Second post,

Wanted to wish you and yours the very best PashaW. Sepsis is a horror, my grandson battled it and it was so scary. He came through it just fine (he was 14) with only a mild heart issue – praying your husband recovers well with no lasting effects.

Also a couple of questions, when one talks about going to their allotment to do gardening, etc. – what does that mean? It is a place in the country or a community setting or what?

Also when one mentions having jelly at the end of a meal – what does that mean? Here jelly is something like grape or strawberry or something that is spread on toast, etc.

I love the international flavor of this board.

Day 26, Gozo Malta, fd

I’m 67.2 kilos this morning and it’s my last weight in for this month. Early Wednesday morning we travel for a four day trip to Sicily. I’ll report here on Sunday. On Sunday we celebrate my granddaughter fourth birthday.

This month I’ve not gained nor lost weight.

Today I fast for 750 calories.

Onwards and downwards have a great evening everyone

Day 26 – USA – NFD

Day 27/NFD/Melbourne Australia

Day 26 Massachusetts USA FD This was a successful FD. I ate nothing between 9am and 5pm. I used to do 3 small meals/day but I’m finding it easier to just avoid food and focus on other things for 8 hours. I had cereal and fruit for breakfast and veggie stir fry with lean pork for dinner. It was over cauliflower rice. I had 1/2 piece of chocolate with my evening tea. While I look forward to Friday’s weigh-in, ultimately the numbers aren’t as important as the fact that I feel and look better. Carry on fellow Fasters!

DAY 27 – Cumbria UK – FD

A very wet morning for my regular Tuesday AM walk today ☂️

Yesterday ended up being under 800cal day with a great yoga class last night to follow on from that wonderful workshop on Sunday – had nothing to eat after a healthy brunch with OH in the morning! Planning a strong FD today.

Will catch up with the posts later today as I have to get ready now to go meet the gang for our walk – hope the rain eases off……..

Catch up later

Day 27: Hampshire, UK -NFD

Sorry didnt get a chance to post yesterday: DAY 26 – FD

I have officially lost all the weight I put on during my holiday taking me back to 69.4kg, I did 4:3 last week. I am happy to have lost it but I’m a little gutted that I wasn’t able to loose more in June, I still have 2 more fasting days in June as I am doing 4:3 this week too so with some luck I’ll get to 69kg, I would be happy with that. This will be the point where my body really doesn’t like to shed more weight so it will be a challenge to drop from 69kg but I love this diet and so I plan to continue as normal and see where it takes me.

When I started, I had set my target weight to 68kgs but I think I want to loose a little more so I plan to just keep going once I hit 68kgs and see when I feel comfortable.

Can I check whats the plan for July? who’s running the July challenge?

Hope everyone is having great results for June, can’t wait to read about everyone’s weight loss in a few days!!

Day 27, London, UK, FD …………… (yeah!!!!)

Ok, so I’m just a bit excited that today is a FD, @at I’m definitely with you for a FD today!!!! Great post too!!

I fell off the wagon a bit over the weekend, the mind was weak!!! @jarbia, you can join me in re-mounting the wagon whenever you’re ready, we can locate that missing mojo, no problem!!! I’ve been re-reading my old posts for inspiration too, although I sometimes feel a bit foolish for the slip-up considering how positive some of my old posts are.

@redrockgirl302………. I’m 3lbs in 3 days, unbelievable, I met my target, I celebrated, so I’m now 3lbs above target…….. Doh!!!!! Todays’ target is 500cals and 3-4L water, I’ve just GOT to flush the excess fat/ salt/ water from my system too!!!! Good luck!!

@awilson, fingers crossed for the test results, I hope all is well. With me anxiety leads to a loss of appetite, funny how we all differ!!!

Still pushing to the end of this months’ challenge…………after all; ……… what else can I do, keep the faith people!!!!!!

Day 27 Belfast NFD (CD)

Day 27 – UK – FD

Hi everyone,

@pashaw – sorry to hear your husband is so unwell. I hope he feels better soon.
@at – I love your posts you are truly an inspiration to us all. Thank you for staying on our forum and giving us all the benefit of your wisdom on this WOL
@taraga – I was very skeptical about yoga, however, I have now realised as I get older, the more strength and muscle tone I have around my bones the better I will be prepared for old age. I used to think cardio, cardio, cardio to use up calories. Now I do a mixture of yoga, pilates, walking, dancing and some strength training. I think it is really about what we eat mostly for weight loss, the exercise is for our health.

