Hi! I am joining the challenge.
I have wanted to go back to fasting and it has been difficult. My wedding is on August 11th, I was supposed to go on a diet since January and I have kept quitting.
I will start fasting 5:2 this week and the next, then I want to try 16:8 fasting.

I am starting at 79.2 kg.

Thanks,
Maty

How nice Matillian, to have someone else joining me. And congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I've been married to the same wonderful man for over 40 years.. You must be a lot taller than I am. This morning I was back to 58.9 kg and my BMI is still 23. I am short! :doh:

Thanks @Margotylvia !
I am fasting today and totally feeling it. I am not a big fan of plain water and it is sooo difficult for me to drink it, I take it like medicine.
How tall are you? I am 1.63 m (5ft 4"), I had good progress a few years back, I got from 82 to 64kg but then I moved to another city, stopped fasting, ate without restriction and I put all the weight back on. My ultimate goal is around the weight you are now 59.9 kg.
I'll be weighing myself daily.
May 16th - 79.1 kg
May 17th - 78.9 kg

Hi Matillian, I am about 159 cm, maybe 5foot 2. My weight this morning was 59 kg. These ups and downs are always part of this struggle. The point is not to give up, but to keep on going. :)

Hi!
I struggled a lot yesterday during my first fast, I went to sleep because I was so hungry last night.
But today I am 1kg lighter I expect tomorrow it will be a higher number but still it feels great. I will eat less at lunch because tonight we'll have dinner out I don't want to over do it and I don't want to order salad either :starving: :lol:
What's your goal?
Stats
May 16th - 79.1 kg
May 17th - 78.9 kg
May 18th - 77.8 kg

My goal weight is now about 55 kg. I used to go around a lot weighing 52 kgs, but as I got older that was so much harder to maintain that I changed my goal weight to 55 kg. Alas, about a year ago I fell and broke my shoulder bone. I did some serious comfort eating, and gained a lot of extra weight. It is those kilos I am now endeavoring to shake off. This spring-including Lent - I have managed to lose more than 10 kgs, which is a relief. I think I ought to go a bit below the 55 kg line, because eating normally again will make me gain some more weight right away. This morning I was 59,2 kg so it is a slow process. Well done you losing a kilo in one go! :grin:

Today I weighed 58.9 kg. I am getting a bit tired of that figure. Have been around it all week. Well, the only answer is to keep on going. :confused:
