDs. As a result I lost no weight at all (I was eating a lot of junk food on NFDs, so would have easily been making up my calorie deficit from the FDs). Now I still allow myself some treats on NFDs, but not entire packets of biscuits etc. I’m slowly losing weight – I know it would be faster if I cut out treats altogether, but I’m happy with slow, as long as the trend is down 🙂

Day 6 NFD weight same as yesterday 173.9
Did a little yoga today, 30 mins.
Resisted the pie of the day I made for the family.
Sorry super busy tonight.. chat more tomorrow.

@hippyhales. I joined the Facebook page through our family account so it shows as David Bray! I have just tried to add my Facebook account instead😄 As you can see – technology’s not my thing! Sorry!!

Hello my friends,

So yesterdays FD went really well. Managed 568 calories so happy with that and wont have a full meal until tonight, just 2 shakes and lots of water until then. I’m aiming for 1000kcal a day now on my NFD until 3rd march (my hen party) so hopefully will help give me a boost. We shall see when I weigh on Sunday. Didn’t weigh this weekend as I was fully off plan!

@grins I use MFP and on my FD I just add enough at the end of the day to up it too 1000 so it will actually log it for me, but I know in my head I haven’t eaten those calories, do what works for you

@wellme yes, we are all alive and moving, something we should be grateful for even tho we have struggle we should still be happy! Well said!!

@xamos Sounds like your having the best times at the moment! Don’t be so hard on yourself, sometimes you have to enjoy the moment and worry after. Your family will not be here for ever so make as many memories as you can. Im oddly craving walkers cheese and onion crisps today! Not even a cheesy kinda girl but dam…. I want them! I may treat myself to a bag when I get home. Dark chocolate is the way! you only need a little before you don’t want any more due to the high coca. March is DEFINITELY your month!

@karlanz We have done some geocaching here but it mostly seems like we live near idiots and they have been moved so we spend hours looking for something that isn’t even there!! Its good fun tho when you do find them. Great family time.

@smeagle well done on lowing the drinks and making some good choices on the snacks. Every little helps with lowing the calories so I wouldn’t worry too much about going over a little. I feel your pain on the dodgy scales! Buy some new ones ;0

@smileycgirl well done on resisting those pies, we have a lovely pie shop near us and I find it so hard to resist when I walk past. I have to not go in if the fella and daughter go in. I swear I would end up jumping behind the counter and I would literally end up lying in the pies eating them all haha

@tiffoz Well done for an amazing FD!! If you find it easy to not have the snacks then do what’s best for you! Don’t let those bad habits undo all the good your doing!

@tanchora Those cravings will never go (sorry) but if your like me you just have to learn to not binge on what’s bad for you. Try what @xamos is doing and stick to high coco content, you eat a lot less! Yes not long now at all until my wedding! I’m getting a tad excited about it all now!

Long post but thought id reply to you all as we are doing amazing!!!

Hello!

I just have to say that I really enjoy reading all of the posts and encouragement even though I am not a prolific poster myself.

Yesterday was a FD for me and I have to say that I am proud of myself! The hubs wanted to go out for Taco Monday and I stayed home with the baby and stuck to my fast. He said he was proud of me and how hard I have been working on my fasting.

I really hope to lose some more weight and body fat. I have been Googling healthy waist and subcutaneous fat versus visceral fat for the past 30 minutes.

I know I need to lose weight but am so discouraged by my middle. I can pinch so much fat and skin and just don’t know how much is my diet and lifestyle or if any is related to having four big babies in seven years. Probably a combination of both. I am just tired of my squishy belly making my children giggle. 🙂

Oh well, I try to tell myself that children love the softness of their mother and I don’t think it bothers the hubs that much either. I remember Michael Mosley losing visceral fat on the documentary. That is my aim because I know it is so unhealthy.

Also, I am proud to say that my alcohol consumption was much lower this past week. Partly due to a cold, but I am trying to break a bad habit of having a few glasses of wine each night.

So, there we go. In vino, veritas. (I am on my second glass tonight.)

