Hi everyone
I am so glad to find an online fasting forum! My name is Ijeoma and I live in Houston Texas! USA. I was borderline diabetic and hypertensive and about 60 pounds overweight which is about 27.2kg overweight. I started 20:4 fasting 3 weeks ago and lost 4 pounds the first week without exercise but added exercise the next week because I have always exercised but started gaining now I am back to where i started. I am looking for flexibility in terms of trying different protocols and would love to learn from all you lovely ladies!

Welcome Ijeoma @omalichand :smile:

There is lots to learn from this site and forum! Do delve into the the "learn" section and also read (and contribute to) all discussion topics of interest - the eating windows tent will be particularly relevant for you. And it is not too late to join the latest accountabuddies challenge.

Best wishes and good luck. :clover:

Goal reached December 2013, weight loss strategy 5:2, weight management strategy is eating a wide range of (mainly) whole foods but am back to following 5:2 for a while. Main eating challenge is the evening munchies! :razz:

Hello and welcome! I'm from the U.S as well. I live in CT!

Sometimes your body will retain water when exercising. But, it will get better, so just keep everything up and hopefully the weight will come off. Make sure you aren't eating more to compensate for the exercise!
