Day 4 nfd yesterday and today day 5 FD. I have felt a bit ill on sun and napped all afternoon and than..woke up and went to bed again 😛 No idea what scales would advise today will hop on it tomorrow and will see an increase most likely due to all my lovely meds ahhhh.

Today a bit of a failed FD – I woke up with back spasm and things are currently tad painful. Cant take meds sans food thus took ar 900 cals instead of planned 500 ah well. Hopefully I will kick back to normal in few days. This is by far my “best” back spasm ever in that I am mobile managed to work and walk to and from work and not die. My post half marathon fitness pays huge dividends. On a bright side went for two wee runs on wknd and I felt awesome and my legs are defo much stronger. Onward and… hopefully downward 😛

Day 5, USA, Missouri Ozark, FD

Maintaining below goal weight.

Hello all, spent about FOUR HOURS yesterday afternoon trying on clothes, keeping clothes, discarding clothes, getting a big, huge bag of clothes (great clothes) to donate. It was so odd, there were about ten pair of dress slacks that I had put away, really nice slacks that must have been way too small but I wanted to keep them – just in case.

WELL, each and every pair fit. It is so cool to be able to tuck in a blouse or top if I want to without having a “pouchy belly” to contend with. I really don’t think it is the ten or twelve pounds of weight that I have lost as much as the commitment to daily exercise. But, on the other hand, there are at least a dozen pair of slacks that are just – as my husband said recently – tooooo baggy. They are all in excellent shape so I am very pleased to donate them. Lots of nice tops and blouses as well. It was funny, I was actually hurting when I got done, lots of bending over I guess.

I didn’t eat breakfast, ate a nice lunch after church with the hubby then worked for hours and didn’t even drink my iced tea I took in with me. I wasn’t hungry when I finished but I was dying of thirst. Didn’t eat any dinner so keeping busy does really help, doesn’t it?

Wishing each of you well.

Day 6/FD/Melbourne Australia

Second day of b2b2b. I’m staying on the list. Please forgive me if I fall off. I completely forgot it’s my 41st wedding anniversary today!

@happymargo I Konmaried my larger clothes also. I kept one dress to remind me of the past. After two years of maintaining it’s now sitting in the charity bag. Not having larger clothes in my wardrobe keeps me motivated. @bert ‘s advice to note how clothes feel rather than focusing on numbers on the scale helps also. Any sign of a muffin top above my skinny jeans and I’m back on the wagon.

I’m embracing no BMW as well. I’m definitely adding no w(h)ining, fellow pocket winos, starting tomorrow. DH advises we have a lovely bottle of proseco to share this evening.

I’m staying on the b2b2b list to hold hands. Enjoy the day.

Still Day 5

Adding a few more to the Day 5 list

@onahealthyhigh — No w(h)ining?!? 🚫🍷🚫 😳 Yikes!

You’re tougher than I am! I’ve backed off the marvelous local craft beers Colorado is well-known for, but no wine?? 😢 Sorry to my Fellow pocket winos…. I’m just not there yet!

Day 5 Ohio, US — FD
Day 4 –NFD
Day 3 — NFD

Interesting to watch weight go up and down. Down a couple/three lbs after FD, then back up one after NFD. I have decided to stop weighing daily to see if this helps me focus less on it.

Oh, and I guess it goes:

(Day 1)June 5th – FD – Portland, Oregon

🙂

Day 5–Mexico City, NFD
Day 4–Mexico City, NFD
Day 3–Mexico City, NFD

I’m feeling hungrier on NFD than on FD, does this happen to anyone else?

Day 6 Tas Australia FD

Second day of b2b2b! Kept it under 300 cals. Feeling great. Glad to be part of such a great group!

Day 5 FD.
Have to admit when I read that the second week fast days were easier I didn’t believe it but seems to be true today.

Day 5 USA FD
Well I made another FD. I am getting frustrated though. I started in March and weight was coming off quickly. April was good too. May was horrid. I have only lost 3 lbs. in a month. I have gone up and down most of the month. 4 more lbs. almost seems impossible. I wanted to reach my goal of 125 by June 18. I don’t feel like I am going to be able to do it. I can’t get motivated to exercise. Someone help!

Day 6 Brisbane Australia NFD

Successfully got through my first fast day yesterday. The only time I felt my willpower waiver was when I was preparing dinner, but I powered through.

Managed to fast another 18hrs through to lunch today (unintentionally), where I have enjoyed a LaZuppa Chicken & Vegetable Soup In A Cup (only 55cal and soooo yummy!!). Hoping this will tide me through until my dinner of homemade Mexican Lasagne & steamed vege tonight.

