i know what you mean toni! Dreading days 20-30.. 250 squats will murder my thighs, but at least we will have buns of steel! LOL

Have woken this morning to a blinding headache ... Does anyone suffer day after a fast?

I thought the fasting was causing migraines for me as I kept getting them on fast days, now getting them even when eating normally so don't know what to suggest :\ agree with the others though - make sure you're getting enough water in you! Don't forget when you're not eating you won't get the fluids from the fruit/veg etc you would have eaten as well as whatever you normally drink


Morning everyone - looks like you're all doing well! As for the 30 day squat challenge - it's this! March 30 Day squat challenge | Young Honeys Hair and Beauty SalonYoung Honeys Hair and Beauty Salon looks scary to me

Thanks for this. I'm thinking about having a go. I recommend that anyone who wants to do it does a search on the Internet to see how to do them properly - we don't want any damaged backs! I found that searching 'how to do a squat' came up with loads of stuff including a link to a YouTube video which was very clear.

I do think 50 sounds a lot to start with, not sure my legs are up to that! We'll see anyway - my next post might be from the floor when I've fallen over! Lol

Well I survived but I seemed to be using muscles I didn't know I had! I have to confess I wasn't able to go very low though. Does this get easier?

 

[sarahmun]

Thanks everyone for reply. I thought i consumed a load of water 3 litres but maybe not enough. But thinking about it i havent been drinking diet coke as trying to cut it out maybe thats the problem.
Im gonna check out the squat challenge may have to be careful as have bad knees but gotta at least try lol.

Bit of a random question but will squats help tone the inside of my legs?
Too and outside of my thighs are fine, its the inside bit which is flabby and annoying. Anyone any tips??

What hours do people fast? I did 8am til 8am x

I try and fast from going to bed in the evening til early evening the next day when I have my 500cals in one meal then nothing til morning x

I had fast day today.
Had tea last night at 8pm
Cup a soup at 1pm today
Meal tonight at 7pm

I try not to eat for over 12 hours but I usually have something at lunch time.

 

[MissPeriPeri]

Squats defo get easier and although it hurts its a great feeling!!! Not sure how i will cope doing 250 in one go though!! Lol

 

[xrachx]

See I do 24 hrs no food just fluids, I just wanna get it off and try and keep it off til June x (go on hols)

I have my evening meal the night before then I don't eat until lunch time on fast day when I have 200-250 cals. Rest at evening meal. I'm doing it with hubby and he couldn't last without lunch. If I was doing it on my own I'd be tempted to try to last out until the evening and have one main meal.

 

[MissPeriPeri]

i do mine 6pm - 6pm (ish) give or take a couple of hours