@xamos

So excited to see this February group! Is there still room for one more? I would love to get back into it.I forgot my lunch today so figured no time like the present to jump in with a FD.

🙂

Day 8 – NFD
10k steps – 12 day streak

Weighed myself yesterday morning, and have lost a kilo in the first week of the month! Very exciting, as my goal for the whole month is 2kgs 🙂

The plan is for a FD today, and now I’ve written it done I have to do it!

@smeagle, @xamos – linseeds go well in bread-type things, and I think they’re also good to sprinkle on cereal (not that I’ve tried this, but it’s what I’ve been told). Mine are ones mum bought, and then didn’t use, so putting them in the pizza base was a bit of an experiment. It tasted good, even if the base didn’t rise! (I think I put in too many linseeds.)

@hippyhayles – yes, I imagine it would be a great family activity. Some of the caches I’ve found would be much easier to get to if you’ve got little people with you! Such a shame if you’ve got caches that aren’t actually there though 🙁

@xamos – geocaching is good fun, but be warned, some of the caches can be very tricky to find (in my experience anyway). They do let you know things like container size on each cache’s page, so I’d start off looking for larger containers – or at least not the tiny ones, that can be anywhere!

Hello friends,

Well what a morning, how many times have we all thought ” I wish I could wake up thin tomorrow?” Well for me, that day has arrived this morning, I know I’ve lost weight, I look thinner and my clothes are now way to big. I’ve just not “felt” thinner. However, this morning I woke up, looked at myself in the mirror and actually felt AND looked thinner. What an amazing feeling!! I cant wait for my weigh in on Sunday! I haven’t weighed since the 1st so it will be good to see what I’ve managed to achieve!

@wellme Well done sounds like you’ve got this in the bag!! Keep going!!

@shellydawn I am the exact same, carry most of my weight in the middle. I only have one child and she’s 15 next month so cant blame the kids. Alcohol is my biggest downfall. I am a classic binge drinker! However I’m not having a drink not until 3rd march so I’m hoping for some great results by then! Good luck with the next few days.

@xamos Yes, I had some crisps at the weekend, some lovely Aldi ones, duck and something, they were yummy! So glad to hear that your embracing the time with your family. I was very close to loosing my dad a few years ago and it really hit home to me that I would struggle to cope without him. Hence why I HAVE to loose this weight. I don’t want to put my daughter through that because I couldn’t loose weight due to being lazy and not caring. Can you up date me please FD were Mon, Wed and will be tomorrow.

@willworkforhealth Welcome back, great group your started and @xamos has been doing a great job on your behalf!

@karlanz Yes, once you have said your doing something DO IT! I used to lack in this, more a lack in commitment than anything, I have seen the error of my ways and if I say I’m doing something I do it! This month is all yours go get it!!

Happy Thursday people the weekend is nearly here, does anyone have any nice plans for it?? I am going to my wedding venue to confirm all the final details!!! Oh and I have to go shopping for new clothes as nothing fits me anymore, another great moment! 2017 is defiantly MY year so far after a few really crappy ones.

xx

Hello everyone,
Well I weighed this morning and am down to 72.5 kg which is awesome. I know it’s just because I fasted yesterday and it will be up tomorrow after eating normally! Too scared to weigh on the normal day ( Saturday morning) because I’m doing a roast lamb tomorrow night and that will show Saturday! It’s sooo not fair😝
@smeagle Thanks for your comments. That’s what I’m doing and seem to be having good results though I’m off to Bali in a couple of weeks so we’ll see if I can maintain it! The 8 week blood sugar diet is Michael Moseley’s newest thing but mainly aimed at those with or bordering on diabetes. The idea is to cut back to 800 calories/ day to drop weight quickly and rebalance sugar levels before maintaining on the 5:2 or 6:1. It’s not bad short term and I’m enjoying the recipe book but I don’t have a lot to lose ( another 4 kilos) so should be able to do the 5:2.
I think I have read every similar weight loss/ healthy eating book in the last month. I could be a Doctor with the amount of study I’ve done! It sounds so easy…,why do I love food and wine so much?!!!

Good Morning ALL!
NFD & really want oatmeal it’s funny the things I want to eat on these days.
Down .8# so total of 19.2# !!!

