@AliceinBunnyland Haven't done any exercise today guys. I will make up for it tomorrow 😁@VenusStarr@Thewhalewhisperer

Hope you are all doing well

Ok @Thewhalewhisperer is there any apps that use as a guide. So do you like skip breakfast and lunch and just have dinner?

Well done @VenusStarr

I've done 12,000 steps but including a walk before dinner but I've also had a dark choc mint two finger Kit Kat, a mini dairy milk (the small thin bars), some peanuts and DH got us strawberries and cream for dinner (on top of lunch and dinner) - and this is an okay day for me!

I can't believe it is Friday tomorrow. I don't know where this week has gone!

@AliceinBunnyland at least you some steps in 👍🏿 Try and work off the excess calories tomorrow.
I went over my calorie intake by 250.didnt realized that my breakfast was so heavy. 🙄 Really need to do the fasting thing.

@Happyhappy37 I think I'll try to stick to one sweet treat tomorrow such as a mini chocolate bar after dinner which is less than 100 calories. Yes I got some steps in so have hopefully worked off most of the sweet treat calories so today was probably an average day for me 😬

I think I need to have quick and nutritious food around for breakfast and lunch as that's when I tend to reach for snacks sometimes.

I've also struggled to focus on work this week and that can sometimes send me looking for snacks. It's a shame because I was much better than this at the start or lockdown.

Morning all :) been for my run already, was hard today but it's a lot warmer and sunnier here, so putting it down to that.

Since I've been doing slimming world I've rarely snacked, which is a positive for me.

Have a good day everyone xx

Good morning all

Awesome job @VenusStarr 👍🏿👍🏿. I literally just woke up with backache as well. Went bed very late. Going out about 1pm for a walk.

Well done @VenusStarr That's a great start to the day. It's much brighter here too.

@Happyhappy37 I might try to go for a walk at lunchtime too. Maybe somewhere I haven't been for a while.

On BTW I weighed myself this morning and weighed a few lb earlier than when I last weighed myself. I was really pleased. Then decided to take off my watch etc to see if it's even lower but it was higher again. I just jumped off and disregarded that one

@AliceinBunnyland I just jumped off and disregarded that one grin 🤣😂😂

@Happyhappy37 But now I really need to lose a few lb so that the weight is the same when I next get on 😭

Morning.
You've all inspired me to at least want to go for a run.
Getting up and going is proving to be a problem though.

@Thewhalewhisperer In my experience, the hardest bit is getting up and putting your running kit on...

@AliceinBunnyland
Haha. I've done that and got back into bed whilst my phone charges!

@Thewhalewhisperer

Good morning all,
I am starting my fast today @3pm

Planning to go for a walk on my lunch break

@Happyhappy37 I plan to go for a walk as I need to go to the post office anyway but trying to avoid the rain.

How will your fast work? You can eat until 3pm and then you fast for a few hours?

@AliceinBunnyland yea I will eat until 3 and then nothing until tomorrow morning. So I plan to go bed about 9pm to avoid me staying up late and get tempted to eat.

@Happyhappy37 I hope that works for you. I suppose it depends when you would usually eat or find it easier not to eat. I've read a lot to say that fasting is good for you.

@Happyhappy37
How are you getting on with your fast?
Hope it's going well for you and can be a new way of eating.
You're brave fasting all evening though. It's when I'm inclined to snack more!

@Thewhalewhisperer well so far so good. Thing is I am not big on snacking, my biggest problem is eating lots of fried food and I love my carbs. I rarely ever eat chocolate, I just don't like it. I will only taste a tiny piece of it if i feel like I need a sugar rush or pick me up.

Normally I try not to eat after 7pm, but that only works when I am serious about losing weight (like for 2weeks🙈). I also don't take sugar in my tea( that must count for something)

What is your fasting schedule @Thewhalewhisperer

I just had two cookies as a great but I did resist the urge to get a takeaway and I have been out for a 4.5 mile walk and have done 15.5K steps so not too bad for a weekend... am I kidding myself?

@Happyhappy37 I'm a chocoholic and that is my downfall. I think I would be much slimmer if I didn't eat chocolate and snacks.

But I did manage to cut down my snacking at the start of lockdown so I know I can do it.

Well done you. You did well today 👏🏾👏🏾. Am here watching king Kong with the boys, they are asleep now.

Good morning all, hope all is well.
I managed to fast for 18hours and 24minutes. My aim was 16hours 😁

Well done you @Happyhappy37 I bet you feel motivated to do it again today?

I weigh exactly the same as I weighed on 6 July when I recorded my first weight on these scales. I have had slightly lower weights in that time but I'm the same down to a decimal - 10 st 2.4, though the day before that I weighed 10 st 5 and my app knows that so is showing I've lost 3lb. I'll take it tbh

I'm going to go for a run or do some body combat today - some "proper" cardio.

I'm convinced I lost weight at the start of lockdown as my face was noticeably slimmer and have put it back on but it could have been just a couple of lbs.
