Hi folks, hope you don't mind me joining you!
I'm one week into the Fast 800, and enjoying it so far. Having just read the book, I know it encourages time restricted eating.
So. Does my morning cuppa, with milk, technically break this? I can go without food till 10 or 11 no problem, but I really enjoy that first brew.0 -
@Meghan509 I am always so jealous of your lovely beach trips! Think of me when you are lounging.
@melaniecheeks Hey there, stranger!! Way to go with your week! I saw that book, but haven't read it. I would say that the coffee doesn't violate the fast because it doesn't spike your blood sugar, but the milk in it does.
I feel yucky and grumpy, so I am going to go do something productive to make myself feel better. Have a good week! Stay healthy!0 -
Good morning all.
Welcome @melaniecheeks! I also have not read that book, but I googled and see our friend Dr. Mosley has come out with a new plan. Very cool! Looks like the Fast 800 plan allows 800 calories a day? If so, having your morning coffee or tea with milk is fine, just apply the milk towards your 800 calories.
@KateNkognito I decided to turn my two day fast in to a one day fast. I find I am just not cut out for fasting past 18 to 20 hours. I need to stick to what I know and what works for me. Keto with 1200 calories a day and a 18/6 eating window is what I need to do and focus on.
Not much else happening here. Typical work day on tap. Have a great day and see you all soon.

Hey, y'all! This has been the longest week EVER and it is only Tuesday! BUT, I realized I was probably getting the beginnings of a bladder infection and started on some cranberry extract and took some NyQuil and slept hard. So, today I feel better, plus I figured out a thing that had been stressing me out at work. So, overall, things are looking up!
@Meghan509 Whatever works for you is what is best. There is no one size fits all. That is what I like best about fasting is there are so many ways to do it that you can try them out until you find what works. And no matter what, you get the health benefits.
Off to get another good night's sleep and keep rollin' tomorrow! Have a great rest of the week! Stay healthy!0 -
Good morning!
Hope you are feeling better, @KateNkognito those infections are NO FUN!
Thanks for your kind words. That is true about fasting. Definitely been a learning process. Bu, life is all about learning.
Things are good here. Yesterday went well. Today is good. At work for a few hours then back home.
Have a great day all. See you soon.0 -
I'm looking forward to my first post Covid trip to the hairdressers this week - my reward for reaching my first target (getting my bmi under 30)2
-
Congratulations, @melaniecheeks! That sounds like a great reward.
@Meghan509 I hope you had a nice day and got stuff done at work!
I am getting a handle on my stress. The cranberry extract did its magic. I still feel super nauseous, but that just makes it easier to lose weight, right?
I think once school starts and I get a feel for my students and what I have to do, I will feel much better. This time of year is always stressful, but changing jobs and the 'Rona is just sending me a bit over the edge. I got this. God has got this, more importantly. Have a nice rest of the week! Stay healthy! 1 -
Good morning all!
@melaniecheeks congrats on getting to your goal and hope you had a great hair appointment!!
@KateNkognito thanks! Had a good day yesterday. Productive at work and stuck to my Keto WOE. Hope you are hanging in there. Don't let stress derail you. You got this!
Planning to stick to my 18/6 eating schedule, 1200 calories, 20g carbs or less, etc. Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am hoping to see some good progress. Fingers crossed!
Have a great day and see you soon.1 -
Evening, all!
Thanks, @Meghan509! I got done with a big chunk of paperwork today. That makes me feel better. Plus, I have some other stuff planned out. I hope your weigh in goes well!
@melaniecheeks Did you have your hair appointment yet? I am jealous. I missed my annual haircut this year.
Tomorrow is FRIDAY!! This week has been the longest month, ever! Gonna put my feet up this weekend and sleep and relax. Have a great one! Stay healthy!0 -
Good afternoon all!
Happy to report that I am down 1.4 lbs this week! Very happy!
Woo hoo! 10.4 lbs until I am considered a healthy BMI. Crazy...
Going to stick to my 18/6 fasting schedule for the time being except for Monday we may try a 20/4 or OMAD type of day. I will see what my guy wants to do. We are in this together.
We have that lovely hurricane coming up here tomorrow, so no beach day on Saturday. Sunday is supposed to be nice though. Just feeling grateful for my job, health, and having food in our tummies.
Have a good day and see you all soon!0 -
Congratulations, @Meghan509! That is awesome! Stay safe this weekend! The good thing about this crazy year is that it really makes a body grateful for what we have.
SO SO SO glad it is FRIDAY!! Gonna go to sleep soon. Need sleep and water. Have a fantastic weekend! Stay safe!0 -
Hi folks, yes I had my hair done yesterday. I have really short hair - at the start of lockdown my husband gave me the clippers-all-over Covid-cut, so it's just grown its own way since then. It's now lovely and neat, and a gorgeous shade of choclate brown (about the only chocolate I'll get at the minute, lol)
It's a Bank Holiday Monday here in UK, so a long weekend to look forward to. I plan a run on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Official weigh day is tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure I'll have hit my first 7 pounds (half stone) off.
So in anticipation I've ordered my next reward off Amazon - a new Fitbit and matching scales! A friend was raving about these, and how great the linking and tracking is. I'm a bit worried that new scales will give a different weight, but as long as I'm measuring consistently, that's the main thing.
Bit of an NSV - I'm sure my "chub rub" is less today when I was walking down stairs.

Good morning and happy Saturday all!
Rainy one here, so shopping and errands planned for us!
Hope both of you ladies enjoy your weekend! A nice long one too, @melaniecheeks! We have one more week and then Monday is a holiday for us too.
See you soon!0 -
Unusual NSV here, my husband said “ you’re laughing more”
Being honest, I think that’s a lot to do with being alcohol free, I keep conveniently forgetting what a depressant it is.0 -
Morning all! I am just plugging along.
@Meghan509 Hope you are having a nice weekend!
@melaniecheeks That is a good NSV!
Off to write a paper and a journal entry. Gotta love homework when you are in your 40s. Have a great week! Stay healthy!0 -
Good morning all!
Last day of August!? Jeez, that flew by!
Things are good here. Nice weekend. The rain pretty much stayed away on Saturday so running errands was no biggie. Yesterday we went to the beach and it was breezy but nice.
Planning a regular day for me today, which is 18/6 with 1200 calories and 20g of carbs or less.
Have a nice one and see you all soon!0