I have discovered Starbucks Petite Vanilla Bean Scones 120 calories ($1 each if you buy 3) and SO YUMMY! Not to sound like the Food Channel but they are much better than the standard scone at 430 calories (dried out and huge).

I am so encouraged by everyone’s success, KUDOS to ALL!

@smeagle Yes, saw the Gaga half time and have seen her struggle with weight at times; although she is young and very fit now. Hard to not be fit while dancing AND breathing well enough to sing!

I am currently planning a 80th Birthday Party for my Dad and my sisters are fighting…sheesh! We are planning to eat at an Italian restaurant…pasta, Caesar Salad, Dessert…oh well, it’s next month and I can plan ahead to eat correctly AND still have a glass of wine.

Question: Perhaps the “chart” should show FD, NFD and how much we have lost or gained each day? Just one more way to be accountable?

Have a great DAY stay strong and drink more water than you ever have!

Day 9 – FD
Day 10 – NFD
10k steps – 13 day streak

Didn’t have too much trouble with my FD yesterday, which was nice 🙂 Having the weekend off (I find it hard to fast in the weekend), so Monday will probably be my next FD.

@xamos – linseed and apple cookies sound yum! And you’re right – I’m using geocaching as a way to keep motivated for my steps (as well as reporting my streak to this group). I think it’s making a big difference, I’ve certainly lost more weight than I expected this past week. Might even lower my overall goal if it stays this easy!

@smeagle – apple crumble also sounds like a great idea for the linseeds!

@hippyhayles – good work! I’m sure cutting down on alcohol or cutting it out entirely for a while will be a big help in getting the weight off and keeping it off. I don’t drink much any more since I discovered years ago all the empty calories in booze… I’ll still enjoy a few drinks for dinners out etc, but definitely less than I used to.

@grins – you can do it! If you kept yourself to 900cals, that’s still pretty good 🙂

Hello FSGAC friends,

So, on Monday I had my OH weigh me and not tell me my weight, I couldn’t bare seeing if or what damage my weekend had done, my weekend off plan made me put on 2lb which wasn’t too bad, I thought it would be less but never mind. Its shown me how easy it is to undo all my hard work. I’ve worked extra hard this week, keeping my NFD to around 1000 and my FD to around 600, I wasn’t going to weigh until Sunday but I couldn’t resist this morning and I’ve lost the 2lb I gained plus 2lb more. Happy but annoyed at the same time as that could have been 4 off. I shall weigh again on Sunday and hope there is another lb or so gone! Its given me the boost I need to stay on track now and I’m finally in the right mind to cut the booze and work hard for the next few weeks. I’m now starting to try and think what I’m going to look like on wedding pictures(slight panic mode). Something I haven’t done since getting my dress!

@smeagle yes it’s good to remember that you don’t have to drink to get drunk, however I struggle with that so its either all or nothing for me. At the moment I’m choosing the nothing option!

@wellme that restaurant sounds like heaven to me! I don’t think I could resist all the yummy treats, and of course i’d no doubt wash them all down with a full bottle of vino.

@willworkforhealth That’s a great goal for the month! Good luck I’m sure you can do it!!

@grins Now come on you! You can do this, don’t be so defeatist. Looking after ill kids will take its toll but remember to make those good choices. I have started to ask myself “why am I eating this” each time I want something bad for me. I say “are these calories worth it” “will I enjoy it that much or will I feel bad after” every time I know I will feel bad and now I make a choice NOT to eat it. Get your head in the game and remember we are here for you!!! 900kcal is still amazing, so don’t beat yourself up, that’s where the vicious circle starts and you will just binge on junk. It’s still a lot less than you need so ANY deficit in calories is good.

@karlanz yes lots of empty calories, I just really struggle at the weekends to not have some. I have to stay busy and make sure I have to drive somewhere to ensure that I don’t drink. I’m working overtime this weekend and working 7 days so not a chance I can drink. So bonus for me, more money and no empty calories from booze.

@tiffoz wow sounds like a lot of rain! Well done for doing your steps tho, sounds like some serious commitment from you. Keep it up!

