Managed to do Monday, Thursday and Saturday fasts last week, plus fasting today, so will plug in tomorrow morning with hopefully a loss. My three fasts didn’t do the trick, and only managed to drop 1/4lb last week, so am taking today to the limit!
Went for a trip around the loop of blairgowrie , Braemar, balmoral, Aboyne, Ballater then back home via Stonehaven. Beautiful day punctuated by downpours , but the mountains were covered in purple blooming heather. Wonderful sight, Scotland at its best! Tuna salad later and we are in the middle of a dark thunderstorm. Do hope the weather is more settled in September. We need something nice before the winter moves in.

Will check in in the morning with weigh in and measurements. fingers crossed xxx

Yay! 4.4lbs for Miss Muffin top.

Hi everyone, the romours aren’t true, I’m still alive and kicking, sorry for not being on here for a few days, too much golf and work is also getting in the way some days LOL

My last contribution to MMT is 1.75lbs for last week so reasonably happy with this given the month of August has been quite full of Social and family clelbraction events all involving eating, drinking and unscheduled meal times however with a little bit of careful planning managed to get in suffiocient fast days to keep the scales ticking over.

Regarding the September Whip Cracking Challenge I’ll set the Forum up this morning so it’s available for everyone to log onto and we’ll get cracking with some brave goals and get our list happening. Til next time stay strong and focussed and we’ll make September our best month yet so it sets us all up for the 3 lead in months to Christmas. It’s the first day of Spring down here in the South so looking forward to days getting longer and temps warming up. Take care everyone and stay strong on your journey to Skinny

Weigh in tomorrow and will post results but have lost 6 cm from my waist so although I hope I make the 2 kg I pledged, if I don’t have a loss of at least .4 kg tomorrow all is not lost. For September I would like to donate 2.5 kg but can’t remember who we are donating to! Here is a quote which may help someone in the month ahead. “I am not a product of my circumstances, I am a product of my decisions”
Good planning everyone!

Hi everyone again

Here’s the link to the September Forum for everyone who wants to keep up the Challenge. We need a new name for our Mascot of the Month, I’m open to suggestions

https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/little-voices-september-challenge-lets-crack-the-whip-this-month/

I’ll start our list as people indicate their interest to be with the group.

Cheers

Hi folks, well my total for August is 3 pounds to donate. Not my best month but happy I didn’t gain with all the camping. Really looking forward to a focus on myself this September as my kids are both off to school. First time in 6 years with no kids. Gulp. I am sad to see my little ones leave the nest. There was snow today so it is easy to go to the gym and stay away from the beach, boat and camping. Great job everyone. Hope to read your words of encouragement this September.

Total loss of 4lbs for me…last week went waaaay bad! September is here, time to get into gear…Kx

Well done everyone who has ditched the pounds during August, there are some impressive weight reductions here. It seems to have been a difficult one with all the entertaining/holidays etc, me included, so here’s hoping September will bring better results for us all, and I’m sure Mr Whip cracking Action Hero will be leading us on.

Results for me are a little disappointing. Didn’t reach my goal weight, and after trying really hard for the last week, still only managed to shed another 1/2lb. Seem to be slowing right down at the moment, and as said before, will rethink what I’m doing in the hope it wont be so difficult. I want to avoid the plateau like the plague.

So: from end of July to now:
Started at 9st 10.3/4lb Finished at 9st 8.1/4 – total loss 2 1/2 lbs. for the little fat Miss Muffin Top. Out the door after Lardy Lad! Was hoping for 3 3/4, but hey, I’ll take it.

Have lost in measurements:
1″ off my hips
1/2″ off my thighs
1″ off my calves

So things are happening albeit very slowly. Must be because I’m getting close to target.

For September my goal is to get down to 9st 5lbs, that’s a small loss of 3.1/4lbs (Don’t want to get stressed about this)
I have a very ‘posh’ birthday party to go to in October, and my nice goal is to buy a new dress SIZE 12!!! I feel on the cusp at the moment, and should be able to do it, with the help of all you Little Voices!

Thanks FitnFast for your leadership during August – despite your foot problems you have kept us inspired. So are you ready Action: over to you.
Read earlier ‘Attila the ton’ might be a good name for Septembers little bisom. Anyone else got any ideas?

OK September, here we are, lets all go for it with determination and enthusiasm! TTL

I only have one pound for Muffin Top, but I’m glad to have anything!!!!

Yeah!loss of 1.3 kg which is a total loss of – drum roll – 2.5 kg for August. Sooo pleased and I know the start of the journey is maybe the easier part but so pleased I not only got my goal of 2 kg but did slightly better. See you on the next page of our journey.

I’m ashamed to admit 3lb gain this month. Haven’t been focused and exercise has slipped.

One kid back at school today 🙁 sad for holidays to come to an end but the routine will help me ‘get my slim on’.

Thanks fitnfast for leading August. You are still getting good losses even post op so that is of comfort after my August binge!

After being a very good girl for two weeks I completely busted it today. Let’s just say it involved home-made fried chicken for dinner and leave it at that.
It was supposed to be just for the other members of the family. How did it get on my plate??

Also forgot to plank yesterday. I’m going to blame a late-night TV series.
Plank challengers, is there a good time to plank? Does the time of day matter?

Sigh.
