The FastDay Forum

Including the couple of pounds I lost before I started this WOL, as of my weigh in this morning, since 7th January, I have lost 1 & 1/2 stone and my weight now starts with 13 stone for the first time in many years.
I started fasting on 24th January and have done 4:3 for the majority of the time, since then. I don't think I've ever lost weight so consistently before.

What a lovely number 13 is (says TML13, LOL)!!!
Congratulations on both your milestones, here's to many more to come!

Chris P, you started on the same day as me! Congratulations on the fantastic weight loss!!!

It's interesting that you've done mostly 4:3 as you've lost more weight than me (I've lost a stone to date). I do 5:2, but since about mid February I do water fasts (no food for 36-40 hours twice a week). I like doing the water only fasts as I found eating made me hungry. Do you have a 500 cal meal on your fast days?

Hi Redhead - haven't we both done well! On my fast days, I split my meals between lunch (around 2pm) and then a meal when my OH gets home around 7.15pm. I haven't been able to manage the one meal in the evening, because I just get too hungry. I certainly couldn't do what you're doing with fasting all day!

I suppose the great thing about this is the flexibility! Most people think water fasts sound tough, but it's easier for me not to eat as that way I don't wake the Biscuit Monster that lives inside me!! Great that its working for you - I intend to move to a one day per week with 500 cals when I reach my target weight, hopefully the Biscuit Monster will have died off by then!!!
