I don’t always fast and often switch up different strategies when I have stalls. Fasting has always been good for me and I’m a firm believer in the benefits of fasting as a believer in detoxing as well. I am also a bypass patient so my calorie intake is much less than most. When I do fast, it has always made me feel much better afterwards. I respect your opinions and thank you for sharing with me.

Just in case there was any misunderstanding, I do not promote self starving. I use intermittent fasting 16:8 and once a month I do a week of Intermittent Fasting 5:2 which is the above 48 hour fast. There are several groups on MFP community about this and for people who use this method.

Many people fast at Summer Equinox. I know a few people who fast 1 day per week, and some do 2 days per week (David Suzuki is a proponent). It is also a part of some religions. It purportedly resets the mind and the body.
Some consider a fast anything less than 500 calories in a day. Do you eat anything on those days or just water?
I am thinking that I might incorporate a fast day every once in awhile, but I am not sure that I can do without my coffee ; - )
I love watching your progress, you are truly inspiring.

Yes actually on those days I do have water tea and coffee but no sugar. I use stevia to help with the coffee. When I do a 48 hour I do the under 500 calories a day. I’ve never done longer than that but I know a few people who have. I’m not made for that tho lol. Muslims just finished doing Ramadan which is a month of fasting everyday from sunrise to sunset and only eat at night. So yes because of this and so many other reasons I truly believe in the benefits of fasting physically and spiritually. Thank you so much for your kind message Dawn ❤️❤️

May was not a great month for me. I had way to much going on (vacation, graduation, end of the year programs/projects, and parties) every time I turned around. School is out for the summer though and I am ready to get back on track. Being a mother of 5 (2 which are adults supposedly) can take a toll on you sometimes. Thank goodness I have an amazing family and husband that help me.

@dawnbgethealthy I have an all called BodyFast
It’s a fasting app I use when my weight it stuck for a long time and it helps get it moving again
It’s not often I use it, but there’s loads of different options for fasting.
If it’s something your considering I would recommend that app too you.
It’s a safe way to fast and I’ve known it to help a lot of people x

Not liking this number, but I always seem to see a slight jump after non-gym days. Also, apparently I have a woo follower. Not sure what that's about but whatever.

Adjusting check-in dates to use my regular Friday weigh-ins (pins) for my personal tracking. Checking in between weigh-ins helped keep me focused, will keep that up in June.

Today's Thoughts: I'm feeling totally back on track and in the groove. Today is a new low since this effort began! I've lost 2 weeks of June recovering from the slip. Getting to the June goal may not be a reasonable expectation - but if I stay focused, I can meet or beat(!) May's loss. The Trend Weight graph is looking a bit wonky (projected weight), but it will take a sustained effort to pull it back in the right direction.

We've got a Father's Day cookout on Sunday. As I mentioned, I'm hosting & in control of the menu. I've got that planned out in a way that pleases everyone, and keeps me on track without feeling deprived. Next week, I have a friend in town on business and we are planning to get together for dinner. Eating out is always a challenge, but I have time to plan around it, without sabotaging my progress. Reminder to self: Be Mindful.

As we've hit the midpoint of the month, congrats to those making progress, and "hang in there" if you're facing challenges.

June Game Plan & Goals:

• Continue weekly meal planning
• Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500 Back on track with 300-500 deficit
• No calorie intake after 8pm
• Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 - 7 day average 5091 YES!
• Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 26
• Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 5

Ok. It might be me (I'd have to scroll back and look). I've been trying not to hit it because someone else mentioned it last month. So what is woo? I assume it is not "woo hoo" as in Way to Go!

In MFP forums, woo is generally meant that you disagree with what someone has posted. Either false statements or things not backed by science.

ETA: I doubt it is you. Someone has wooed nearly every post of mine in this thread and also in May's thread.
