    What do you want motivation and ideas for? Fasting? Losing weight fast?
    Losing weight RIGHT, aka in a HEALTHY and SUSTAINABLE way?
    Sorry, confused.

    Id recommend not fasting, because every time ive tried to do that to lose weight i ended up gaining because i was so hungry. Try a -1000 calorie deficit for quick AND safe results that wont make you binge.

    I'd say based on your very LIMITED post above (and that slightly frightening reply) I that you ignore this suggestion

    Try: Doing what MFP suggests (with 1.0Lbs a week for starters unless you;re VERY VERY overweight)
    OR if you know your BMR and TDEE, do 10%, 15% below that. If BMR and TDEE are unfamiliar to you, do the former.

    And, so that we can give you GOOD, educated, feedback, tell us your AGE, weight, height, gender and goals.

    Don't fast for weight loss--you'll be setting yourself up for misery and unrealistic expectations. Put all of your stats into the "goals" section of MFP, select a reasonable weekly goal, eat the daily amount of calories MFP gives you, and eat food you like that fits into that daily goal. I've lost 7 lbs doing this--it works when you log accurately. :)
