I had heard about this new WOE a few weeks ago. I bought the book on Thursday, read it on Friday, thought about it on Saturday and got up this morning and decided to continue with the fast from the night before.

Today has been fine. I started to get a bit of a headache this morning, so I drank a couple of glasses of water and it went away. I had my last meal at 11:30 last night and went until 7:00 tonight when I had soup and a bagel totaling 438 calories. I've felt some hunger but it's been manageable.

I don't plan on counting calories on feast days as that was what attracted me to this WOE along with the possible health benefits from fasting.I'm hoping to feel less hungry on feast days as a natural affect of fasting 2 days per week.

Excellent forum btw. Thanks for having me. :oops:

You seem to have made a brilliant start and done everything right! I hope that this WOE works out well for you, as it is doing for my husband and me.

This forum is a great place to find information and support and report progress so keep in touch!

Maintaining at 147 pounds (in theory)!

The 2017 Christmas Challenge is gone but my aims remain the same! They are:-
1. Remain on track to get back to my target weight of 147 pounds
2. Get at least twenty minutes of walking, on at least five days per week
3. Allow myself only one 'sweet treat' on non-fasting days.
4. Cook dinner 'from scratch' at least five days per week

Hi Janet, I agree. I'm not counting calories on my feed days either. That defeats the whole purpose of this way of eating and just turns it into another diet. If my weight loss ever stalls, I'll find ways to tweak what I'm doing, but I'll never count calories again. Doing it two days a week is enough!

Hi everyone, I'm new to fasting and have been researching the past few days on the diet. Can't wait to start seeing some results! Any tips or advice anyone can give me? My first fast day will be on Tuesday :smile:
