Update on Mixing it Up

Hello fasting and furious comrades!

Just popped over from NHS weigh in day to tell you I’m feeling the ‘fasting and fabulous’ effect.

Weigh in has brought me 4 pounds down this week, 4 days of OMAD and 3 of 16:8 have kick started the loss and got me back to one stone down from starting place in Feb.

Very happy.

I’m off to Greece for almost a fortnight next Sunday so I’m going to continue with a mixed plan this week and try to stick to my LCHF and IF plan while away but will allow occasional treats, as that is important to me on holiday!

Hey RedUnicorn this is great news that you're feeling fasting and fabulous, so keep it up as varied IF timing obviously works for you.

You deserve to feel happy and you'll enjoy Greece even more because of your new found vitality. 😎

Hi, RedUnicorn

If you know you can lose weight, and how to lose weight... you do not need to worry tooo much about putting on a few pounds on holiday?

You look good in the picture - are you going to tell us how long ago it was?

Haha! I’m safely into my mid 40s - will have to call it late 40s in September when I turn 47... at the age now when hormones and looming menopause will cause ructions!

I have had other medical issues in the past which means I can put on weight easily ( used to have under active thyroid) so if I let loose I’ll undo all the good work!!

I think that, having a grey beard, I, personally, do not need to worry about the menopause.

My first wife was about your age when she ran off with another man, and my late wife was post-m when I met her - so I have no relevent experience.
