Congratulations @flumi_f ! Great job!
I got on the scale this morning, and in the last 3 months have completely undone my weight loss. I am going to reset my # of days logged in to 0 and start over. Lesson learned and back on the wagon!

Well summer break has simply been that...a break. We've had 2 vacations back-to-back and I am glad to be home!!! Back to a routine for sure. Fasting has been spotty. Lots of eating out and not at any particular time, so while the spontaneity of vacationing has been fun, I'm definitely happy to be back to a regular way of life! I had a fantastic fast yesterday and will have another either tomorrow or Saturday. Summer ballet started Tuesday, so all is right with the world . I had to do a makeup class last night and boy, am I sore. Hard to believe just a week off (I've been doing dance stuff at home) can really make me this sore, but that's showbiz (ha). Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer! We finally got out of the 108 degree temps and are now down to a downright comfortable high 90 range. I must say weight loss has made me able to tolerate the heat a lot better!!!

Four pounds lost! Woo Hoo! Although, I am sure that most of that was water weight, I am still excited to have started over and be back on a downward trend!

Saying hello, I joined the group yesterday! I'm new to 5:2 fasting. I watched the Michael Mosley documentary last week and have been reading up some studies on IF since then. I tried a fast day off the cuff last friday to see if I could do it - and I could so ... going to give this a proper try now. I already have an eating pattern where I skip breakfast and concentrate most of my calories in the evenings. I do have a problem with overeating on occasional days and evening snacking beyond my calorie goal but the discipline of fasting twice a week and then eating freely (but not excessively) on the other days may suit me.

Feeling positive! I'll also be reducing my typical protein intake from meat sources as the documentary highlighted too much protein as a problem of the western diet too. Not a big reduction, but aiming for 150grams of chicken rather than my more usual 200-220 grams of chicken when I have my evening meal.

Thanks for the welcome, Kate. I'm feeling quite excited about this different approach. Great to hear that it works for you!

Wow, five pounds lost in a fortnight! Way to go, auzziecawth!

Fast day yesterday well super well and I'm thinking of also logging when I break the fasting time. There is a menu item 'Intermittent fasting' adjustment for each hour. So if my dinner was at 6pm and I don't eat next day until say 11am I would log with my breakfast time '17hours fasting'..... Does anyone else do this?

Happy hump day everyone!

Second fast for this week complete. I haven't recorded the time when I break my fast. Usually it is around 11am to 1pm the next day.

So, halfway through my second fast day for the week and ... I'm finding that because I'm aware that it's a fast day and therefore food is on my mind more than usual, I'm looking to be busier than I normally am to keep my mind off food. This morning I did some garden and pool work that I would usually avoid until it needed doing. This is an unexpected but good personal side effect!
