Hi uk day 15 nfd
What a great group this is ❤
Now halfway through the month maybe a time to renew your resolve or tighten up on your days. If you don’t like where you are – then change it!
Down a little bit more today on my ‘official’ weigh day but up from my unofficial weigh in earlier in week – hate that lol.
Have a good weekend everybody be good to yourselves – cus your worth it!
Day 15 Portugal NFD
I hesitate to write my weight today which shows quite a loss after yesterday’s FD as I know that tomorrow it will most likely bounce back up….but here goes anyway….67.1kg. No exercise today as I had a lie in and busy helping kids with exam revision (A level – 17 yo) and class tests (my 13yr old).
Going out for lunch today with my hubby and 2 girls. Will need to make good choices, although that is hard!
Thanks simcoeluv for the advice and explanation. It is good to know that it is normal for weight loss to drop off a bit after the initial water weight loss. It is much more realistic to expect to lose 0.5 kg per week and aim for that. It will be more achievable and hopefully long lasting. I just need patience and persistence!
Have a great weekend!
Day 15, US, NFD….120.6
My FD was sidetracked yesterday when a forgotten baby shower at work forced me to have champagne and M&Ms. Sensible delicious dinner of swordfish and Brussels sprouts.
Going to a presidential fundraiser today for (guess who) and then dinner at friends. I will do my best to stay on course.
Day 15: Gloucestershire, Cotswolds, UK: Yet another non-fast day.
The good thing is, that I keep away from most of the bad foods I used to eat before my 5-2 way of life began in May, and I’ve still managed to keep at my goal weight.
I would prefer to be better at fasting though….like being able to do it!

Day 15
NFD
Today I jumped on the scales several times and the most number that it gave me was 64.5 kilos. This month I lost 1.5 kilos and down by 1.1 kilos from last week. I’m trilled and hope to at least maintain the weight. I need to lose 0.5 kilo more to reach my target weight of 64 kilos. I hope to do so this month. My husband has lost too as he is doing mostly 5:2 while I’m doing 4:3. This week I didn’t expect to lose so much as I went to a party and ate a lot of finger food. It just shows that you can eat your fill or a lot once in a while and still be a successful dieter on the fast diet.
Today I stayed within my TDEE and enjoyed breakfast at around 160 calories (coffee with semi skimmed milk And a portion of salted crackers, lunch and supper. In between I snacked on a pear.
Happy weekend everyone. Stay strong and eat healthily. Onwards and downwards.
Day 15 Cornwall UK . weight today 64.3kg.
Thankyou Northendawn and Merry for your kind words.
Back2the future, very helpful wise words for us all, thankyou.
Nfd but under tdee. pleased with that!
I did some baking this morning and made bone broth. Early afternoon I was hit by such wariness I had to go to bed for a couple of hours! I felt much better and went for a really long walk which blew the cobwebs away!
I Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Keeping busy is key, this week I’ve completed the main body of a quilt for my granddaughter, really enjoyable! I need to complete it for her birthday in November!
Day 15, E. Canada NFD with a vengeance.
Well, I didn’t make the FD yesterday, but I didn’t go nuts either.
Today I ate reasonably well, and as the evening came on we went to a party with lots – LOTS – of really good finger food which was served in lieu of dinner. I didn’t count a single calorie, gave myself a holiday and enjoyed myself immensely. It helped a little that I didn’t drink, but I don’t like drinking so no big loss. As for the rest – the cambozola cheese, the sushi, the several slices of smoked salmon and bread, the gozo dumplings, the coconut shrimp, the brownie (ah, ah, the brownie) it all was a big treat.
Hope it doesn’t show up too much on the scales – but still worth it. All work and no play makes 5:2 a dull girl.
Tomorrow, back to wear the food halo.
Day 16 Italy – FD
So i feel horrible this morning with a disgusting acid taste in my mouth. Overate yesterday out of sheer boredom and is has been a really learning experience. I really feel something in Fuvvie’ s last posts hit home. I ate rubbish constantly almost as an excuse not to do the housework that has accumulated in the few days my little girl has been ill. For how long have I been this lazy and just not wanted to see it??
At least now I am aware I can do something to change it…I’m afraid I’m not a big believer in lists (just another delaying tactic), I’m a Nike girl….just do it!!
misGizmo – just a thought for you on not posting due to guilt. Whilst I understand completely, so many times I have wanted to lie on here it’s pointless because the only person I’d be lying to is myself. Try to consider this forum as a mirror, we don’t know each other, the chances of meeting are highly unlikely, no one is judging and sincerely I doubt there is a more supportive environment than this one. If you can’t be completely honest here, the only person your cheating is yourself. Open up, nobody here cares how much you weigh, or if you ate FOUR chocolate muffins yesterday. Looking at yourself naked as you can here will help you recognize what you’re doing wrong, and will help you change your mindset and your habits that got us all to why we are here trying to lose weight. This group is such a powerful tool at your disposal use it to its full potential…plus what you write might just help someone else through their day. Just food for thought, didn’t want to get heavy
Going to wash yesterday’s dishes……
Tweed Coast Australia / Day 16 / NFD
I’m enjoying today’s DAFD also known as ‘day after fast day’! The days after a fast day are my favorite! I feel most in the zone and inclined to eat in response to real hunger. I’m happy with my choices so far.
