I kept within 17:7 but GF rolls with veggie sausages plus rainbow birthday cake took me way past preferred calorie intake :0@
On the other hand, our eldest granddaughter will only turn 16 once :0)
Good times with lovely family are to be savoured :0D

I've been doing 5:2 off and on for a couple of years, more off than on, but when I'm on I get good results, better than with any weight control method I've ever tried. Seems I'm off now and can't get back on though. I was interested in what Azure Blue and Candice Marie and Righton said about the nibbling -- that's me, and it's an evening thing. If it's a fast day and I do great til my evening meal, planned out at 500 calories, I find that I'm sitting around three hours later still nibbling - pigging out might be a better term - on anything I can find.
I'm wondering about trying a 16:8 where my window closes at about 2 or 3 pm, depending on when I have breakfast, and begin my fasting then. I think nothing is easier than a little something for me.
Thought I'd work on it for this week and not have a fast day at all. Just spiff up my self-discipline a bit.
And then maybe my fast day needs to be a zero calorie 24-hr fast.
I live alone and don't have to cook for a family, so I'm fortunate in that I can just stay out of the kitchen entirely if I want.
Wonder if anyone else has used the window to successfully control the impulse to keep on eating?

But I wake up hungry and am used to a big breakfast, probably my biggest actual meal of the day. And I wake up around 5 am, so by 6 or 7 at the latest I'm pretty focused on eating!
I actually feel pretty excited to be experimenting a little and taking it slowly til I find what works for me.
