Stayed the same this week, been hectic so was slack with monitoring calories so at least it's not a gain I guess! How is everyone doing? 🙂

I'm still here too! Great about the gym @sunshineandrainbow

I've lost 2lb this week after a fortnight of weird plateauing. Not complaining but I cannot understand how - I was at a wedding in London for 4 days and I ate lots and drank some wine. This seemed to kick start losing again 🤔

Well done @Sunshineandrainbow

I weighed in today to see what damage I had done and was pleasantly surprised to have not really gained so am feeling super positive now. Managed a 17 hour ‘dirty’ fast today!

Good day here, was nice to be back at work and in the routine.
Just got back from the gym which was tough but glad I went.

Anyone experiencing weight loss plateau? I lost half a stone very quickly. Now I've been teetering around the same weight for ten days or so. I'm not doing anything different and eating 1200 cals or less (usually) so definitely in calorie deficit daily. Have read plateauing is totally normal, just not sure how to get over the hump!?

@Sunshineandrainbow I'm so sorry to hear that, how awful! I hope your DC is doing as well as can be expected.

Really tough week here with sudden death of my childs friend and it has hit us like a ton of bricks. Too many sweet things have mindlessly passed my lips. But I won't give up like I have in the past.
Today will be a good day!

I am still here. I picked up an injury last week which I have been really struggling with so diet plans have gone out the window, I am just concentrating on feeling better for our week away. Still feel very positive though about getting back on plan when we are back.

hi can I join please
I have put on too much weight in lockdown and wfh.
I was 14 stone but have since lost 4 pounds.
kind of doing the fasting diet so for two days a week not consecutively I dont eat anything after 7pm until tea at 5.30 pm next day
just drink water and black coffee
only be doing it for a couple of weeks. Havent found it too bad but I'm diabetic and have pcos so weight loss very slow
I would like to get down to about 11 stone so just under 3 stone to lose
will probably take me years at this rate !!
try to eat small portions and watch what I eat on non fast days

Wow that's a long fast, you do well to manage that.
Slow and steady wins the race remember that and hopefully more likely to stay off too.

Anyone still in?

I am not fasting at weekends but still trying to make relatively healthy choices. Going well this weekend. Haven’t gained any weight - would usually gain a fair few pounds. I feel positive about the coming week but we are away for half term so trying to decide on approach so I don’t completely sabotage.

@Sunshineandrainbow i think you are still in. How goes it?

I am still in. Hope the op is okay they have not been back for a few days.

Could fasting fit in over half term?
Today has not been such a good day but I have decided from the beginning Sundays would be a bit more relaxed if I have had a good tracking week.

So as expected, I have neither lost nor gained this week. Pretty chuffed to be honest to have not gained.

I am fasting between evening meal - about 8pm - for 16 hours until I have done lunch.

I am proud I haven’t just written the week off - Monday was a tough one and then I hurt myself and have been in pain ever since. I would have typically then just given up for the week and ended up gaining.

You should be proud it is so easy to fall off the wagon after a slip up.


What's everyone's plans for today?

How is everyone doing. I have had a tough week for a number of reasons but have more or less stuck to 16:8 since Tuesday and mainly low carb. But a couple of glasses of wine thrown in. I am not expecting a loss this week but hoping to hold more or less steady when I weigh in tomorrow.

Fingers crossed you get a nice surprise.
What hours are you eating between?
All good here, managing to stick to my calories per day.

@Sunshineandraindbows I'm exactly the same, work is a great distraction! I'm at home 2 days with the kids and it's torture trying not to eat everything 😅
