It's all about calorie restriction, so skipping lunch would help with that, but not if you eat whatever you want during those two meals. I eat within a 4 hour window which turns out to be a snack and one meal. Been working well for me. You just have to find what works for you.

I'm excited too. Not sure he'll have a stop anywhere near me, but I hope he does. Really can't wait for a new album. :drinker:

I work in Charleston, but live an hour north.

I fast for 20 hours during the week and eat in a 4 hour window. On the weekends I fast 19 hours with a 5 hour eating window. I have been doing it for 3 months. Have lost about 30 lbs. I love it. My window is 6:30-10:30 during the week and 5:30-10:30 on the weekends. I don't get hungry at all during the day. My blood…

I"m from WV as well, born and raised. Moved out for a few years only to run back asap. Hope you are loving our beautiful state. Feel free to add me as a friend!

Also a don't knock it until you try it note for those who say they couldn't got that long without food or they would have no energy, be cranky, etc. I thought that too, but still decided to give fasting a try. I've never been less cranky in my life (except with my husband but there's no help for that :wink: ) and I have…

I was doing a 14 hour fast and lost about 8 lbs with that. Then I changed to fast 5, I'm up to a total of 27.4 lbs so almost 20 lbs in two and a half months. I've been averaging about 2 lbs. a week.

Kikor - The Fast 5 diet actually recommends eating what you want in your window and your appetite will kinda reset itself. I agree with you though. I don't trust my appetite, that's how I got here in the first place. :happy: So I still count calories and I still love Fast 5.

There are several differents ways. It's about finding what works for you. There is Leangains, Fast 5, Eat Stop Eat, etc. Some call The Fast diet (5:2) IF, not sure I would, but it is out there. There is probably a few I am forgetting. ETA: I don't know much about the Fast diet, so someone else might be better to help with…

I do Fast 5. My eating window is 5:30-10:30. I love it. I get to eat until I'm full and satisfied. I'm on my 3rd month and I couldn't be happier. A lot of people use it to get fit and cut, but it works great for weight loss too!

This is totally me. I have never been a fan of grazing. I also look forward to eating more now than before.

I'm not trying to pick on you or anything, but did your s-i-l drink anything with calories when skipping meals? You can skip a meal and still have calories. I have alot of people tell me that they haven't eaten anything all day, but they drink coffee with sugar and cream in it all day. That's not fasting. Fasting is 0…

Just to chime in I have an eating window of 6:30-10:30. I have been doing it for 3 months and have lost 27 lbs I am not starving all day, I only get hungry at about 5:30-6:00. I am easily eating what I need (calories and macros). I told my doctor I was fasting daily and she thought it was awesome (her words). They also…

Sorry we're full. I just started the group today. Not sure why it says it was started in 2011-2012. :ohwell:

Let me know if you don't get an invitation. Thanks!

You are in Sandjar. Last one!!!! Thanks for all the replies. You should receive an invitation shortly.

:happy: vicksg - you made it. 2 more

I like that Tagfit. Cpettigrew: As long as you make an effort to check in as much as you can. I'm cool with that.

6 more. I'm thinking The Fabulous Fifteen???

Also, anyone have an idea for a group name?

No Jangar21. I only eat one meal a day, so a lot of things would be out for me too. If we do challenges it will be something we can all do within our plans. Welcome to everyone so far!

Hi all. Today is my first day with this group. I too log my food ahead of time, first thing in the morning. It's pretty easy since I eat the same thing pretty much everyday. I also had a great NSV this morning. I bought a pair of jeans two sizes smaller and a couple weeks ago they were pretty tight. I put them on this…

Hi everyone. My name is Lorie I'm from Almost Heaven West Virginia. I just turned 37, married no human children but two dogs and a cat, and a niece and nephew whom I adore. I've been overweight my entire adult life. At two times in my life I lost over 50 lbs. The first time I got to 165 and then met my now husband whom…

I've been doing the Fast 5 diet for two months. In that time I've lost 16 lbs and it has never been easier. My eating window during the week is about 6:30 - 10:30 p.m. One the weekends I stick to more of a 5-10 p.m. window. I do still count calories even though I probably don't need to. I am in my 16th hour of fasting…

Actually neither. I am doing Fast 5, it is where you eat in the same 5 hour window everyday. You don't count calories. However I do count calories out of habit. I stick to 1200-1400 a day, I just eat it in a few hours. .

Congrats on your loss! :drinker: I am doing Fast 5, but really with a window of 4 hours. I love the lifestyle. It's so much easier for me than eating three times a day!

Blessed diva - This is a great Idea. Thenry - Wow! You've lost a whole person. That's so awesome! Paws - Congrats on the loss so far. Good luck on the next 30! Well I've been overweight pretty much since puberty! I think I've tried just about every diet out there. Twice I've lost a large amount of weight only to put it…

I wondered this myself. I search for women with my same stats on mybodygallery.com so I could get an idea of what they weigh. Obviously it won't be exact as body fat % and build vary by women, but it can give you an idea.

Hi. New to the group. I'm in on the challenge. May 1st weight: 226

I'm new to the group and this woe too. I'm not new to mfp been here nearly two years. Hoping this is the answer I've been looking for. My biggest challenge is I don't eat many veggies, especially lettuce, so that makes it difficult. Would love to have some new friends on this journey. Feel free to add me! :happy: eta:…
