Hello all, sorry for the missing days. Had a couple of long tiring days…

Day 25 | NFD (very nearly made it to a good 16:8 but then I came home at midnight after a day of cycling and being on my feet topped off with three hours of life modelling and another 1.5 hours cycling home and my partner had pizza in the oven because he was working late. Best pizza ever!)

Day 26 | 16:8 (good day. Went out for lunch with friends to Nandos which came in at 1000 cals but also kept me full all day. So full that I didn’t even want to make dinner when I got home. Cooked anyway to give my partner dinner and make sure he has food to take to work today. Not only did I eat dinner on a pretty full feeling but I also stuffed my face with candy and chocolate afterwards. The interesting part is I didn’t really want it and I most certainly didn’t need it, but it was the only opportunity to pig out on sweets until next Tuesday and that scared me so I had the sweets anyway…)

Day | 27 FD (all well 😉 )

@adaline: Thank you for offering to look at my menu. I really think it’s the drastic change in fiber that’s causing me problems because since taking the supplement things have been better. I used to eat a fiber rich breakfast and then snack on fruit and veg between meala, so I think I’m used to high levels of fiber and with 16:8 my breafast and snack fiber sources have fallen away. Fingers crosses all will be well from here on 🙂

@marc: wow you’re so food at water fasting!

@violet: hope the MRI foes well!

Happy going everyone!

Day 28 IF 18/6

Finished a 40 hour wf at lunchtime to make today a 18/6 day.

Hope everyone is on fire to finish the month with a win.

Weigh in day. 76.7

A big effort for a small loss but 10cm from my waist….I comfort myself with that and I haven’t exercised this month because of my knee…….weird!

Day 25= FD
Day 26= IF
Day 27=IF
Day 28 =IF

Adaline- thank you so much for not giving up on me! Very sorry for my delinquency in reporting to the website. I had travel and presentations to prep to a pretty important audience this week- which was a very big distraction to me. Great to hear how everyone is doing. Wow! 10 cm off your waist Violet! That is wonderful….and I really am due for a water fast or longer term fast. Although maintaining at least an 16/8 plan, I have been fooling around with too much eating in the pm, sugar and carbs which I know is making me feel yuccky. Hope everyone has a strong finish!

Day 29 NFD. Day 30 so far FD. Fingers crossed.
Good resolve everyone.

Oct 29=FD
Oct 30=FD

Yes 28 was NFD. Thanks Adaline.

My Weigh in will be on Wednesday when home from a business trip.

Congrats to everyone! I enjoyed staying accountable with you all.

I forgot to say thank you to Adaline for organizing this. It really made a difference in keeping my head in the game.

@adaline are you planning a similar thread for November? If not, I’d like to offer to start a small group accountability thread like this one – but not if you already are.

Thanks Adeline for all your help. Day 31 was a FD. I’ll be able to weigh in on Thursday. Also thanks everyone for your comraderie on this board. Great to have support.
