Bril keep up the excellent work
😎😎😎

Hi
Planning is key to success of this eating plan I have found. An excellent app to use is myfitnesspal, counts everything, communicates with others, so getting tips, also has a scan meter top right of search bar to scan foods exactly. The recipes in the books are an excellent guide, but for precision , I calculate it all myself on this app as the counts of the recipes are sometimes way of . The no carb Bircher for example actually has 38 carbs, so be warned, it would be okay at first I am sure, but after time your weight loss would slow down as you wouldn’t be following 800 cals and 50 or below carbs. Keep up the excellent work, download the app as it will make life very simple, and keep letting us know how you are doing.
Just imagine when you next get on a plane to see your lovel son, you I’ll have so much more space in your plane seat.🛬✈️🛫

@captainlynne

It’s quite impressive what you have accomplished. Wow 31 weeks of 800 calories a day. I read Dr. Mosley recommended switching to 5:2 after 8 weeks, why I am not sure. (I wonder if he thinks it might somehow be detrimental going on such a low calorie diet for much longer than 8 weeks.. wasn’t made clear.)

So you’ve lost 78 pounds that’s amazing. How much did you start at? I started at 422 on May 9th, I am 379 now. Have you experienced any muscle loss at all?

I know I could easily do 18:6 intermittent fasting eating those 800 calories in a 6 hour window. I’ve been doing that with the 1600 calories LCHF and often it’s hard to remember to eat those extra 800 calories for dinner before 8pm. If I tigthen the window to 1 or 2 hours, then I get less hungry and could easily do 800 I am sure.

I like the idea of eating only 800 calories a day because I can incorporate some more healthy carbs into my diet without affecting my blood sugar much due to the very low calorie nature. So I might be able to eat 1/4 cup of oats or 1/4 cup of lentils form time to time etc. I like the use of omega 3 rich fatty fish and lots of olive oil. Mediterranean diet sounds really healthy. I just want to try out all the recipes in the book looking at them.

Well done Starcyl. It sounds like you did really well and the scales are finally reflecting the hard work you’ve put in. I’m off on my hols on Monday so there will be no week 4 result from me. I do have wifi where I am going so I may be able to check in, but no scales.

Thank you kindly Eps! I know, it paid off, didn’t it? I’ve also been on this morning, waiting for everyone else to have a shower, so I’ve already done 2577 steps today before I’ve left the house 🙂 That’s the gauntlet thrown down to you Eps, I’m going to get my 10,000 today 😉 Are you in?

Sorry, I’m not vegetarian, so when I ate at Heathrow I had a cooked breakfast – no hash brown or toast.

On my way from Kings Cross to Heathrow I checked all the food outlets and finally bought a salad at Pret to eat at my hotel. Back at Kings Cross after my holiday in Italy I ate at the Italian restaurant on the station, ordering the steak salad.

Can I just add that it’s not only what is available, it’s also portion sizes. A few days ago I went out early, planning my usual ‘eat out’ small breakfast. But where I went is closing today and was opening later than usual that day. So I went opposite, to Patisserie Valerie 😱

I ordered their cooked breakfast (no toast) and coffee. When it came, I wished I had my twin 8.5 year old granddaughters with me. That meal would have comfortably fed the three of us😱 Far too much on the plate went back, I just could not eat it.

I’ve found recently how many hotels/restaurants serve huge portions. Not good for us, or for their profits.

Brilliant Lucky! That is so much to lose in one week, so delighted for you. All that hard walking in the sweat box👏😂😂😂😘💪🏽💪🏽

Hi Jennifer

Each of us finds the way that suits us. I’ve just completed 31 weeks on 800 calories, very low carb, losing 78 pounds so far – still more to lose.

What I’ve found is that eating low carb has meant I no longer want/need to snack. I eat breakfast, then my evening meal as I’m not hungry inbetween. The protein and full fat products really fill me up.

It’s surprising how much food you can get for 800 calories when we cut out the carbs and processed foods.

The other thing I’ve done is to stop drinking diet fizzy drinks. Now I still drink black coffee, but otherwise it’s water (fizzy, or still with sliced of lemon and lime).

I was type 2 diabetic (diet controlled) but now my blood sugars are right down in the normal range.