Scales are down on yesterday, and while I realise this is mostly water, I am happy they are travelling in the right direction.

Have a great day everyone!! 🙂

Day 6, Germany, FD
98,6 kg today.

Day 5, UK London FD
Soo good to get a fast day out of the way on a Monday and did well…have stuck to my staple of tuna and lettuce at 12pm which sees me right through and a light soup at 7, although think I’ve been through about 100 different kinds of soups and not been impressed with many of them so going to start making my own. Was just under 500 cal and have been fasting since 7pm Sunday. Wooo! Failed on the 3 litres of water though so will make up for it today

Day 6, London UK, NFD

6.30am…no hunger pangs yet ..will see if I can hold off until lunchtime and as it’s my last day in my current job, might finally have that lasagne that has been teasing me all these months !

Day 5, Northumberland, UK, FD/BSD?

Not sure how today will go. Tuesday’s are my standard fast day, but after back to back days with the BSD limit of 800 I’m feeling a bit off this morning so might need those 800 cals today. Heavy rain after a week of sunshine is not really helping. I will get to the gym this morning and see how I feel from there.

Hi
I’m new to this please may I join?

Day 6 FD 2nd of B2B

Holding strong on 2nd fast day! Determined to get to 63 Kg this month. That would be a loss of 1.4 Kg for the month… surely doable! That weight would bring me into the 9 stones something, a number I haven’t seen so long I can’t remember!
Good luck to everyone for a good mindful day today.

DAY 6 – UK – FD

Well, I fizzled out at the end of May – the debacle over our flights to NI a main factor, we did finally rebook with another airline and flew out on Sunday night, arriving at our destination on Monday 01.00 a.m. I didn’t diet all week……and then just totally depressed by the news from Manchester and then London.I can’t quite get my ahead around thinking about my weight….but I will try, I have made a conscious effort not to weight myself, as I know I have put on lbs. and it will depress me too much, and when that happens I usually start eating even more. I will try to get a few fd’s under my belt and weigh myself in a couple of weeks time when I am hopefully “on track” again. Apologies for sounding so miserable. Good fasting everyone.

Day 6, Guildford UK holiday Madeira, CD (controlled)

Yesterday was a planned feast day, sitting in the sunshine in Funchal drinking wine with salad. I had an orange and passion fruit ice cream. I think about 2,500 cals. Enjoyable and planned.

Yes lots of walking. Shoulder hurts a great deal from rotator cuff injury and I don’t like pain killers, I think they are bad for the kidneys and gut. Still needs must. Slept well.

Today I plan a controlled day at 1,200 cal. Tomorrow I fly back from hols so two days back to back fasting. Then return to 4:3 for a month. Because of injury may not hit my goal of 4 Kgs for June. So far though I had planned my holiday was rest days with 2 feast days, I only had one feast day this time.

@Jarbia- Did you eventually get your luggage back? It’s a horrible way to start a holiday. I hope your trip was worth it! Don’t be down. Life happens. Today’s a new day. Press the reset button and look forwards. Xo

Day 6, Hampshire – UK. FD.

FD for me today – the first so far in June!

Very hungry this morning as I rather stupidly had some of my OH’s chocolate last night before going to bed.

Hope all good for everyone else…

Day 6, Belfast, NFD

FD went ok yesterday…I had a few wobbles but I have taken the advice from this forum and have plenty of water on hand. This really helps. Bit of a challenging yoga class yesterday evening too, so that was all good.

@coda – Bon Voyage!! Your trip sounds amazing, have fun!

@lou Belles – I think you’ve copied the Day 5 Pocketeers list…you seem to be the first signing in, being in Australia. It’s amazing the global reach of this forum. Really cool!

Good luck everyone today, FD or non!

Day 6 – FIN – NFD

Yesterday’s fast was yet another success story – no headaches and no bigger hunger pangs. I broke my fast at around 4 in the afternoon with my typical choice as of late – a pear (cut into pieces) with two slices of Edam cheese and a few pecan nuts. For dinner I had a tomato-carrot-potato soup with cottage cheese. I haven’t calculated the energy amount for the soup, but I’m pretty sure I stayed within the 500 kcal limit since my fast breaker is a little below 200 kcal and the 100 g cottage cheese I had with the soup was 67 kcal.

It rained very late into the evening, so I had to substitute my run for strength training. I plan on running tonight instead.

I have plans to add another fast day this week to balance out the sweet binging I engaged in last week. I might also have to move Thursday’s fast day to tomorrow, as I’m attending a seminar on both Thu and Fri which might make fasting a little tricky.
