Hi is anyone still active in this group?

Hello!

Started intermittent fasting just before the pandemic started. While I haven't lost much weight per the scale, I have found that my soft belly has slimmed down considerably, and gone down a pantsize!

I do find if I go over 16 hours I get headaches (I suffer from chronic migraines with many triggers). Other than black coffee and water, how do you push past 16 hours?

Hi everyone, I’ve been pretty inconsistent with IF after four years of doing some 16:8 to 21 hr fasts.

As of Jan 3, I have fasted a minimum of 20 hours a day, including weekends, which is a big adjustment for me since I was doing 16:8 previously on weekends.

I’ve released 5 pounds so far. I do notice that I get very hungry on my workout days, so I try to time it now so that my eating window follows my workout within 3 hours.

Beyond the weight reduction (which is a big deal at 5’1”), getting my insulin levels to drop is a huge motivator and keeps me going on the tough days.

hello I Just started 16:8 and the first few days were a bit challenging but it's ok now. i have been losing about 0.3lbs per day. I bet this is only at the start and mostly water weight. What has been your experience? i'd love to lose about 50 lbs but traditional calories in /calories out diets always plateau around where I am now so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weight loss continues. I drink a lot of water and green tea during my fasting window. Any advise would be appreciated.

Hello. I've been intermittent fasting for almost two years. Lost 52 pounds and have kept it off for this last year. However, I do occasionally struggle with eating outside my eating window if it's late at night (and I'm still up) or breaking my fast earlier then intended. It's somewhat keeping me from losing my last 8-10 pounds. I realize I need a support group with advice and encouragement and tips as to how to stay the course and replace my hunger cues with more productive means. Late night is usually my biggest problem. I struggle going to bed early (old habits from my younger years) and I know I likely need to schedule something productive for me to do so I don't mindlessly watch TV (which is always exciting for me to do when eating at the same time so they ALWAYS go hand in hand)

Anyway, nice to be here!

Hi Just had breast cancer surgery Thursday. Restarting diet today Saturday I love this diet I lose a pound a day when I do low carb with it. I must stay with it this time.

Hello,
My name is Myriam. I live in Minneapolis MN. This is my first time fasting. I'm doing 16:8. I started just a week ago. I try to eat only 1200 calories per day. I'm seeing some changes already and I'm really excited.

Hello. I just finished my first 16 hour fast. I run a daycare and only felt really hungry while preparing the daycare kids breakfast and lunches. Does anyone else have these feel the same while preparing food for your family? I'm looking for tips to make sure the urge to break the fast doesn't become overwhelming. I'm drinking a ton of water to help.

Hello!
I'm Rachel or Rae. I have been fasting for 1 hour and 9 minutes.
I don't have any questions right now but I'm sure I will soon.

I have previously lost 125lb. I need double knee replacement and have been given a further weight loss goal by my surgeon. So I'm trying to power off an additional 65 and quickly, but as healthily, as possible to get my knees. I have done a lot of reading on intermittent fasting and the research backing it and think that it, along with a healthy diet, is going to be good for me. I look forward to reading about other's experiences with it in this group.
