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!

Fast start in DC
26 Jan 2015, 18:49
Hey all, I'm Sean. I live in Washington, DC, USA.

My first fast day is today! It's going OK so far. Looking forward to finding what works for others, and gaining a network of supporters / cheerleaders ;-)

Welcome to the forums, @s34nDC! What's your plan today? Are you grazing or saving all of our calories for one or two meals?

I'm having a pot of herbal tea right now to get me through. Just a few more hours then I can have dinner with my family.

Are you going to get snow tonight?

Hi Tracieknits, I've had 250 calories today, mostly almonds. Also a cup of coffee & 3 cups of tea (!). I've been up since 7:30am... so I've made it about 7 hours. I'm feeling OK, but having trouble focusing at work (a bit dizzy / disoriented). Occasional wave of hunger, but that's manageable. I plan to eat some carrots when I get home from work, and then a very small dinner as early as I can -- my 2 boys won't go down until 7:45 or 8pm -- and after that, go to bed early.

Sound doable?