I think my suggestion would be to follow the plan as in the book and see how it goes. After a few weeks, if you wanted to, you could change from eating 3 meals a day, to 2 meals. I know one meal a day would not work for me, I’m happy with 2. Personally I’ve not needed to snack, but that’s just me. As I said, we’re all different and find our own way of doing this.

Jump in, you’ll know from reading the posts that it works. And record everything.

Let us know your progress.

Well I went to the do and had a few drinks, since starting this I can’t drink as much so feel a little delicate this morning! It was a good night and I did really well at the buffet, I ignored the sandwiches and had a couple of very small chicken skewers, a couple of cherry tomatoes with mozzarella balls on sticks and some peppers and cucumber sticks with hummus so feeling quite pleased with myself.

We were on a boat, we were sat downstairs and the food was upstairs so when the desserts came out I didn’t go up to see what there was so no temptation to eat anything I shouldn’t, only a small victory but I feel like I am proving to myself that I can be in control and an added bonus is when I got on the scale this morning another couple of kilo had shifted so I’m now 7.6 down.

Still a long way to go but this is the one time I can visualise myself doing this for the long term.

Hi JenniferG

Welcome onboard and congratulations on the great progress so far, you must be feeling really proud – and justifiably so. Wonderful that you are already off your meds and seeing real health improvement.

I’m not aware of anyone doing the Fast 800, who is just eating one meal of 800cals a day, although though there might be and I have missed their posts. Quite a lot of people do two meals a day – a brunch late morning and then an early evening meal and are not seeing any detriment by using this eating pattern. Personally, I would have thought this would be a better way of doing the 800 with the least meals, rather than just one meal a day, but I’m not an expert.

Hopefully someone will be able to give you a definitive answer regarding eating just one meal a day on the Fast 800. Meanwhile, hope we will be hearing how you progress and will be reading more great results from you soon.

Another 2 pounds gone. Total disappeared now 78 pounds. Weight now 10 stone 6 pounds.

Thanks for posting the ice cream info. My daughter works in our local H & B, so I’m hoping to get some there next week. The Salted Caramel sounds yummy!

Just checking in here to say it looks like I want to lose between 8 and 14 pounds to reach target. It depends on how I feel about it as I reach 9 stone 12 pounds. I quite like the idea of my weight starting with a 9 😃

As the medics have decided my height gas shrunk by an inch, my BMI has changed and it’s now 9 stone 6 pounds from 9 stone 11 pounds 😱 But there are so many variations, depending on which site you visit, I’ll go with how I feel/look.

But when I get there (wherever that is) I know it will take a few weeks to stabilise anyway, so could still lose a few more pounds anyway.

Ay Caramba – you asked about eating Mediterranean style, still avoiding carbs. All I can say is that’s what I have tried to do when away from home. After a residential conference I stayed the same, after 10 days in Italy I’d lost 2 pounds. So I think that Mediterranean style, low carb is, possibly, enough. But I also watched portion sizes (one of my downfalls in the past)

Hi carrierman

Firstly, welcome to the BSD and the forum. Great to have someone else onboard and revolutionising both their eating and their lives. You seem to be very focused and determined and wonderful to see you are already seeing such positive results.

Like you, I weigh everything and where there is no package nutritional advise, I use online website http://www.calorieking.com to find a calorie and carb figure – you can adjust the result to be a 100g value. If they don’t have the item (it’s an American site and doesn’t have everything we eat in the UK), I will try doing an online search for the nutritional values of the item concerned and haven’t had a fail yet, there is always somewhere offering the info.

I am currently tettering on the brink of dropping from overweight into the healthy BMI band, but it seems to be rather illusive right now, but with the BSD I find it’s easy to stick with it and I’m confident it will all happen, if not as quickly as I would hope.

Keep us all posted on your progress. Make the most of the forum and do shout if you hit a problem, there is great support on here.

Thanks for the replies 🙂

End of week 31 and another 2 pounds has disappeared, making a total of 78 pounds 😃 Weight now 10 stone 6 pounds (down from 16 stone).

Getting close to my (as yet undecided) target. Possibly another 8 pounds, possibly a few more. But I’m reviewing it week by week.

I’ve just been checking some sites for ideal weights and most of them are just unrealistic. The lowest I ever reached was 8 stone 7 pounds – I’d been ill, and it showed😱. My face looked really gaunt (or drawn, or haggard) – not good. But the body was fine – never worn a UK size 8 before or since! But some sites are saying I could/should go even lower than that! Errr … no!

