All welcome!

Supportive thread for setting goals including self care and fasting, and chat in between.

Congrats on winning your race @StealthilyEmbraceTheSilkyBeans ! Yes I had the craziest dream too last night... I'm looking forward to sleeping well again.

I wasn't the one who asked about your DIY FMD diet but I'll be fascinated to read it... I've got one more official kit left (bought hugely reduced) and am then going to DIY it too....

I love your comments on walking backwards - it does now feel totally natural to me. But tis true I avoid doing it if too many others around ... I hesitate to look quite that strange, but dont mind people seeing me from afar! Perhaps I need to get over that... interesting new experiment... I will try in the park tonight... It's been so full with the gorgeous weather!

Definitely interested to see what your fmd plans @StealthilyEmbraceTheSilkyBeans well done on 3 day fast!

@loveyouradvice i have actually seen a few people running backwards briefly at the park. Somehow I find this less interesting than people doing giant lunging walks towards me or running without a T-shirt!

Loving that @Clearingaspace - I do find those giant lunges a bit intimidating, but am tempted to try them one day. My physio thinks they are brilliant...

Meanwhile I've set up another thread to be ready for tomorrow morning...Countdown to JUNE

And happy to finish chats here too!

@StealthilyEmbraceTheSilkyBeans You must be about to complete Day 4 of your FMD - Huge congrats, just one more day to go. I'm so looking forward to hear how you feel once you've finished and whether your body is telling you it's benefitted - and of course, how much you lost!

loveyouradvice · 30/04/2025 16:24

Phew!!

Clearingaspace · 30/04/2025 17:59

Thanks for setting that up @loveyouradvice - yes you should definitely go for it with intimidating lunges! I am jealous because I am terrible at lunges - they are a major weakness for me!

loveyouradvice · 30/04/2025 18:58

I'm terrible at lunges too @Clearingaspace - I'll probably fall over!!

Why are they so flippin hard!!

I am hungry …., thibk it’s partly because I have gone a bit over in carbs and under in protein. 3 pieces of fancy filled pasta sent my carbs crazy!
