Hello @Song of the Bride and well done for finding your way back to a method of IF that you know to suit you so well.

Take a good poke around the threads and tents that might interest you as they may provide amusement or food for thought for ideas that might suit you now or in the future. If you have any questions, do speak up as there's a good body of experienced fasters here who may well be able to answer your question or to sign-post you somewhere useful.

I am 16:8 too with low carb, below 100g a day, though below 75g makes for certain weight loss. Look to lose around 2lbs a week initially, no rush is there :0)
Good luck

Very best wishes to you! You sound motivated, and will find lots of info and support here. There are quite a number who follow 16:8, there is an eating windows tent if you are interested. Ballerina is well experienced in 16:8, but there are now many others who find this works well for them. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hello everyone im back. completed 24 hr. fast day tonight!!! 2014-2015 was a rough year with death in my family. could not fast, but im eating clean food now days and decided i wanted to fast again!!! so here goes. gonna do one day a week for now

Welcome back, @Song of the Bride. We've had a number of returnees since the new year so you're not alone! Starting with one fast a week sounds sensible. Does that mean that you are only doing 16:8 one day a week? If, so it won't impact much on your weight loss. Maybe you meant that you are doing 16:8 every day, except for one 'proper' fast day with greatly restricted calories? That would, of course, have a much greater impact.
Anyway, whatever you are doing must be better than overeating on rubbish food, so just keep on keeping on!
