Hello everyone!
It’s almost time for the July 2019 Monthly Challenge – I have volunteered to host this month’s challenge which was started in May 2016 by @coda. More than 3 years later and this challenge is still powering along.
This is an international forum full of very supportive people, some have lost great amounts of weight, some are half way there, some sitting on Mount Plateau, others are just starting their journey. What you will find here is great support, no judgement, friendships, lots of laughs, and the wonderful comradeship that comes from sharing this 5:2 Fast diet, this wonderful Way of Eating (WOE), this great Way of Life (WOL).
We are all in it for the health benefits as well as the resulting weight loss.
The usual format is to start your post with the day of the month, where you are and whether you are fasting (FD) or having a non fast day (NFD). Some may want to post that they are having a Controlled Day (CD – below TDEE), others a Liquid only Fast Day (LFD). Some have back to back (B2B) fast days.
For example, my first post will be
Day 1 – Ireland – FD
If you start the challenge later in the month you are still always welcome. Please note that even though it might be your first day on the challenge, if its July 8th (for example) then it is Day 8. As this is a true worldwide forum it keeps us all on the same track to know what day it is – and it is fun to hear about the different lifestyles, weathers, stories and customs from all parts of the globe.
Post as often or as little as you like, but most have found that a daily post gives daily accountability and helps us toe the line whilst we are off fighting various dragons.
Through experience, trial and error, you will figure out what best fits your lifestyle and what works for you. With all of us together spurring each other on, we cannot but BE a great team together for the July 2019 challenge..
I will post the link to the spreadsheet a little later, but just wanted to get the ball rolling in plenty of time for July 2019…..
