Introduce Yourself!

Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!

If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!

Hi everyone

I've been doing alternative day fasting since October and I've lost 1st 12lbs.

I fell of the wagon big time over Christmas and didn't really get back in the swing until mid-Jan :(

We're on holiday in 3 weeks so I am trying to maximise the weight loss now before we go. I'm hoping I don't put too much weight back on over the holiday as I still have around 2.5, maybe 3st to go.

Today is a fast day and I'm taking the dog to Hampstead Heath so will get a good 1.5 - 2 hours of walking which I hope won't make me too hungry :?

I find that I have great energy for exercise on fast days. It's a great way to distract yourself from eating too!

Hi Cassie and welcome

It's good to have some more experienced fasters on board! Would be great if you could add your start and current stats to the progress tracker (and any in between if you have them) as it helps people to see the longer term results!

Where are you off on holiday?

There is a thread about how to cope with holidays...we are wondering if we should just go 7:0 ;-) or try to show some restraint and perhaps throw in a couple of fasts or miss the odd meal! Would love your thoughts!

Hi both,

carorees, we're doing a cruise, great for fasting :roll:

I'll probably do 7:0 but try to avoid eating for the sake of it and not many desserts.

I'll check out the progress tracker and the holiday thread.
