The FastDay Forum

Well done, such a great sense of achievement and knowing the few added pounds from pasta and ice cream can be lost "easily" must be a really nice feeling

I have a question, if I may - are you still doing 6:1 or just the 7:24:7?

Thanks!

Hi, Jeninboston and sorry it has taken me so long to answer. 6:1 didn't work for me, i didn't seem to be able to motivate myself and then I found I didn't need an actual fast day as the 16:8 (or 7/24/7) suited me very well and I went several pounds below my target weight, eating healthily and feeling well. December and early January have seen some heavy indulgence and I have not tried to be strict over this period but on non-socialising days I have lost some of what I have gained. As an experiment, I have decided to maintain 16:8 till the end of January and hope to be back to 1st December weight. If not, I'll pop in a couple of 5:2 weeks and next year will be a little less self-indulgent.
How are you doing?

Hey @NoraBoswell Long time no hear!!!
You've done very well indeed and 16:8 will probably work for you but as you say popping in the occasional fastday is no hardship, I've still got a long way to go as you can see I'm on the right track and watching your progress and others always helps me to keep focused many thanks .

Congratulations!! An awesome accomplishment!! You look fabulous!

And Hey to you Sue.Q. 50lbs is an amazing achievement and many congratulations on reachng your half way point. I'll follow hour progress with much interest.
