haha okay, i won't be participating but best to you all! :O)

I'm in! For 30 days. Starting June 1. Tomorrow! Will keep ya posted on how it goes.

17 hours - yay! Yeah, I'm aiming for more lower carb foods and veggies! But I didn't do that yesterday...gave in the the refined carb draw! :oP

Awesome! And Thanks! It will be fun to have a IF partner in crime. I would totally do 20-4 with you on those days that I don't have a pre-planned social meal in the middle of the day. My best goes out to you, too!!

Congrats on your 17 lbs loss! Yes, it does make sense to lose weight slow and steady...hehe I guess I just get impatient sometimes and lost 10 lbs in a month last December without trying...but it was also a stressful and emotional month at that...gained all the weight back this year and a few pounds more! My hope is to…

Well done on your 7 lbs! :O) That's awesome! I'll keep ya posted on how this IF lifestyle works out.. :O)

Hi! Thanks for your note! I have read that starvation mode kicks in when the body goes for a prolonged period of time with insufficient calories (i.e. an entire week,) but research has shown that within the first day or two of a fast, metabolism actually increases. IF-ing is basically fasting for a short period of time,…

I did 16-8 IFing today...could've done better but I think I was stress-eating! Tomorrow's goal: IF until 11am (I have a lunch to attend.) Second feeding window will be from 5-7pm. Record everything! :O) Thanks for your support, friends. :O)

Erindipitous, thank you for your support! Book sounds great! :O)

Sweet! Thank you for the link! Totally gonna check it out. Encouraging to hear IF-ing is working for you! :O)

Thank you! :O)

Oops and of course lots of water! :O)

Okay, gonna try it! Just coffee until 6 tomorrow...thanks! :O)

Awesome! I LOVE real data and scientific research! :O) Thanks!

Hi! It could be just water, but I'm including whey protein, coffee, etc while fasting...some days, I may also include fruits and veggies. IF-ing is basically fasting for a specified amount of time, like 16 hours of fasting, then an 8-hour feeding window. LeanGains and Eat Stop Eat websites have a lot of helpful…

Thanks Taeriel for your encouragement! I'm actually excited about fasting tomorrow after reading your response! :O)

Hi! I think I'll be changing the IF-ing up day by day. Some days I'll have fruits, veggies and whey protein while fasting up until dinner. Other days, like tomorrow, I'm just planning on the whey protein until dinner. :O) Excited! Thank your for your response!

Thanks roachhaley for your support! :O) Especially the part about not getting discouraged...that tends to happen to me so easily! But I think that people like you on MFP will be a really great support. Thank you!

Thank you for your encouragement! IF-ing until 6pm dinner will be my goal for tomorrow. :O) SInce I have difficulty sticking to one diet for an extended amount of time, my only commitments on MFP will be to: 1. Come online DAILY to share an update of how I did on my daily goal. 2. Set a fit goal for the next day. I've…

Aww, thanks for your support! I really do appreciate your response! Hehe...you're probably right about that...losing all that weight that quickly will be a challenge! Okay, my goal for tomorrow will be to do IF until 6pm and a low-carb dinner that night. :O) I'm gonna hafta take this day by day! I will return tomorrow to…