So I’ll keep on going week by week until I decide I’m where I want to be, where I feel comfortable.

So – I’ll check in here next week. Then – drum roll please – I’ll open the new clubhouse. The ‘over the 32 week’ clubhouse 😃 Please don’t forget that the target weight clubhouse is also open 😃

Love that attitude Janey! Hope the cake tastes as amazing as it looks! I think it should be ok, don’t relish the thought of hot salad *gag*. Will leave it to the very last minute to assemble. Baps are nearly done, well they would be, the sods are wafer thin. Baps my ar*e. Hope you get suitably spoiled today 🙂

Virtual friend???? But Tokyo, I’m alive. See? And… and I’m… I’m real. I’m a real woman! Sorry, had to pinch a bit of Pinocchio there 😉

And you Tokyo, for one – it isn’t Friday any more! Yayyyyy! For that reason alone, today will be fantastic 😀

Had a family meal at Heathrow airport yesterday and daughter chose Cafe Rouge. They do lots of good (as in low-carb, healthy) meals. As I am on Fast 800 I chose the Vegetarian Breakfast – Choice of scrambled/fried eggs, plus 1/2 avocado, spinach, muchrooms, grilled tomato, small pot of baked beans and slice of sourdough toast with small butter pat (I gave away the beans and the toast/butter) They also do Nicoise salad etc.

Half an inch off one of my calves, the offending calf isn’t budging though… 1/2 and 3/4 inch off my thighs…1.5 inches off my hips and waist each 😀

GO JANEY its your birthday !!😎😎

and way to go lucky woo hoo !!!!😀😀

enjoy your day both of you huge hugs for my new virtual pals 😍😍

Good morning everyone! Happy birthday to me – thanks for all your lovely wishes. There will be (legal) cake and celebrations later, here on the sunny Isle of Wight 🎉🍰. Feel a bit ‘stodgy’ as had to give in to a bit of white rice with my dinner last night.. Although did at least limit how much! I know it’s OK to relax the BSD a bit today but I’m not sure I want to! We will see what food is on offer and choose wisely later 👍🏼

Hope everybody enjoys their Saturdays in the sunshine. Lucky – leave your food on the car parcel shelf to defrost!!!

morning all 🙂 after watching game of thrones last night my husband needed bed early as he is in early shifts just now so I headed up to my den.

I did a little work on a coaster I’m attempting for a friend (my bestie) she has a thing about unicorns with wings which you don’t often see, it’s usually one or the other. Not sure if I can pull it off but I will try. I was also following this tutorial…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jPSyuQqWis

which is coming along nicely and hatching other plans for things to make.

I’m not feeling great today but I think it is just my hayfever- sometimes I wake up mucusy and feeling bunged up and often slightly nauseus but it usually clears and I’m hopeful. I’ve had a herbal tea and I’ve made a strawberry almond milk shake which I am drinking as I type. My hayfever hasn’t been as bad this year as it sometimes is so I am grateful.

Lunch will be courgetti and beans (left overs from last night) Dinner will be chilli.

I might do some baking if I feel better soon too. I’ll make some more nut brittle and maybe something else as well. I’m visiting my parents tomorrow as in the coming week it is my Dad’s birthday and their wedding anniversary. I’d love to bring something yummy and low carb (my Dad and sister are both type 2 and my Mum had some higher BS readings in a recent test so is probably pre-diabetic)

Hmmm… off to browse recipes!

Thanks Izzy. Yes full fat was greek style from Aldi. Quite yummy too.
I think small goals will help me focus as well.
I am obsessing on food /menus at the moment but am sure others do at the beginning too

Day 6. 15 St 0.5 lbs BMI 30.7. Loss = Exactly 7 lbs

Very pleased with myself as was away Thursday night and Friday day seeing off my son who has emigrated to Seattle. Family lunch at Heathrow airport – settled on Cafe Rouge Vegetarian Breakfast with scrambled eggs, 1/2 Avocado, spinach, mushrooms, tomato (gave away the separate pot of baked beans and the sourdough toast with butter pat to as ever hungry son).
This morning, looking at my weight spreadsheet, I have entered various “target weights of significance” against future dates. I am excited that I am now approaching two such weights – weighing under 15 stones (210 lbs) and a BMI of under 30. The latter is very significant because of the change in medical classification of my body down from “Obese” to “Overweight”

greenjanet thank you for your post and support. I have been reading of your journey and it is fantastic! – Well Done!

On a general note, I am generally using menu items from the BSD book which states calories per meal (OK so far) and use a small resetting scales to weigh foods going onto my plate to calculate the calories against what it says on the packaging per 100 g etc. but have difficulty with carbs other than those stated on packges. Does anyone know of an easy carbs reference? How do others do their calcs?

Page 62, paragraph 1. Is it possible he’s eating more than you think he is? Maybe snacks at work? etc..?

Izzy, how are you 🙂 I’ve certainly had worse weeks 😉 Thank you, I will, if this food defrosts… lol

oooh I wonder if my local co op will have it. I will look!

Yay for a successful week! Hope you enjoy your trip 🙂

Happy Birthday Janey!

I am going to calculate the macronutrient info for each recipe in the book, or has this already been done? If it hasn’t I’ll put it all in one document and share. It would have been useful I think if the book included that already. e.g. total grams of carbs, net grams of carbs, protein grams and fat grams.

my son says he will build us a space ship 🙂

Mind you he thought he saw one when we were out yesterday and it was just an electricity pylon!

Don’t worry too much about the extra calories, it sounds like your carbs would still have been lower than before and we all have glitches.

Right then, chickpea munchers! Another small weight loss today takes the total lost in week 6 to… 5lbs off! That makes a grand total of 30lbs in 6 weeks! Scales are now at 15 stone 7lbs, but I will continue weighing in kg throughout the week as that led to fewer hissy fits and RADA moments from yours truly! I’ve said it before and I will say it again, there is no way I’d have lost 5lbs on any other plan, 6 weeks in, after already losing such a large amount of weight. For me, this week, the walking has been key. That’s what has made the difference. Today, the plan is to walk around the perimeter of the rugby pitch a few times to get my step count up.

Well, I am unprepared for my trip to Chester, I forgot to take the chicken strips and Helmsley baps out of the freezer, so they are on my kitchen worktops defrosting now, as are two of my original bakes, the blueberry almond muffins, five of us need showers before we go (in under 3 hours), everyone else is still asleep and I can’t feel my legs. But I’m 5lbs down so… yayyyy! Finish my coffee, go up and wake hubby up excitedly, get him to take my measurements which will hopefully be better than last week’s GAIN on almost every body part… and then jump in shower. My jeans feel even baggier today 😀

Hi welcome to the BSD, you are quite right to just jump in there never is a right time! Don’t worry about the amount you have to lose I set small targets (7lb’s at a time) Just remember that every 1lb you lose is a step forwards and nearer your ultimate goal, and every 1lb lost improves your health too. We’re not waiting for the finish line to enjoy life here at BSD, we’re learning to embrace the journey and enjoy it as we go. Many of us – myself included generally feel better after a short while on the diet, increased energy and well being well before the finish line. Don’t be discouraged if your losses are not as fast as some we are all different, I’m a slower loser myself but we will all get there.

Hope you liked the smoothie and remember anything with yoghurt should be full fat 🙂

My son is snuggly
I painted a little last night
I put these stickers on my car (I have a blue vw beetle and my sticker is red) and I got a set for my Mother in Law.

Good morning fellow BSD’s…
I was going to wait until my birthday is out of the way next week before fully indulging in the BSD but my FBS this morning along with an increase of 3 pounds in weight has spurred me on to start TODAY and stop procrastinating as there will always be a reason I can t start..iykwim

So, am here and goodness me I am setting myself mini goals as with over 6 stones to shift in all, I will be putting too much stress on self to think that far ahead. In addition the medicines am on are apparently known to add weight on so am def not in a happy camp.

Been reading lots of the posts on here and there are so many inspiring people who have successfully applied the principles of the diet and losing fabulous amounts which in turn, encourage those of us just starting out, so Thank you to all of you.

My vitals today are:

FBS: 9.1
Weight 13:13

Breakfast: Raspberry Smoothie – from recipe section on here

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I’m new here — this is my first post. I just bought Dr. Mosley’s book the other day and read it in its entirety in one day (excluding the recipe section). I very much enjoyed reading about the science behind it (along with other authors like Taubes, Fung, Westman, Phinney, Volek, etc.). I enjoyed reading all the success stories. I was also enlightened how type 2 diabetes affects those that otherwise don’t really appear to be obese (different from me as I was 422 pounds — 30 stone — two months ago). I love the idea of the LCHF Mediterranean diet as it ha been shown to reduce chances of cardiovascular problems compared to low fat diet. (LCHF alone doesn’t appear to show any reduction in cardiovascular disease compared to low fat.)

