I am now back down to 252 after just 2 days. I'm starting back slow on the fasting but going to hit the gym daily. I will be at the gym tonight from…

36 hour ADF
I do really well with 36 hour fasts M-W-F. I’m jumping back in with a fast tomorrow. I’m also getting back to a Mediterranean style diet. I’m forgiving myself for gaining weight in 2022. It was a tough year. But I’m also needing to get healthier, so 2023 is it. No more excuses!

Hello! I am so super excited!! I started intermittent fasting, 16-8 on 08/07/22. I am down 12.2 pounds and it is only 08/16/22. I am guessing it is because I am pretty big and I will level out soon. So I am here to help keep my motivation going for when it does slow down. I am packing wholesome salads for my lunch and…

Mostly mentally, but excited to finally find something that works for me. I'm looking forward to chatting with others living the…
I need more therapy
So after visiting the doctor, I was told I need 12 more weeks of therapy but there has been a massive improvement from May to now regarding my strength as well as my weight. The doctor told me to continue doing what I have been doing with the gym, IF and fasting. That the improvements speak for themselves. I am currently…

I am type 2 diabetic and my glucose is in control. I was making yogurt with half and half but discovered I am lactose intolerant. I have been attempting…
Any thoughts on this study?

I have started 14:10 fasting (…
Group Active?
Struggling with 16:8 fasting. Every 3-4 weeks I go on food binges & it’s terrible! Need hacks.
Got the okay
I asked my dr if it is safe for me to do 16:8 IF. I have type 2 diabetes and take metformin. I don’t go below 70mg/dL. He said it is fine and that I can have a little cream in my coffee :) I have been working my way up to 16 hrs and am going to fast 16 hr tonight. How many meals do you eat in a day? I am moving from…
