10:2.8. Another tiny drop but I’ll take it.

Back up to 10:3.3. Also had a McDonalds today after a bottle of wine last night. Starting a four day fast. Always struggle getting past 72hrs

Morning all,

holidays are over and I need to get my head in the game.

11:8 today - First goal is to get to 11 Stone so need to lose 8 pound. There will be another goal after that but honestly can’t look that far ahead.

Here is to a good week.

I meant to weigh in this morning and forgot 🤦‍♀️ won’t have time tomorrow either. Work today and sleeping in too.

good luck @hollyblueivy 💕

@SnackcidentPronei feel a bit worried when you mention the long fasts… they may do more harm than good from what I have read. What about doing one meal a day instead if you want to do the longer type of fast?

Still 11:8 - I may need to do a week of soup for lunches or something drastic to drop a good 5lb quickly!