@xamos can you update me please FD was Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week. Going for it this week to shift those extra pounds!

Happy Friday people, have a great weekend!! xx

Im happy to have my weight included so that its logged on here. I don’t weight every day tho but I do sometime weight more than once a week just to keep track. Bad I know but I do….

Good morning All,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Apologies for being incommunicado for some long, returned home from 10-day business travel Friday afternoon and was thrilled to be reunited with my beautiful and amazing wife! Exercise was decent while on travel (ran 13 miles last week but last weight training was Monday) but eating was so-so, not much snacking and quantities were good (actually made a lot of progress in that regard) but lots of rich foods for lunch and/or dinner most days (plus probably averaged 2-2.5 glasses of wine per night!). Don’t have as much alcohol at home (last drink was Thursday night on travel). Got back on track with MFP yesterday, went to movies with my wife (no food at the cinema) and ran a painfully slow 5 miles (10:50 pace) yesterday late afternoon despite decent temperatures. Looking forward to church this morning and planning to continue with MFP today but eat closer to daily calorie targets today and will get in some weight training today. Will step on scale tomorrow morning (expect to be up) but glad to be home and get back on track.

Wow, what amazing results from so many folks this morning!

@hippyhales – wonderful, just wonderful on your success!!! Scales are fine but clothes can really paint a picture and mirrors are obviously…revealing!! So excited for your success and nice adjustment on your alcohol intake. Have you thought about any non-food rewards for your success? Again, congratulations and keep it up!!

@smeagle – wow, another success story – congrats on having a great February!!

@xamos – so glad your feeling better and hope you can give yourself a pass for this month. Any strategies for “breaking even” the rest of the month? No weight gain during less controlled eating environments (including holidays) can be a major win!!! In addition to not gaining weight, these are great practice for “how do I eat the rest of my life and not gain weight?” While I’ve made major progress on that front at home and with personal travel, definitely still struggling with business travel (although I’ve developed some much better habits). Hope you enjoy the journey and thanks so much for leading this group 🙂

@wellme – congrats on your results so far! Awesome that you do HIIT, i tend to just do steady/classic jogging and upper body weight training but have read so many good things about HIIT. I did it once a few years ago (sprint/walk/jog) but have been a baby about doing it again! Have fun in Austin (great town)!

@karlanz – great results as well and awesome streak with steps!

@grins – great sentiment and I’m with you in looking to get February jump started!

Hi FSGAC friends
And happy Monday to you all.
The weekend was a time of indulgence as usual. I was a little stressed so drank around 20 units of alcohol since Friday.
13 and 14 Feb are FD. We decided to postpone Valentine’s Day until later this week. We have unexpected got extra child care duties and it’s half term. Severely tempted to reach for a bottle of wine.
Still, Feeling lucky because everything is going well.

@tiffoz I hope you are having a lovely anniversary!
@lessofme thanks, you sound as if your time away went well diet wise.
@wellme, you are so energetic! Well done with the workouts.
@hippyhales and @xamos, I am not keen to record a daily weight as I know it fluctuates and is sometimes a little depressing. I make entries on the ‘tracker’ page sometimes. If I have a binge I put an entry on there to shock myself!
@xamos that’s how I feel, I may weigh myself but I won’t tell if it’s discouraging. Tomorrow on my second FD I expect a reasonable result and I will tell you then -;)
Have a lovely week lovely people!

Today is a FD. Not sure of weight – my scale needs a new battery but I wasn’t very good this weekend. It was my birthday! Cupcakes, wine, beer…and now Girl Scout cookies at our house. Oh my.

I wanted to share with you all my favorite healthy cooking website. Skinnytaste.com

I have made tons of recipes on her and love them all. My family does, too. Last Thursday I made the Turkey Chili for dinner with half a baked potato and it was delicious and very filling. I recommend!

http://www.skinnytaste.com/loaded-turkey-chili-baked-potato/

I am going to a BodyPump class this morning evening though I am fasting so wish me luck! Take care all!

Shelley

Hey @xamos thanks for the reply.