I had a wonderful long weekend celebrating my wedding anniversary, probably celebrated too much but heyho. I’m back today to do 3 good fast days to end the month. I will not be at my target for June but I’m very happy with what I have lost so far, since I started towards the end of April I have lost about 8kgs or so.

Have a great day everyone.

Day 27 Australia NFD

Day 27 USA-WA NFD
Plan for today is to stick with LCHF and keep it up through the end of the month, along with fasting via 16:8. This plan seems to be suiting me right now.
@annemarilyn thanks for the recipe. I’m planning on making some today!
@taraga I am a yoga teacher and I also teach a form of cardio dance called Nia. I love the combination. Yoga has all the benefits others have mentioned, there are MANY forms of yoga these days, and you will build strength, focus, and it teaches you to engage your core muscles, along with stretching tight muscles. I like the discipline of the practice. Nia is great cardio, you do it at your level, and it’s a fun way to get cardio but it’s low/non-impact. I teach as a part of a healthy living class at our local hospital, and the thing they focus on there is to find an exercise form (or two) that fit into your lifestyle and that you enjoy enough that you will do them regularly. I find that when you find a group of people you get to know and you like seeing them, the group helps to keep people coming, and people don’t want to miss! Good luck and let us know what you find that works for you!

Day 27 UK NFD (or possibly my first b2b)

Yesterday’s FD went well, kept to under 500 cals. Since Sunday I’ve started with really bad toothache and earache so not sure if it’s an ear infection or tooth infection. Anyway it’s off to the dentist in about half an hour. So not looking forward to that. As I was in a meeting all morning and only just got home I’ve not had anything to eat yet. Don’t want anything before Dr Evil gets his hands on my mouth so might wait till tea time . If I go with my small quiche and salad plus a yoghurt I’ll be just over 600cals for the day. I’ve never done b2b before so am just waiting to collapse from hunger pangs or miraculously lose a stone overnight.

Wish me well fellow fasters. I feel a big bill coming on!

Day 27, Rocky Mountains, US, NFD

Hello, lovely people,

My FD morphed into a NFD yesterday, no weight gain this morning and consistently less fat on the scales. Might be my almost every day 12 miles I walked recently. More muscles, less fat= higher numbers on scales.
Today my vacation with DH starts and he likes to indulge in the homemade pies and cinnamon rolls at our favorite National Park. He says, it is summer, it is fun time. True, and we are hiking.
We don’t have internet at our cabin but I have 4G. So, I will be connected and check in with all of you so that I will not fall off the wagon totally. 😅😅😅

Looking forward to the July challenge although my birthday is coming up…
Oh boy, well, I keep working on it…

Have a great Tuesday! 😊😊😊😊😊

Day 27–ABQ–NFD?

Yesterday’s FD failed due to the strong call of the carbs as someone else put it. I was also very tired last night and despite doing everything I’m supposed to do to sleep properly, still woke up at 2 am and couldn’t get back to bed for a few hours. I’m too tired to fast today and I feel kind of discouraged. I just need to sleep through the night. Please?

Finally got back from a family trip on Sunday, while I was out of state I ended up walking around 3.5-4 miles total everyday. I weighed myself this morning and I lost 11lbs!! I way over my target weight for June and I’m so happy!

Day 27 Lancaster PA USA NFD
I started out pretty well on our June Holiday… I was able to walk most days including a 4-5 10,000 step days. Although a combination of my Birthday, Father’s Day and eating out at the awesome restaurants in San Diego have put me back in the Wine, Margarita, Carb sugar cycle. It will take a couple more days to get back into the fat burning cycle and off of carbs.😊 I did enjoy the wino’s group for a while though😊 I will be weighing myself again in the next day or so.😃
I’m so glad about our DD @booper.dooper’s results of losing 10 lbs for June! ✨✨ 🎉🎉Congrats on obliterating 5 lbs more than your target goal for the month of June @booper.dooper 🎉🎉
Working on winding down from the carbs✨I will weigh later this week.😊

Wishing everybody well on your NFD’s and your FD’s 😊✨🤗👍
