    Just started, This is day 3, with a 20:4 schedule. So, I have a snack if needed around 4, and dinner as usual. Much easier than just reducing calories. I do need to work on incorporating more protein at dinner though...I keep falling short.

    Have about 5 more hours to go for a 110 hour fast. I feel better now than the prior 3 days and would continue if I didn’t have a heavy social weekend ahead with group meals and travel. Down 9.5#.

    I guess I have been fasting 5 years! I fasted Mondays for nearly a year, then added Wednesdays. At the beginning of the year I do a longer fast up to 40 days. My goal this year is 21 days to welcome in the new year, M & W throughout the year and a fast at the beginning of each month in correlation with the month (ie: June = 6th month, so I will fast the first 6 days.)

    I forget how energized I feel as I extend my fast! I honestly didn't fast much last year, lots of stress - which was why I should have been fasting! LOL

    Of course since this is a lifestyle, if an event happens on a planned fast day, I will break my fast to enjoy the event.

    I've been doing it since September 2017 and I love it. I do the 18/6 protocol. I don't eat before 8 a.m. and usually finish well before 2:00.

    Been doing 22/2 for a few months with a 3-4 day fast twice a month. I eat a meal at 10and noon. Amazing results. Past 4 days and I get a little loopy. This seems to be working very well.

    Starting my third week 16/8 with a 24 hour fast once a week! Can't believe how easy it is to stick to--why didn't I start sooner?

    I started three days ago. I'm doing the 16/8 protocol and the 5:2 schedule. I eat 1200 cals between 1pm-8pm for 5 days (Sun,Tues,Wed,Fri,Sat) and 500 cals between 1pm-8pm for two days (Mon,Thurs). So far everything has been great...but it's just the beginning.

    I'm two days into Week 4 of IF on a 16:8 schedule. Until this week, I've been NOT IF'ing on Saturday and Sunday. This week, I'll only be taking a break on Saturday. I've also been doing a ton of strength training and indoor climbing every week, so although I haven't noticed the scale budge, my body is changing and my strength is through the roof.

    I love my energy levels too. That, and the fact that I drink a lot less alcohol, have me feeling like a million bucks.

    Next weigh-in and measure is April 30.

    Happy IF'ing everybody! :smiley:
