Day 1 of this adventure. I’ve got a headache but will soon be going to bed.
My eating window today was 8am-4pm. I’ve got so much to shift & hope I can keep this up. Anyone else want to join?

I reckon a big healthy meal is ideal for omad @Cashew1 !

Hello @Clearingaspace ! Nice to see you over here too 😀

I have been sticking to my fasts and am averaging 17 hours fasting a day according to my app but food has been a bit all over the place. Still two meals a day but I know I could be making better choices more consistently, so I'm too scared to weigh myself!

I'm away this weekend with work so I know there will be a lunch and a dinner provided tomorrow so I'm going to choose the healthiest items available. There just seems to be something cropping up every week! I really want to lose some more before Christmas so from next week I'm having a concerted effort and may go back to sticking to a pretty strict plan regarding meals. I find when I plan in advance what I'll be eating it does help me stick to things more.

Could be making better choices consistently pretty much sums me up @GameOfJones 😂

@Queencam we are weight twins! Yes this week I have felt as though I’m losing. Boobs a bit smaller and I can grab fabric at the sides of my trousers and waistbands are gaping. They are 12s. I have some 10s but in trousers I prefer a 12 as I have a generous bum! 😄

17 hour fast

Still haven't weighed!
Did gym again though so feeling good

Leftovers salad for lunch
Tea will be beans on toast with a load of veg and some cheese

@Cashew1 marmite on toast yum!

@greengreyblue and @Queencam well done on weighins, new low numbers and nsvs! I would love some new weightloss. I typed out the sad tale of my yo-yoing weight this year but decided no one wants to read that! I am currently re losing yet again, but at least it’s going down!

@GameOfJones so hard to lose when there are events and things happening - maintaining in the run up to Christmas is a major win!

18 hour fast last night and a slightly better weigh in this morning. Eggs and cheese for breaky, leftover chicken and veg stew for lunch and a couple of slices of sourdough. I still need to tweak my lunch as feeling so tired! I am aiming for over 24 hour fast this evening- normally Friday is my treat day but I am feeling ok with fasting at the moment so might as well make the most of it!

@greengreyblue and @Queencam lets make that weight triplets! Weighed this morning and I’m back down to 9 st 9.5. Hoping to make it to 9 st 7 by Christmas.

Love this, how tall are you all? I would love to get back to 9st 8 but it was hard to maintain at 173cm

@Clearingaspace Respect for Friday night fasting!
Ah yes @GameOfJones I knew there were more of us. Let’s do this! But I’m just having a glass of wine…….
18 hr fast
lunch: tin of tuna, mixed with yoghurt, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumber and half a small avocado.
An apple
Snack: handful of mixed nuts after work
dinner: omelette with 2 eggs and salad to offset the wine. I know!🤦🏼‍♀️

So funny about weight triplets 😁

24 hour ish fast - I think because I was finding it fairly easy I didn’t have enough water or any salt and felt a bit ropey at the end.

hope all having a lovely weekend

Today I’m wearing my smallest jeans( still a 12 but the fit is wide leg , slim fit around bum and legs) and am pulling them up constantly. Yea I’m pleased as these were a no-go in the summer but now I’m thinking I need to buy a new wardrobe!

I’m a short arse at 5ft 3.

@greengreyblue I’m the same. I have a pair of wide leg faux leather trousers that I bought last year. I wore them to work yesterday and spent the entire day pulling them up at the waist! On the other hand I have various different dresses that I haven’t been able to wear for around 5 years that I am now wearing to work. People think I’m loaded and gone and purchased a new wardrobe!

I like the sound of those. Do you rustle as you walk though? 😂

I’m short at 5”3 too!
yay for loose trousers.

I’ve got a horrible gastric bug 😷 was vomming at 3am and have been wiped out with tummy pains and back pain all day. Feel awful! Have been fasting 22 hours so far but can’t see myself eating this evening. The thought of it turns my stomach.

@Queencam feel better soon, that sounds awful.

@greengreyblue thats fab bring in a size 12 - that’s my goal I think.

Well I can be a height triplet at least - 5’3 (and 3 quarters!) .

Excuse my typos!

Oh no @Queencam gastric bugs are the worst! But silver lining is that you might just reach the target sooner.😂 Seriously, get well soon.
I’m not a height triplet, I’m 5ft 5. Now I feel tall for the first time. 😃

😂

Today I did an 18.5 hr fast
lunch: beetroot and feta salad with pumpkin seeds , a banana.
dinner: turkey steak with half a pouch of Spanish style lentils, homemade slaw. 2 glasses of white wine. Made DH chips with his and his turkey steak was in a brioche bun. I’ve realised I can’t do carbs and wine

Going out for Sunday lunch today so will be a 20 hr fast and OMAD. Not sure what I’m eating yet but looking forward to not cooking. Happy Sunday.

Had porchetta, 3 minuscule roast potatoes, a spoon of cabbage, 3 delicious roast whole carrots and a floret of broccoli. Luckily there was a decent Yorkshire pud to fill me up!2
glasses of wine.
Got home and had 2 crackers with cheese and an apple.

18 hour fast

Omad of afternoon tea at fortnum and masons! 😂

Oooh very fancy! Was it good?

It was nice and very filling despite it mostly being sandwiches, took my daughter for her birthday.

I'm back and back on track! I'm having a concerted effort before Christmas.

Gym today
Lunch - daal with some cauliflower rice
Dinner - beef casserole with plenty of veg
