Anyone interested in doing a 21 day challenge? I'm going to start an Intermittent Fasting program tomorrow and do at least 3 weeks to see if I like the results. I will post before and after pics as well as 4 weigh ins.
I'll be working out at 4:30am daily and consume all calories in 2-3 meals between the hours of 11:30am and 7:30pm.
Feel free to let me know if you are interested!

I'm in too... I have read about intermittent fasting but I have never been able to stick to it. Maybe some extra support here will help!1

Here are two great videos from Dr. Jason Fung, an authority on Intermittent Fasting -- he explains it so that it makes SENSE!

How many calories is everybody affording themselves each day? I know the point of IF is to not count calories/log, but left to my own devices, I'd be eating 3,000 calories per day. I am working around 1200 calories per day for feed time of 12pm-8pm. This is my second day, and, amazingly, I AM STILL ALIVE!5

Hope you guys succeed! Just want to give a little warning: if you suffer from migraines (and especially if hunger is a trigger for you) don't fast or start out with only 13-14hours. I've tried it a couple of times in the past, but unfortunately always got horrible migraines.
Anyhow, good luck!1 -

Thanks for the "heads up." No pun intended.1 -
Has anyone had any success with this and KEPT it off after going back to eating on a regular basis?0

The several people that I know do it as a lifestyle. They always use 16:8; however, if they do not want to lose any more weight, they just up their calories. Don't know if this helps you...

Day one in the books. No headaches (yet). This is my first real attempt at intermittent fasting, but a friend of mine has done very well keeping with it and maintaining.2

I started today after doing some research and hearing ampollo (IG) talk about it on her YouTube page. My eating times are 1-9 and my calorie goal is between 16-1700 calories.3

Day one complete! I fasted for 14 hrs. Tomorrow I will shoot for 16/8. I felt energized and not hungry at all but I "wanted" to eat anyway bc food is good6

I've been 18:6 for a couple years now. I lost 30 pounds the first year and 8 the 2nd year. Gained a couple back over the holidays. I'm hoping to finally make it to my goal sometime this year. I love I.F. and I'll never go back to eating 1st thing in the morning. The thing that helps me the most in the winter is a bit of broth in the afternoon, and in the summer I like some iced tea or some lemon water. Good luck on your challenge everybody4

I'm in this will work for me. I work 11-7 and can leave work and do my hour workout. And do my meals.1

I am in. Yesterday was the hardest but today it wasn't too bad.1

Tuesday (day 2) didn't go as planned. I ended up eating at 1130-12am instead of 1-2. But I within my calorie goal. Today I'm shooting for 16/81

Fasting (18:6) is working well for me. I feel satsified, no cravings. There is a certain liberation (feeling of control) with eating in a certain block of time. Same amount of calories, just in a different format. Love it!
