The FastDay Forum

Hello fellow fasters,
I'm looking forward to this journey. I've decided to start it with the 16/8 fasting window. I may change to 5/2 later or some other form of fasting for variety, but for now I'll stick with 16/8.

my start weight was 185
current weight 183 (2/27/2015
So far I'll just be doing low carb in order to get me into my window. So I'll chat with you tomorrow......

All the best. I do 5:2 as this suits me best, but lots of people here like an eating window.

31/2 hour away from a finishing a 17 hour window. This will make day two. Yes I will make it, but I want to eat NOW! But I will wait.

hang in there, @righton; you can do it!

Keep going! The first time is the hardest, because you don't know what to expect.

Good luck!! Some people have had good success doing 16:8 for six or seven days a week. I hope you're one of them

Well yesterday I did make it through for 17 hours of fasting, but then I ate way past my window. The good part was I didn't eat bad stuff, although I ate high fat. So I decided to take that time I last ate and I will attempt to wait for 17 hours again, and hope to stay in a 7 hour eating window. This is actually nice to do this in this manner. I am not going to check my scale and just continue as if I didn't eat out of my window. My window just changed.

I weigh every day. I find that on days I don't weigh, I tend to overeat - sometimes rather dramatically.

Thanks for popping in Tracie. Well I made it for my 17 hours today and am going to wait till 7 tomorrow which would be 17 from now, Hopefully. I've decided to attempt to make 7 to 12 my official window and see how that goes. Baby steps. Well actually this may be a little leap for me, from 17/7 to 19/5, but I going for it. How are you doing?

My Journey has entered a new era. I am pumped! I still have not solidly stuck to any particular fasting period, but am still working on a solid 17:7 or something like that. But I've added another dimension to this by incorporating a Ketogenic Diet. All good fats were added and I love this plan. I feel like a spring chicken!
