I have been doing intermittent fasting for years (off and on) It comes natural to me, so I eat from 12pm to 8pm

Hey there @nfll406 !! Welcome again...please go back and read my welcome letter at the beginning of this page and it will help fill in some of the blanks hopefully...if you have questions, ask away!

I do intermittent fasting and try to eat between 11 and 7 each day, so you could say the fasting portion is about 16 hours, give or take...sometimes I miss it by a half hour depending on how I'm feeling in the morning.

I do better with only two meals a day and try to limit the snacking.

Enjoy your day!

First week back at the school done, on to the second. Its so odd because although we are doing in person classes and are a school of almost 1400 students, It is practically empty. My office is in the middle school, and students in the middle and high school only come one day a week and its either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, then k-5 come everyday, but half in the morning and half in the afternoon. So we only have 300-500 students on campus at a time on a campus built for 1700. It would be nice though to get caught up on some beggining of the year work, but for some reason the IT office unhooked the server and it is still not back up, and EVERYTHING I need is on there, Im losing my mind. I cant even fathom why they took that out. Hopefully they will have it back up really soon, I have told them a number of times how important that is, so we will see.

Signing up for steps for September at 10k. I need the extra motivation 😄

Also- can I change my weigh in day to Sunday?

@jessicakrall8 and @angmarie28 did you have an initial adjustment phase when you first started intermittent fasting?
I tried for a few days and felt light headed without breakfast. So gave up. But I do want to try the right way.

@UCGRocks Yes, it took some getting used to and working at home has made it easier...if I'm in the office where I have a colleague who LOVES to talk about bacon and potatoes, I pretty much always give in and order something delivered for breakfast, but if I get busy right away working and sip on water, I'm good until about 10:45 when I start fixing something for my lunch. During that initial period, perhaps have something light, like a granola bar or bowl of cereal to get you past the hard part. Good luck! You'll do great!

I am back from dad's now Jessica. I did say I would not weigh in this past week. However I did not say when I was returning because I didn't even know myself. Being at my dad's there's no internet and I'm on limited data on my phone which I actually went to the limit. He seemed in good spirits. So the past week I wasn't even recording anything either. Back at it as of Monday.
angmarie28 hope everything goes well with your changes for the better. I have a son who has epilepsy and we had him on the Keto diet for almost two years. Although it was a diet with tons of restrictions it was very high fat hence why I'm here. So I know the challenges you may have ahead of you but you got this and your whole family will benefit ☺️.
I also want to try the fasting. I will have to celebrate my half way mark again. Thanks for all who have congratulated me it so nice to have a support team here. I will celebrate again when I hit the 30 pound mark. Cheers. And welcome to all the new members.

Weigh day is Thursday

I didn't catch that you'd be skipping the last weigh in, but I'll email the mods and have them remove your NWI.

You still have two days before weigh in, so I'll wait and see if you go down if you'd like. Let me know.