That would be great if you don’t mind. Starting weight 173lbs. Ideal weight 160lbs.
End of month goal 170lbs.

I’m fasting today, and due to prior social plans, will be fasting again tomorrow- As I have things going on every other day this week.

I’m sorry to hear that you are unwell. I really hope you feel better before your sister comes. 🙂

Thanks for the welcome.

Hello FSGAC friends…
Well, the weekend is over and I am happy to say that I did not gain! I did not lose either, I am unhappy to say that I am still 1 lb heavier than the start of the month. It is a FD today – and I am doing..ok – had a big salad for lunch and some smoked salmon on it – so I think it was a little over in the calories..but it was delicious!
My FD this week are today and Wednesday. Then we have tons of things going on for the weekend again – so will do my best to maintain!
@angela80 – welcome!
@xamos – sorry you are not feeling perfect again – that makes it hard sometimes to eat right – but sometimes it makes it easier not to eat as well. Hope you feel better fast so that you can enjoy your time with your sister!
@shelly = Happy Belated Birthday!!!!!
@smeagle – hang in there, but I get the wanting to reach for the wine!!! I had a bloody Mary yesterday!
@lessofme – glad you are back at home – very nice! Please greet your lovely and amazing wife -from your group!
@wellme – good luck on your travel days!
@Hippy – just happy for your success!! I love the photos on FB, of your differences, you look great! Keep it up, you will be a most beautiful bride!!!
Good luck this week everyone!!!!!

Morning everyone.

Days 11-14 & 16: NFDs.
Days 15, 17: FDs.

Last week and the weekend was not good. More news about my mother’s health and my cold didn’t help.

I’ve decided that there will be no more treats, not even at the weekend from now on. Too close to the holiday time.

Zumba is on plan this week, that’s good!

Good luck to everyone.

Hi FSGAC friends,
My weight results this morning are up to 56.4. I’m hoping for a better result tomorrow.
I stuck to the fast yesterday and had maybe 600 calories. So I am hoping it’s just water 😉

What helps me is to plan what I will eat in advance. Then try to stick to it! Yesterday I was tempted by a couple of squares of dark choc and I gave it. It is so delicious! Today I will have plain cottage cheese with chopped onion salt and pepper, plus a large plate of veggies with mozzarella and garlic oil.

@hippyhales, toast and butter is delicious comfort food. I am thinking about this now and salivating!!
Sorry though to hear about your situation and I sympathise. I have no doubt that tomorrow or Thursday I am going to open a bottle of French rose! It’s because we normally would have Friday to ourselves but now I have to drive two hours, acting as a taxi service.

@tanchora I hope your mum’s situation improves. This sounds v difficult.

@tiffoz your celebrations sound ideal. I love summertime. Yesterday we had a lovely starry sky and an enormous pink moon. How beautiful the world is.

Have a great week everyone.

Happy Valentines Day to all…FSGAC friends!
I am happy to say…I was finally below my starting weight for the month today! I had just an OK FD yesterday, as my daughters Volleyball team is selling chocolate bars and everyone was talking about how good they are…so guess what…I tried them and yes…they are quite good! But I am happy today considering. Now, it is Valentines Day and since I have a valentine who is awesome – we will be going out for dinner and some wine tonight…which is fine and I will not worry about it -as the next day is another FD!
@xamos – life can change in an instant either way – I really got together with my husband, who was an old friend from way back…was never a boyfriend, but we hung out sometimes, and 30 years later, we met up again and 2 months later we engaged and I moved from AZ to MN and here we are! That being said…I once wrote a “Love list” many years ago, while still married to my x, thinking maybe he would turn into the person I was writing my list about…the end result is that my husband is the 70+ items on my list!!!! True Story!

@smeagle…planning…it is what I have NOT been doing this month and it has showed big time!!! I am going to jump on the PLAN game with tomorrow’s fast!!!
@Hippy…hopefully, you will bounce back quickly from your weekend – I know you will and hope that you and your daughter feel better fast!
@tanchora – hope your mother will be ok.
@karlanz – I was tracking my steps all through January and have let that fall too this month…I am going to get back on with that too..
I don’t know why I let things go this month – but I am going on a ski trip in march and really need my ski pants to fit better!!!
So – planning, walking, Oh and someone mentioned no treats…I need to do that too!
Have a happy hearts day everyone…if you don’t have a significant other…give a valentine to someone that needs it today!

