The FastDay Forum

Hello everyone,

I started 2/1 in the spring of 2014 and since then have lost 22 pounds going from 149 to 127 ( size 8/10 to size 4/6) .
I am thrilled w my results. I also recently moved to Portland, Oregon and because the food and restaraunts are so amazing here, have decided to go to 3 fasts every other week to maintain my 127 weight ! I only go out about twice a week but I feel this is necessary so I can indulge when I want !!

Sounds like a plan, @Foreverslim, you will see, if your will maintain with this approach or your weight will continue to lower. Maybe two days will be enought in the end.

Well done on your weight loss - I have been maintaining since the end of June after losing 20 lbs and must say I don't really have a plan as such - just see what the scales say and taking it from there.
I would also agree with Callanthe that you may continue to lose weight but it depends on what you are eating on the other days.
The beauty of intermittent fasting is that everyone adapts to suit their lifestyle. I still prefer to do a Fast Day but others choose to eat within a certain time period. I started 5:2 primarily for the overall health benefits - and it is working!

Hello @Foreverslim welcome to the forum and congratulations on your great achievement! I also started at 149lbs and have been maintaining for 8 months, with 52 and some windows - yes, the health benefits are just brilliant. Sounds like a good plan to make it work for you. Let us know how you get on ... there is also the monthly maintainers thread ... have you been by?

Congratulations! That is a real achievment and i for one as a fellow faster am proud of you!