Let me introduce myself, telling you guys a little bit about me. I’ve been morbidly obese since 10 years old and I was a fat baby and obese all my childhood. I was born in the womb of a diabetic mother of 26, who now has Type 2 diabetes as bad as I do. I’ve always struggled with my weight on the low fat hi carb diet. It never worked. And now I know why after reading Taubes, Fung, Westman, etc.. books, along with this book.

For the past 4 years I have had very uncontrolled blood sugars with resulting A1C of 9 to 11. I injected 120 units a day at one point and was on Metformin.

Anyways, the past 2 months I’ve turned things around. I am no longer on any meds and I have a projected A1C of 5.8. I plan on this getting better as time passes.. it’s understandable since I still have like 200 pounds (14 stone) to lose. The first month I did 2400 calories a day LCHF (not Mediterranean) grazing diet, getting my insulin injections down to 40 units a day. Lost some weight on it. Then I changed the past month to Dr. Fung’s 18:6 intermittent fast combined with the same LCHF at 1600 calories a day, eliminating both insulin and all oral diabetes meds. Did very well on this and lost even more weight and didn’t feel hungry on it.

I’ve lost over 40 pounds (3 stone), normalized my blood sugars, dropped all meds and no have half the feeling back in my limbs.

Now I want to try Dr. Mosley’s Mediterranean diet, 800 calories a day. I feel I will have a very hard time spreading these calories out over the day. I seem to do much better with the 18 hour fast each day. And if I eat only 800 calories per day, then it will be in a one hour window, with 23 hour fasting.

I am wondering is it okay to do this? To eat the Fast 800 on a 23:1 schedule.. aka “Fast 800 23:1”. For 8 weeks straight? I feel I could really succeed on this diet if I could do that. I am on no medications that will cause hypoglycemia or hypotension–and of course I’ll get my doctors seal of approval (fortunately I have a competent doctor that’s open). And I drink salty homemade broth from animals bones during the fasting hours, along with plenty of water (some coffee and tea).

I read in The New Atkins for the New You, that it is recommended to have some protein all three meals per day, to avoid breakdown of muscle. But isn’t it okay because I’ll be getting the protein in that one hour window and it will rebuild itself back up? Dr. Fung seems to think that fasting won’t mess with muscle mass: https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/fasting-and-muscle-mass-fasting-part-14/

So what do you guys think? Looking for some advice. I really enjoy the fasting because then I don’t have to worry about prepping food three times per day, and it eliminates the hunger. If I eat three meals a day and do snacking it keeps the insulin levels up a bit higher and makes me get hungry to where I want to graze.

Again, I’d like to do the Fast 800 in 23:1 for 8 weeks, if that’s safe.

Janey! I’m using my iPad so I can give you 🍰 and 🍷🍾 and a new 👗 (Virtual) for your birthday. I hope the weather is ☀️. Happy happy birthday! Weigh loss news shall follow… 😇

From a fellow veggie Orchid, brilliant results, over 3 stone gone!

Hi Igorasusal/

Atkins starts of at pretty much zero carbs, or as near to zero that you can get, then slowly introduces them into the diet again. How much weight are you looking to lose?
I m aiming for the 15% that MM mentions, (have my doubts as to whether I can do it) though after week 2 weigh in I am a third of the way there. Have upped my exercise a good bit. Problem is, that being a diabetic in control I have been low carbing enough to keep my HbA1c in normal levels since diagnosis, and maybe the FAST diet won’t be that much of a shock to my system to encourage it to burn my inner fat off. Having said that I did lose over a stone on the 5:2 diet last year, so maybe ………….. (fingers and toes crossed emoticon(

Hope your last pound goes quickly! Then just a matter of maintenance.

That’s good news robin_dj, cause using an inaccurate BG monitor is probably worse than using none at all.

So you have diabetes or prediabetes? Just wondered what your motivation was for embarking on The Blood Sugar Diet. Cause if you don’t have diabetes you won’t have to test so much as your body will have proper insulin responses to food intake. Of course if you are eating very very few carbs, even if you are diabetic your BGs won’t budge much with food intake.

