Hey Momma,
You are very welcome to our little support group. Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
Well…..Sounds like you had a very successful first FD….big high five to you 🙌 I’m so glad you didn’t find it as tough as you thought it would be, next FD will be less daunting. I’m sure you’ll be as prepared and focussed as yesterday.
fasting and I said that the hot weather sort of makes it easier to diet, only during the winter months I really love eating hot, calorific, comfort food….haha….but not this year….I’m not undoing all the good I’ve done these past 4 months. I’m still 11st 5, I’ve plateaued these past 3 weeks, however 2 weeks of those I wasn’t focussed and only did one FD per week….tut tut. This week I’ve been very motivated, I did a FD on Sunday, a FD on Tuesday and a FD today, so I’ll be surprised and very disappointed if I don’t lose a pound.
If I don’t lose, I’ll probably need to tweek my diet, like eating less calories on my NFD’s.

fasting……you always eat the most delicious food. Hope you had great 4th July celebrations yesterday. Happy FD 👍

Abi…..How are you getting on???

Sarah….How’s things, when’s your next FD?

Hope you are all doing well x

Hey momma, don’t worry about eating a little more food than normal, i have days like that after a FD too, sometimes you can’t think of anything else but food…..and you’re right, it does get easier. I think once you start losing weight, you become more aware of the calories you consume on NFD’s, when you’ve eased into the diet, your eating habits will change for the better by naturally choosing healthier options and lessening the portion sizes 👍
It sounds like we have a similar story regarding our weight. I was 181lbs when I started the diet 4 months ago and now I’m 159lbs. My goal is to get down to 154lbs by the time I go on holiday in 6 weeks time….I’m nearly there 🤞 If I could get below that goal….wow….I’d be over the moon.

It’s important not to beat yourself up if you have a bad diet day, I’ve had plenty of those but like you said, the diet is flexible enough for you to get back into it. That’s why I decided to Fast on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday this week after my bad fortnight, I was in the right frame of mind to Fast this week. Sometimes sticking to same days for Fasting every single week is not possible for one reason or another, so a simple change of day won’t hurt at all, as long as you try and get 2 FD’s in. I’m still learning.

Good Luck with your next FD, I have every faith in you 🙌

Hi Dawn, I’ve gotta say, when I read your message I did smile. Having curry and chips and several glasses of wine all in your first week, it just tickled me. I don’t want to be a party pooper but try not to weigh yourself too often, if you read some of my earlier posts, I mentioned I weighed myself every morning and I was so surprised to see my weight flunctuate so dramatically, I went from having a 4lbs loss one day and the next day those 4lbs would be put back on again…..grrrrrr….it’s a real downer when that happens. I now weigh once a week. I’ve read from other dieters on the forums that this is very common.
I really hope you keep the 4lbs off, that will be an amazing start. You’re already getting into the swing of things, you’ll find your stomach will shrink and you start choosing healthier options and like you’ve already realised, you can go longer without food, that makes FD’s easier to do. You’ll be fitting nicely into your swimwear in no time. Let us know how you get on. Good Luck

Hey Abi,
You are doing brilliantly, 8 lbs loss in a few weeks is such terrific achievement…keep it going. You’re really doing it well if you are doing 3 days of Fasting per week, I’ve only done that once….lol.

I used to stick to the recommended Mondays and Thursdays for my Fasts. Now I tend to do them when I’m feeling most positive, so lately I’ve been doing them on Sundays and Tuesdays, Wednesday or Thursdays, it varies from week to week.

Hope you continue to see the pounds drop off, speak soon x

Hey Twinmomma,
Glad you’ve succeeded doing your second FD….well done you!!!

I’ve had a good weekend thank you. I had a really good FD on Sunday I think at the moment I find it easier to do it that day because I don’t work Sundays. I work during the week as a painter and decorator, which is quite an active job to do. I can get very hungry during the day as I’m painting the exterior of houses and it builds up an appetite.

I live in the UK and follow a bloke called The Body Coach, on Instagram, he’s a food and fitness expert. He has brilliant low calorie recipes on his 90 day plan and his Lean in 15 plan, check them out 👍

Glad you’re still getting on well after 2 FD days, keep up the good work, you’ll be shedding those pounds no problem. 👍
