    Well, I reached my first mini target of losing 10 lbs by my birthday and in fact went one better and lost 11 lbs :D

    Went to London to see DS and his GF on Saturday, then birthday treat to see Laurence Fox (yum!) in Strangers on a Train :j

    Had a nice meal both Saturday and Sunday including wine and a slice of cake made by DS's GF, but despite missing a fast day on Sunday I haven't gained any weight yet :D

    Next mini targets are to lose a further 5 lbs by mid April - based on current weight loss that should be easy peasy - then a further 7 lbs by end of May at which point I'm going to reassess the situation......my original plan was to then lose another 7 lbs but I think that may be a step too far as DH says he doesn't want me to be too skinny, lol :rotfl:

    That's great Phoebe - how long did it take to lost the 11lbs?

    I had another fast day today - really easy as we had a very late dinner yesterday. I'm finding the fast days are becoming much easier. I find it easier to resist snacking in the evening also - which has been my biggest downfall all along.

    Onward and upward, poached monktail and steamed veg today finished with a tbsp of toasted sesame oil; thin tomato soup for supper.
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    Today is a fast day for me. I have a quinoa salad for lunch and eggs of some sort later.

    I'm not really feeling it today but needs must..

    Nearly six weeks in, my waiste is shrinking a steady half an inch a week but scales are only going down 1 1/2 lb a week at most. Seems strange.

    Cardio: my sympathies. I am on a fast today and have had a rough day. I fancy unhealthy food right now.

    I'm fasting today too. Nothing but a couple of coffees so far, but I'll have my "main" meal in a couple of hours.