And there goes the first stone – absolutely brilliant Middleage1. first milestone reached.

(sound of low cal champagne corks popping)

Happy Birthday Janey!!💋💐💐💐💐🌺🌻🌼🌷🌹☀️☀️☀️

Week 2
Day 6

Diet starting weight: 18 Stone 6 Pound
BMI: 28.1
Weight: 17 Stone 6 Pound (110.68Kg)

HI Jan, how fantastic is your progress. I have not been on the forums due to the holidays and am just puddling along… I have decided that I need to write and actually weigh my food as the other day whilst making my omelette I decided to see just what I thought 20 gms of grated cheese looked like!!! I was actually shocked and know understand where some of my issues lie,… So the intention this week is to actually count the calories as opposed to I think this is ok…..I suspect my weight loss may go in the right direction if I do!!!

Hello Magnum Ice Cream Eater:

You just rewarded yourself. Good for you. I did the same this morning munching 3 ounces of swiss cheese. Shouldn’t have eaten it, but had to go to the first day of races. Saratoga Raceway (3 hours north of NYC) had opening day. It is a tradition in my family to go to opening day.

It is my 3rd day today. You do the next day; I shall do the same. Keep it up.

Since you are Irish:

How do I make stuffed cabbage if I do not use white rice? Trying to think of a way to make it. I have not had that in a while. Tomorrow I might do pancakes since I have not had them niether in a while. Almond flour of course.

My personal KRYPTONITE is milk and cheese or anything dairy. Oh yeh, NYC’s Junior’s Cheesecake! Think of it as NYC’s St. John’s Custard Donut! Crab donuts too I ate in London.

I am making myself hungry now! 🙁

Need to watch an Arsenal game to get my mind off food! LOL Also Chelsea!

Cheers,

Daniel

Hey Quinnt!

Doctor Oz, a TV show in US, just spoke on Fatty Liver Disease! Here it is to read it:

http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/are-you-one-80-million-americans-fatty-liver-what-do-now?video_id=5031171227001

They said 1 in 3 have the disease and do not know it., It also goes for the Pancreas! CUT THE SUGAR!

Basically, KEEP IT UP!

Who you gonna call?

FAT BUSTERS!

Cheers,

Daniel

Thanks sunshine! See? We all out to make each other live long and prosper.

Any help needed? Give a call!

Who you gonna call?

FAT BUSTERS!

Sante, (French for Cheers)

Daniel

Maybe I should save a few calories myself for late night snacking. I do get the urges also.

YAY! Saratoga Raceway Opening day was today! So much fun. Sucks having to munch on diet food when all were barbecuing burgers and eating cheesecakes. LOL

Wish you all good luck on your munchies this weekend!

DAY 3
Friday 22 july

Damn it today! grabbed 3 ounce of swiss chesse (300 calories) early in the morning to much on. Yet, I took some healthy snacks to munch on at the Saratoga Raceway. They had 200 extra picnic tables today….YAY! It is so challenging getting a table to sit at on the opening day.

BreakFast: Broke the 16 hour fast

3 ounce of Swiss Cheese

Lunch
Can of Tuna
baby carrots and hummus
handful of sunflower seeds
1 apple
1 peach

Dinner

Leftover from night before Chinese Food
1 Chicken Breast

Damn I must have done 1000 calories today instead of 800. Practice makes perfect.

Did my daily 20 minute walking.

There is always tomorrow. Sunday is misery: The Fast Of Tammuz, when Jerusalem was sieged by the Romans in 69 AD. Wish they did it in winter when days are shorter! LOL

Here comes the landing of the 2 space ships in Close Encounter Of The Third Kind! Got to go and watch the movie that made the idea image of what an alien looks like. Speilberg’s imagination!

See you on Mars one day!

Thanks Imogen for the welcome and well done on your success so far!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for more info on bsd beyond 8 weeks! X

Hi Yowser49

Welcome to the BSD

Yes, there are a few veterans who have remained on the BSD800 well past the 8 weeks!! Check out the threads for ‘over the 8, 16, and 23? week line’.

As I have a lot of weight to lose, I intend to continue until I have returned to a healthy weight. Currently on week 14 (i think – lost count😕) and it is beginning to feel like a way of life.

Glad you are finding it easy. I am sure you will make lots of new BSD buddies…this gang are so friendly!

Imogen🌻
