24 days to go
Down 0.1 lb
28 g carbs
956 Cals
24 hour fast

So I managed a 24 hr fast yay! Good luck to my fs buddies entering day 3 of their 3 day fast'

Definitely fasting all day is easier at work. Yesterday the work kitchen included:
Cupcakes
Tesco finest carrot cake
Madeleine's
Choc croissants
French fancies
Doritos
Kettle chips
Good job I was fasting. I kept looking at colleagues coming out of the kitchen munching treats and repeating to myself " little pickets wear bigger knickers" 😁. This was definitely true in our office yesterday.i used to be one of the snacking army. No more.

So I fasted til dinner at 8pm.
Came downstairs when my younger daughter came home.( had been dozing on the bed)
I'd buttered and eaten the French stick before I was even properly awake. Is smelled so good. Oopsie😋😊

On the dress front, I bought some dresses to try on. Dorothy Perkins size 16 fits ! Sometimes 😉! I started at size 22 and worked my way down through the sizes 😎Have to avoid styles cut low at the sides as my boobs escape from there. None is a perfect fit yet, but there is hope!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Today's plan
ACV morning and evening
Fast min 18 hours
No French bread or bedtime snacking 😊
Another 3 hours ironing to limit " sofa sitting"

Have a happy and successful Tuesday fs friends 😁😁

I love that you have a specific event motivating you to keep going. That really helps! Keep up the great work!

That's great progress on the dress front. Ah yes, wayward boobs in dresses! Strange how no one complained when I was in my 20s but now ... 😖😂

Thanks all Phooka.. I'm the same.. probably because mine now require great feats of engineering to keep them in place now, didn't need that in my 20s 😂😂 #truth 😊😊

I'm envious re the boobs Phooka & Poppycom - but I manage lol. Don't undereat poppycom or you're body will go into starving mode and start storing all it can - make sure that post fasting calories come mainly from fat - avocados, nuts etc.

If the Humber bridge got grade 1 listing for architectural and engineering excellence, I reckon Panache should get the same (other bra manufacturers are available) #truth 😂😂😂

Was this your first 24 hours fasting?

Well done Poppy.

Good metrics - Well done on all fronts and sides as well by the sound of it.

Well done Poppy, that's an amazing achievement. I'm afraid no dress will ever fit perfectly if off the peg, but if you have a local college see if they do a fashion course - students often supplement their income/grant/loan by doing alterations or making something from scratch and it can make a simply tailored dress look extraordinary. It won't cost very much either and if it's for a special occasion will make all the difference. If you're looking for some displacement activity, I have an entire wardrobe of ironing that needs doing . . . :)

You are doing great! Bravo!! Making it a serious habit not to eat all the treats at work is a huge step. I feel sorry for my coworkers that are unable to walk by the box of treats left by someone. I pretty much consider doughnuts to be poison now.

Good idea, ST! Never thought of that. 
25 Jul 17 by member: Phooka
Ah, escapist mammaries. Sad news is, sometimes that's the last place to require less rebar. And when it finally does, that some necklines gape even more. StrangeTrout's tip about alterations is well taken, and with the right student even tee shirts worlds different. On first read, I thought that was a list of foods you'd eaten, and wondered if I'd happened upon some equally strange sounding alternative to keto.

Lovely job on the fast! :-)

Congrats!

Dunno what my dress size is, but I had to buy a new belt as the holes on my old one where all worn out and I had starting punching new holes in, and then it snapped, mind you had it about 12 years, and without it I was in a constant state of imminently showing the world the colour of undies...The new one is great and was a 42 " waist, this one is a 38" and there's plenty of room on it for new holes too...So now my jeans/trousers stay put when I am walking!!!

Hi minitata.. lol 😉 trying to avoid the cheese . Broke my fast with almonds, then had some mussels. OH has the BBQ on for some nice sirloin, then I have 🥑 fir afterwards. Trying to keep my Cals minimum 1000, they were defo too low before 😎 
25 Jul 17 by member: poppycom
Phooka.. definitely 👍😂 
25 Jul 17 by member: poppycom
Roeekats.. no. I've also previously done 27 and 37 hours. 16:8 or 18:6 is quite easy, but then I smell the food I'm preparing for everyone else 😋
