awesome @Meghan509 I have a few friends who are doing the Keto diet and they just rave about it. And they have lost a significant amount of weight. They get all kinds of people to join them. I can't do it. Not sustainable. I've seen so many do it and the weight piles back on when they start eating carbs again. I need to…

Happy Monday! We were the same all eyes on Irma. My friends and relatives all fared well. Florida's new building codes after hurricane Andrew and many boarding up windows I believe made a ton of difference. I am doing a low day today because I struggled all weekend. Watermelon! That was the culprit. I cannot eat it without…

I love soup and gumbo, but it is sooo HOT here during summer we soup it up starting around November and usually have our last of soups around March/April

@Meghan509 that is awesome news. I can't wait to go down in pant size. Light day for me struggling a bit, but haven't had enough water. I found a good food find Joseph Pita bread is only 60 calories per pita along with a Chicken burger from costco for 120. Add some lettuce and pickles. YUM! for 150 calories because I only…

@Meghan509 Awesome on the half and half. I think 60 calories is worth it as well. Nothing worse than a nasty coffee, some things I just have to have. @KateNkognito that is awesome news. not being stressed but losing the 3. We took a 2 day holiday to a local beach in Mississippi and found the most wonderful Harbor View Cafe…

@jknight001 If I lift weights I cannot weigh in for 2 days after ward the water retention is so bad. If I do long cardio it is the same way. I only weigh in after my 2nd fasting day it seems to workout with fluid.

August weight loss -7.2 lbs yay

@Meghan509 Thanks for the thoughts my part of Louisiana is doing very well. We were super lucky to get in a "dry air" pocket on the east of the storm. We've had off and on rain and lots of wind these last 3 days but that is nothing this area cannot handle. I know other parts of west LA that isn't so. Sad to say we are now…

Yes just in my 4th week now I've found this group to be very supportive even in my off weeks.

Well I had to make an adjustment today. We are watching and waiting on Harvey here in LA. After flooding last year almost exactly it has brought back so much anxiety and stress. So I opted to make today a regular day 2000 calories and move my fasting to Thursday and Saturday this week. I like how it is flexible. No point…

@Marmitegeoff so sorry to hear what is going on. I hope the surgery will put you back to cycling again. My brother in law does 100 mile bike rides he loves them.

Yes I failed my not logging test :wink: So I must log my food for now and will try again later. Nothing is off the table. I fast Saturday to make up for my "fast" on Thursday--1200 calories :lol: I started logging again Saturday and today. Start of the new week tomorrow with a fast and a little sick one at home. Hope…

Oh it cut it off. Lol. I must log calories.

Well test failed

AGREE % at what point did someone talking about your weight or what you eat help you lose weight? for me never

@Meghan509 I live in South Louisiana @mamainthekitchen it is my non fasting days I feel bloated I am also dealing with the mind games this week it hit me hard like "no way can I eat this" but then I was like yes I can it is a regular day. Hopefully i will see a loss on Friday I have to admit I haven't logged any calories…

Happy Monday Fast Day for me. The 75% of the eclipse we were to see has mostly passed over us. The shadows on the ground were really cool. I also didn't have glasses. I used Nasa's website they had some great video. I fast on Monday and Thursday but I am thinking of adding Saturday. I am finding 3 full days of non fast my…

I do 700-800 calories on light days and 2000 on regular days Some days I also have a short eating window during the week only because I have never really liked eating breakfast.

@Meghan509 that is so exciting. I also weighed in today. I fast Monday's and Thursday's. I was down as well today for a total loss of 5.6 lbs since August 1st I know that may not seem like much and some may say fluid weight. Fine by me because that is weight I've not been able to move downward in the past 6 years. Since I…

Hi all Finished my Monday fast very hungry, but I work at a school lunch room during the school year and I know being around all the food made the hunger worse. Great news is I do not normally work on my fasting days at that job. It will be easier on my other job to not eat. When do you all weigh yourselves? after a…

And no I wasn't ravenous the next day after the 24 hour, but I did 6 pm to 6 pm. I have found when I try 16:8 I binge at night, but I haven't on the 500-800 calories. I've also found the more water I consume the hungrier I am (weird) so I do decaf green tea and those little true lemon lemonade packets in water

HI I'm on an actual computer now, LOL. I did my first fast day 24 hours and it was easier than I thought. Water and tea only. But my second day was 500 calories. My 3rd fast was the 800 calories. What I had originally posted was after the 24 hour fast (my first ever--even considering i've tried it for religous reasons…

Wow not sure what happened I typed a long thing and it only posted that part. Weird.

Hi I'm new here to the group not to the idea of fasting. Last Tuesday I started my first fast and I did a full 24 hours

The two of you look so calm and happy and the guy 3 rows back looks terrified, lol. Congratulations.

Oh this is wonderful. I am in the same boat we are just starting 7th grade starting to emotionally prepare for high school. Great to see this very encouraging.

I see it. On the left of the picture the belly roll is gone. And your lower abdominal area is much smaller. You are doing great.

I'm not a texture fan either. I don't eat clams, but I eat oysters fried. Have to be small though. Not those honking big ones or raw.

Oh and up your veg intake as much as you can. It will help make it softer.

Rectal Fissure can sometimes heal on their own, but i had to have mine "helped by a doctor" a few years ago. They even have a nitro glycerin type gel you put back there to help it heal. Take some sits baths after every BM if you can and use some hemorrhoid cream will help relieve some of the pain. Drink plenty of water.…
