Day3 of Week23, IF, 18/6
SW: 104kg/229lbs; CW: 88kg/194lbs; GW: 85kg/187lbs
Today is 85.9kg down from the 87,6kg of yesterday.
Considering that yesterday was 18/6 2MAD this is a neat result, almost in the empty-weight range.
It would seem I’ll have to start considering how I should alter my meal-schedule and weekly IF plan for maintaining goal weight.
Today is rolling 24h fast, which is ending with an eating window of a 2MAD (one dinner and one rich breakfast tomorrow morning) and then moving on to my weekly 48h
I kept workout light yesterday so I’m only mildly sore.Things sure feel rusty with putting workouts on hold for a month or two due to the pollen issues, but it feels nice to get back in the goove of things.
I’m considering some mobility training too, but for that I’ll need to rearrange the workout corner again, to provide enough room where I can roll out a mat or something.
I found that being lighter and less bloated makes such mobility training actually plausible so, it shall be an interesting thing to experiment with.
Not sure what I will have for meals before the 48h fast, but the following options are on my mind.
I have a large serving of ground beef stew frozen, and some fresh ground meat to make meatballs with something, some potatoes, onion, eggs and such, so this could easily be turned into anything from tortilla-burgers to a very rich eggs and sausages breakfast.
Suggestions and ideas are welcome!
Once again, we made it to MIDWEEK, so the hard part is over. Keep to your plans and get’em results, folk! ;)
A week and a half in of gym training, cycling and eating 1400/1500 cals (38M, 5’5, 81kg, on 16:8) and I’ve fluctuated down 2kg but back up so my week and a half loss is only 0.5kg. I surely have to be eating in a deficit - should I be seeing a greater loss? I’m worried that it might be too low and hampering me - but math is math!! Plus I’ve been with nutritionists before and 1800cals while training still puts weight on me!
16:8 to 18:6.On day 6 of trying to lose weight and get my life in a healthy place AGAIN.. Going well so far. Finding it easier the more days that go past.Really struggling with belly bloat upon breaking my fast, to the point it’s painful and I look pregnant. Any tips on combating that would be great.
Mid-week 6, 16:8 update
I have been absolutely killing it so far this week. TMAD with a mid-day banana as a snack, and a couple excellent workouts.
I was 1/2 a pound from a small milestone on my Monday morning weigh-in. Already looking forward to the next one.

42F,5/7”, SW: 225, CW: 213, GW: 170. I’m beginning week 5 of IF. I started with 20:4, which has turned into a solid 19:5. I am now at a point where hunger isn’t really factoring into my day, so I’ve had a few days over 24 hours (including today), just because of scheduling needs. I initially lost about 8 pounds in 2.5 weeks, probably water weight, then gained a couple of those back as the new normal settled in, then dropped another 7 in the past couple of weeks.
I’m feeling so optimistic, which is the best part. Thank you to everyone sharing their tips and support!
