    This is scary and I've never heard of heart palpitations as a result of fasting. I did end up in the ER once while eating one time per day. Now I wonder if that contributed to it?

    I'm happy with my weight this month, but need to get on top of heart palpitations which started about 6 weeks ago. It seems to be relatively common with fasting, but I ended up in A&E this week while my heartbeats skipped and did somersaults nonstop for 7 hours til 3am. It was reassuring to have this all monitored, and as there was no pain or rapid heart beat (pulse was steady around 60 bpm throughout) they sent me home at 4am. Might be caffeine-related so I'm avoiding it for a while to see what happens. So far, so good!

    I am 36 and mom to two young kids. My goal is to get back down 130-135, which is what I weighed at my fittest and strongest about four years ago before I was hit with back troubles and the depression that goes along with it. This is my second month in this group, and I'm going to try to be more engaged. For February, I'd like to drop 4 or 5 pounds. I'm also hoping to add more vegetables into my diet and scale back on fruit (I replaced desserts with fruit). I have a personal goal of earning my blue belt in jiu-jitsu this month, which I think could happen. I'm going to compete in my first (in-house) tournament on Saturday.

    Update: competition went really well. I got second place in my bracket. I was promoted to. Blue belt last week. Met most of my goals and am brainstorming what I want to focus on next month.

    Thanks! I worked my butt off. Came off a little faster in the end that I would like, but my scale’s reading of my body fat percentage has been going down slightly and I’ve been lifting a lot, so fairly confident I’m not losing muscle.