Afternoon,

Well im feeling better than I did this morning. My day has been good and ive stuck to my FD so far. Hoping to have an early night (ALONE) tonight as I have a very long day ahead tomorrow at work.

@smeagle weighing daily WILL make your see your weight fluctuations. Try not to do it! Yes, toast is just THE best!! Enjoy the wine at the weekend, have one for me please.

@xamos Life can throw some massive curve balls at times. I never thought id meet anybody after being a single mum for 9 years and then my OH just swept me off my feet. Stuff the trip, your health is important and work will always be there tomorrow. Thanks for your fab support! Certainly makes me feel loads better!

@grins All I can say is you sound just so totally in love! Its so nice to hear! Enjoy your lovely night with your awesome better half

@angela80 Hiya, well done on your very first FD, however I would like to raise a slight concern, please do not over do the exercise on a FD. You still need fuel for exercise so I would try and keep your FD for minimal things if possible. Also you can put your body into starvation mode in some cases where too much exercise and not enough calories. The then totally defeats the whole thing as your body stores everything you eat. Good luck tho and we are all here if you need any advice

Have a lovely night groupies and happy Valentines day xxx

Good morning Friends,

Happy Wednesday! Had a wonderful Valentine’s Day with my beautiful and awesome wife – was really pleased with my eating at dinner (very small bit of bread, 4 scallops with a tiny portion of crab meat accompanying the scallops, mashed potatoes (reasonable amount), sautéed spinach, and shared a side of roasted Brussels sprouts although did have 2 glasses of champagne (at home) and a martini at dinner. My wife and I do not do candy on Valentines Day to make it more of a guilt free holiday (although I did decorate with rose petals 😉 …)

Got in some weight training yesterday and may have a window to run when temperatures are high enough, otherwise will do weights today. Have been having different salads as part of lunch (measure and use my own dressings to control calories) and tracking my calories in MFP! Nice thing about salad is pressure to eat each day so prepackaged trader joe salads or mixed leaf bags don’t go bad 🙂

Weighed in and up approximately 2 lbs after business travel but slowly coming down. While I definitely had some nice eating and exercise habits for a 10-day business trip, looking at the math, half of my weight gain was due to red wine on travel given that 3500 calories is a pound. Need to have a better plan where I have more days that are alcohol free while traveling, especially when not eating dinner with others.

Current weight – 195.8 lbs

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

@xamos – feel better!!! Hope you had a nice time with your sister. You strike me as an amazing woman and a treasure that your future husband will cherish.

@smeagle – besides your great approach to FDs, enjoy that you don’t seem to get on the emotional roller coaster with the scale. Great point on planning. Convinced that high-level Planning food/meals for the day ahead is important for just day-to-day “normal” eating.

@angela80 – great job counting calories as your backup to making NFDs valuable! Hope your Valentine’s dinner at home was wonderful! (Sadly, I’m not much of a cook, have tremendous admiration for men who are)

@grins – what a wonderful testament to your husband and sounds like the loving and devoted appreciation is mutual! Good luck on your FD.

@hippyhayles – Hope you had a successful FD. Great attitude and bounce back from what sounds like a challenging morning. So easy for us to make food a little g-o-d in our lives and a source for comfort.

@tanchora – hope your mother returns to good health. Like your strategy, sometimes easier to give something up if it’s difficult to just eat a small amount. (I too gave up treats/sweet dessert foods – could never eat just one doughnut 🙂 …) Hope you have some type of indulgence that you can enjoy in smaller amounts/less frequently so you don’t resent “dieting” (in my case, I still eat salty snacks on occasion but don t keep them around the house)

@tiffoz – happy anniversary! Psyched for your trip to Bali, have a great FD.

@karlanz – great sentiment regarding your exercise, look forward to your next amazing streak! Losing a cm is awesome!!!
