F/65/5’7”/179
Type: Water, Coffee,Tea, Pepsi Zero (ha)
Context: First day, did it!
Length:16 hour fast. 7 days
Why: Lower cholesterol, fit in my clothes and to feel sleek + powerful!
Notes: I have felt good with the whole 30 in the past, but not sure what my eating window is going to be yet. this was hard but I went to bed early. Limiting alcohol consumption is going to be my biggest challenge. I like the idea of calcium magnesium supp. in water, I may try something like that. I also read that spinach extract helps with cravings?
Good morning! F / 33 / 5’10” / 215 lbs
Type: Water/Coffee/Tea. Mix ins include a calcium/magnesium/sodium booster powder in water throughout the day and minimal sweetener. Keto in eating window.
Context: First day of week two!
Length: 20 hour fast, shooting for all seven days a week.
Why?: Controlling my wild eating habits and losing weight.
Notes: Supernbowl Sunday was brutal…! But even though I went outside of my dietary restrictions, and probably calorie count, for the event I still strictly ate within my eating window of 4-8 PM. It made me feel a lot better about what I ate….! So if you’re one to beat yourself up about what you’ve eaten, as I tend to do, restricting that kind of happening to your window hopefully will help you feel better. It’s only the start of my second week! Groggy though; carbs hangovers hurt almost as much as booze hangovers… thankfully I only have one of those today.
Starting week 7 of fasting for weight loss. Keep trying for OMAD most days but fall to 20-4 at worst.
Had some big challenges to schedule and activities over the last two weeks that slowed my progress. Only had 4 or 5 off-target days and gained a couple of pounds (probably glycogen/water), but they really took a long time to reverse through a strong routine. Just wanted to encourage others not to give up if the scale moves the wrong direction for a few weeks – eventually you’ll catch back up if you continue to be committed.
At my lowest weight in a year and moving towards my pre-COVID lockdown weight.
30 F / 5’1 / 119 LBS
Hey there fellow IFers- F/34/5’9/170/GW:150
Type: Water, Tea
Context: Day 4, started last Thursday.
Length: 16/8 - eating window has been 11am-7pm. I start work at 7:30am so this time frame seems doable
Why: To feel less bloaty and to lose a bit of weight and feel better overall. Been hearing a lot about IF and finally decided to try it. Not big on cutting certain food groups out entirely, but going to make an effort to cut back on carbs and processed foods.
Was sooooo tired the first 3 days, couldn’t stay awake past 7pm but today has been different. Much more energy and was even able to work out a little. Excited to see how this goes!
