Intermittent Fasting

[LunaB]

Returning once again.

I started intermittent fasting a week ago and my first official weigh in is tomorrow morning.

My biggest dilemma is that my motivation evaporates very quickly and my hope is that this diary will help to keep me focused. I will be logging on daily if I can. I would welcome your support on my weight loss journey and I promise to do my very best to return that support.

My goals are simply to become fit and healthy and ultimately to get down to 178lbs by this time next year from a starting weight of 255lbs.

I am fasting 16 hours and my eating window is 8 hours, between 1-9 p.m.

I have not weighed all week even though I was tempted and there has been times when I thought of giving up, so tomorrow will be a surprise, good or bad.

Love this, big dirty fry! its really hard to beat. You've done amazing for your first week! Great start. I'm Bean an Tí, new to the admin team and doing Slimming World but also only eating in a 11-8 window, well trying to anyway, only back on it and starting off slow as I'm adjusting to no longer breastfeeding so the hormones are going wild. I'm here to help anyway I can

Thank you for the welcome.

Good luck with Slimming World and fasting.

How are you getting on Simone?

I'm good. Sticking to my plan and starting to feel a bit better internally which is a great bonus. Even my 500ml of lemon water is getting easier to drink

I'm back to work tomorrow so I will be moving a bit more which is no harm. It will be crazy but it will be good. I don't do any exercise at home, I'm just ridiculous

Glad to hear you are doing well.

I hope you managed to stay on plan being back at work.

Well done on your first week loss.

My eating window was 12pm to 6pm for a few years until we went into lockdown and it slowly got longer and longer so I nearly ended up eating every hour I was awake. So today has been my first day back on it.

 

[Simone45]

How are you getting on? I'm still on plan. Managed to stay away from all the sweets and biscuits in work, getting plenty of movement too so all going well.

All going good here as well and managed 3lbs off for my weigh in this morning. That’s a half stone now already.

I don’t think I would be able to do a four hour window, Do you go straight into it or gradually cut down?

Good luck

 

[Mary2020]

I do a 6 hour window but my last meal is usually 4.30pm.I'm fine in the morning as I keep myself busy. It's usually evening times when I feel like I want not need something.

Well done on 3lbs off.
