Hi there, errantbehavior?

How has your week been? I hope it's been a good one, whether you've been fasting or not - and that the scales have been kind to you. Even if you're now maintaining it's important to keep an eye on your weight, as you'll see from our poll results!

With the holiday season approaching it's time to start thinking about your wish lists! Are you hoping to receive anything health or weight loss related? We'd love to hear your gift ideas for fasters! What's on your list this year?

Are you trying to get in shape?

While diet may help us lose weight and improve our health, exercise can help us to tone our bodies and improve our shape as well as our health. If fasting has inspired you to try to get in shape as well as losing weight, why not join in the Fitbit Chat topic at the forum and get support from other fasters trying to improve their fitness?

One in four fasters doesn't fast on holiday

Last week we asked about your habits when it comes to tracking your weight loss progress.

It's great to see that about half of you track you loss on a weekly or even daily basis. Well done! As is evident from the comments in response to the topic, those who stop tracking when they reach maintenance often allow the weight to creep back on. Keeping track of your weight once you've reached goal is certainly as important as tracking while you lose weight!

It's also been fantastic to see that about half of you use the tracker at FastDay and to see your suggestions for handy tracking apps. Thanks to everyone who took part in the poll! We'll bear your feedback in mind when it comes to future developments on the tracker.

Do you excerise?

It's interesting to see how many fasters have started trying to improve their health through exercise as well as fasting. Have you started excerising since losing weight? Have you always exercised? Do you love it or hate it? Let us know by voting in this week's poll!

Your favourite fasting websites

We think it's really helpful for fasters to be able to find all the fasting info and recipes they need in one convenient place, the FastDay website. Did you know we have a list of our favourite Fasting Food Websites? We're always looking for more great content we can help share with our fellow fasters, so if you know a great 5:2 recipe site or other fasting sites you think we should know about - maybe even your own? - then please drop us an email with the link.
Who knows, your site might feature in the next newsletter!
