    @Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good I calculate my eating time slightly differently than you. If I'm doing a 16:8 schedule and I start eating at 10:00am, than 8 hours of eating would mean I stop eating at 6:00PM.

    I plan on sticking to a 16:8 schedule for the 10 day challenge. The weekends are going to be really hard for me.

    @trinati2001 Weekends are rough when fasting! Try to carry water or tea with you always. Smells draw time to food so fast. I have to walk away!

    @Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good you are going beyond your goal! Good job!

    * update: We didn't make the goal as we were so hungry. We are going to switch to a 23:1 OMAD schedule so we can eat at the same time every evening.

    The water weight (from high salt meals has finally come off). I drank a gallon of water yesterday and extra coffee to help flush it from my system.

    That's really low cal! The people who do 5:2 fast actually eat more than that on a fast day. They eat 500 cal on a fast day!
    Eating a high fat food also help you stay satiated and feel full. Like an avocado or nuts help me a lot.

    @Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good you have had 3 days under 1000 calories. Are you planning on continuing with that level of calorie intake?? To each their own but I don't think that is a healthy behavior, not for long term weight loss and not for short term weight loss.

    @Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good I'm sorry I misunderstood your chart. I thought it was showing total calories. I did not understand what net calories meant until I went and looked mine up. Here are my total calorie and net calorie charts.

    FYI this is the first time I've put a picture into a chat thread. Yeah for me!!

    Weight 141.6 I had a migraine and didn't post yesterday. I need to drink espresso 2 or maybe 3 cups during the day to fight migraines. I also take the Aimovig shot once a month. We went for a walk yesterday which was nice, but it ended in a migraine. Head still hurts this am. I'm wondering how the day will progress.

    I'm eating a very high fat/low carb diet. I try to get around 1,000 cal in each day. My macros are 70% fat, 5% carbs, 25% protein. Actually, I go over on the carbs to 10% often. It's still melted the weight off.
