Hi, my name's Jess and I was wondering if anyone has any good tips for losing weight, I've tried fasting but I don't think I'm doing it correctly. I wanna lose it as fast as possible as well. I'm struggling 😔 thanks

    Input honest info into MFP. Eat however many calories it gives you plus any calories you burn from exercise. Use food scale to log accurately (I.e. a tablespoon of peanut butter is 14 grams, don't just guess or use a measuring spoon.) Lose weight at a reasonable pace. Voila!

    Whatever way you did fasting that resulted in the giant weight loss on your other thread is definitely not the right way. Use MFP as it's meant to be used: put in a reasonable deficit, eat to that number, and think long term. Short cuts lead to longer delays as the saying goes.

    Agreed. You've tried that and learned it doesn't work. Toss it out the window and take the word 'fast' out of your vocabulary. Replace it with 'sustainable' instead.

    Why do you think you aren't fasting "correctly"? And have you kept off the weight you lost? What are you current stats? We can't really help unless we have info to use.

    She dropped roughly 56lbs according to her other thread in 3 months, and from the sounds of it she must have gained some or all of it back.
