How about buying him a belt, Symba? 😛
Good idea on the plant! I have no idea where to find silver paint, glass toys or tinsel though. But I’ll figure something out.

Wow Symba……just started this fasting last week……so two fasts done and the weigh in is on Wednesday. My husband and I are doing it (like you). I couldn’t resist getting on the scales though 5 days in (I know, I know) and up to now I’ve lost 3lb and hubby has lost 1.5 lb. I told a few people that we were doing it……only to be told ” It’s not good for you, you know” wait till they see a version of us that has shrunk haha. Just to say that you are inspirational and my hubby thinks so too. Keep up the good work. Catherine x
I have this weighted vest back home, it’s 10kg. I remember going for a brisk 5km walk with that thing on before I left for China. I even threw in some sprints. Daaaaamn I felt heavy and sluggish. Couldn’t wait to get that thing off of me.
Now I’ve lost 11kg and am hoping for 12kg lost this Sunday. It’s like taking that vest off…
Problem is because it’s so gradual I don’t really feel much different, but I just imagine that feeling of getting that thing off my body and feeling so light and fluttery. And that’s then the feeling I try to envision for myself ^^
Also great job, you caught up with the hubby! It’s awesome how you’re losing the same amounts of weight.
Well as long as you keep losing the same weight it’s fine right? You’ll just even out a bit sooner than him and you can torment him when you’re doing 6:1 and he’s still on 5:2…
Aye I can’t wait to get home and try that thing on again. Well I can’t wait to get home for many more important reasons, but that one is fun too 😛 I’ll most likely start going for jogs with that thing on or do some more HIIT just to see if I can. I may even wear it during Taekwon-Do practice, and do some sparring bouts with that thing on – then when I take it off I’ll be sooooo fast x)
Aye I’m usually on 1-2kg a week loss. I had a plateau of two weeks just now, but it can be explained by eating a bit too much. Now I’ve started exercise and my (rather strict) regimen again. Really want to dip under 80 and am even aiming for 75 by the time I leave China. It’s an ambitious goal, but I realize that so when I don’t reach it I won’t beat myself up too much. Anyway, looking forward to the weigh-in tomorrow! Today is a fast day and I’m gonna go up the mountain here for a bit after finishing my round through the forum.
Oh and yeah, I still have quite a lot more to lose. I started at 95kg, am currently somewhere around 84 and want to get down to around 65. So I’m about a third on my way 😉
Symba, I think this is a tricky situation for your friends. I remember my sister in law had lost quite a bit of weight and my husband told me not to say anything to her re her weight. I could say that she was looking “great” or similar but not that she had lost weight.
The reason was that if you say “have you lost weight” it means that you had too much weight before and that is not nice to say.
So my guess is that your friends did probably see it, but did not dare to say it. It is easier to tell guys that but not ladies.
Did they say anything to your hubby?
Stef.
I recognise that as well, people always tend to say “You look good!” instead of “Hey, you lost weight!” Well in my case some people might, but just because they know that I’m working hard to lose it, and they know it motivates me. I hate pictures of myself though, so I’ll most likely not post a new one until I’m near my target weight… let’s see how people react then 😛
Hi Symba!
Happy New Year to you and glad to see you & hubby are both better x
I put on too, pah, but I’m back in the saddle.
I thought of you on Hogmanay, 🙂 I ripped my favourite pair of jeans (admittedly, I only have two pairs), grr, but I’ve decided that I’m not going to buy a new pair until I can get into some skinny jeans, as you described in a previous post. I’ve never worn skinny jeans before; tight-fitting, yes, but that’s not the same thing, is it, lol.
Skinny jeans, brace yourself, here I come!

Hi,symba-caught up with you just before Christmas with a 28lbs loss but haven’t weighed myself since. Don’t plan to until next Friday with a couple more fast days and another few exercise sessions under my belt. I’m also going for another 7lbs but I don’t think hubby needs to lose any more.
Keep up the good work!
It’s great reading people’s posts and following your progress. I’ve been completing the fast diet for almost three weeks now and have lost 19 pounds. It’s just fallen off. I was over weight at 17 stone and felt very uncomfortable, too much beer and takeaways. I now weight 15 stone 9 pounds and will weight myself first thing in the morning. I find this diet very easy and have been completing three fast days a week and eat sensibly on the non fast days. No snacking and have made my portions smaller. I hope to loose a further 2 stone. Fingers crossed. I also do a six mile walk three days a week.
Thanks, I am just starting the journey (day one) and am encouraged to read so many positive stories. I started the fast exercise program about four months ago and have had really good results. I think for me the feeling of control over my body will be the major motivator, I am at the stage of life (early 60s) where I want to be in the best shape I can be and the diet and exercise regimes seem to offer the benefits I am seeking.