I also invite everyone to be as honest as they choose to be. I have a history of emotional binge eating and have even struggled with this during this month’s challenge. Over a whole week I was so voraciously hungry. I remember finishing a big lunch one day and commenting to my husband about how hungry I felt afterwards! I snacked my way through the rest of that day and this carried on for the rest of the week until I dealt with and took action on something that I’d been in conflict about. It was the inner conflict that was tearing me apart and causing the gnawing hunger. Once I spoke my truth to those that I was afraid to speak up to, the hunger vanished. Sometimes it takes time to get to the origins of what causes our emotional hunger. I feel just by being a part of this forum, I’m given the strength to look and persevere with finding the root cause or causes so I can again regain the feeling of being ‘in the zone’.
Day 16. Sussex. U.K.
NFD.
HollyLJ – Great post and how true. I have a good week or so, nothing seems to be a problem food wise then
almost like a magnet, something in me changes. Like a pendulum swinging backwards and forwards. I still make impulsive choices. The habits which I thought I had got rid of, return with a vengeance, like eating in the evening after a perfectly good meal choice, and the few pounds lost go back on.
Just one pound more would be a stone since the beginning of June but I can’t seem to push on.
Grrrrr. Next fd will be Monday.
Enjoy your day everyone. I am wishing I were on Fuvvies verandah, sipping coffee with her. Tipping it down
with rain here. Lol
Sussex UK Day 16 NFD
Spending the weekend with my family and have realised just what carb-fiends they are and sooo not surprised that I also became a carb-addict! White bread toast for breakfast, white bread sandwiches for lunch, potatoes, chips, pastry etc. for dinner – interspersed with biscuits and cake. Having been doing BSD for the last couple of weeks I really noticed it yesterday and was very uncomfortable last night.
Really looking forward to a FD tomorrow.
Keep smiling O&D

Day 16. Essex uk
NFD. I’m heading off to the harvester for lunch. A great restaurant for the healthy eater. Salad bar with pure veg as well as items I’ll avoid such as potato salad. I’ll have just chicken with salad. Bingo. I’m cutting out starchy veg. No potatoes etc. Then after that meal which will be as big a selection of veg as I can manage and the salad, I’ll be fasting through to Tuesday breakfast. I didn’t eat particularly well yesterday. Daughters birthday party. I did avoid most of the party food but not completely.
I’ve realised that by making decisions what I do & do not eat I am in complete control. I can lose the weight. I’m learning what my body likes & does not like and choose foods that are sensible. I’ll get to my target weight. We all will.
Sunday bliss today. Happy Sunday all x
Day 16 USA (Illinois) Is 16:8 a FD or NFD?
The scale was kind this morning, still doing maintenance. Going to do a 16:8 today. Nervous eating yesterday over my sports teams! Isn’t that terrible?! My college football team (University of Illinois Fighting ILLINI) won – yeah! Then my Chicago Cubs baseball team had an exciting game last night with a win. Another tense game for them tonight.
Janeyb69 – hugs and prayers to you. Just trying to live life can really be awful.
Bajlish – I also try to really watch any starchy foods I eat. If I get anything on a bun (usually at a restaurant) I only eat the bottom portion of the bun. Really watch those potatoes and even other starchy veggies like corn, peas, and carrots.
Off to play piano at church. Onward and downward!
Day 16 Cornwall UK
Nfd
Janeyb so sorry to hear you’re so unwell. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, big hugs.x
HollyLJ, great post so true.
Fuvvie – I’m a great list maker, just love crossing off jobs done!
Today Ive had a really good go at the garden, pruning and clearing, the Autumn clean up!!
Now the rain has arrived, but plenty to be getting on with inside!!
I’m trying to sort out the thousands of photos on my computer, but I get side tracked with memories! How the grandchildren have changed and are growing up!
Hoping to get out for a walk later in between showers!
Happy Sunday x
Gozo. Malta
Day 16
NFD
Jayneyb69 so sorry to see you go. I prayed for you. Take care.
I weighed myself again this morning and I was 65.1 kilos up by 0.6 kilos from yesterday. I hope to go to the weight I was yesterday by next Saturday my official weigh day. Weight does fluctuate from day to day as some of you have reported and so it does!
Anyway I had breakfast at 150 calories and ate one whole Gozitan cheeselet, spare ribs with potatoes and vegetables and half a portion Mille folie cake for lunch. I omitted the usual glass or two of wine. This evening I’ll just have a yogurt with honey only. That way I hope not to go over my TDEE or not so much. I do look forward for the weekend. I don’t normally babysit on Sunday’s but my daughters all came here and ate takeaway food today. Their husbands weren’t here as one went abroad on work today and the other two where out for a business lunch. I still babysat some time in the morning my grandsons but now the children are all asleep and there is peace and quiet at the moment.
Happy Sunday everyone. Onwards and downwards. Stay strong.
Good Morning All, USA, Missouri Ozarks, Day 16 – Non Fasting Day
Had a good day yesterday, ate a lot of good stuff like Cheerios for breakfast, sandwich, potato chips and a few tiny shortbread cookies for lunch, had a big salad for dinner (and taste tested chili I made for tomorrow), lots of water, lots of exercise.
No breakfast, off to church, chili made yesterday will be today’s lunch after church. Another beautiful day, got all decorated for Fall and the farm looks very festive.
Enjoy your day everyone !
