Weekly Post 23.7- 29.7.2017
I had to get up early today to drop one of the kiddos off at grandma's house, so I forgot to weigh in this morning. Last week was not good. This week will be better! I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Weekly Post 16.7 - 22.7.2017
I almost forgot it is Sunday! I had a half pound loss this week. :smile: Going to be a careful about NFDs. I have a trend of losing two weeks and then gaining on the third. This week is the third week, so I will watch it. Everyone dissapeared again last week! I am going to assume that you are all on delightful vacations in…

Weekly Post 9.7- 15.7.2017
Guess who lost all of the gain from the week before plus a little bit more? Me! Woo hoo! I ended up basically doing alternate day fasts. May or may not keep that up, but it was enough to get me turned around. I hope you all have a great week and happy fasting!

Morning, all! So, overall, last week wasn't too bad. Only a pound and a half up. So, back on the wagon. :) I am planning Monday and Thursday fast days. I hope you all have a great week!

25.6- 1.7.2017
Hello, everyone! It is a fabulous day here! Just a little cloudy, not too hot. Perfect for sitting on the back porch on a Sunday morning. :) I am going to add in some exercise this week and see if that helps move the scales aling a little faster. The unusually cool, cloudy weather this summer has meant that I haven't gone…

Weekly Post 18.6 - 24.6.2017
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! I hope everyone is having a good weekend. :) I am down half a pound this week. Slow and steady wins the race, right? No big plans for this week, just finishing off the house and then moving on to all my other projects that built up over the school year. Wild and crazy times at…

Weekly Post 11.6 -17.6.2017
A new week! I am excited to be down 5 pounds in total. That makes 1/8 of my goal. :) The weather is supposed to be very hot this week, so we can go to the pool. :smile: I hope everyone has a great week and happy fasting!

Weekly Post 6/4 - 6/10/17
Ok, I am back from the brink of hormonal insanity! This week promises to be much better than last week. I send my kids to my parents' house and I have time to get even more stuff done! I hope you all have a great week!

I hope you all are having a good week so far! I managed to have a loss last week, so yay! Fasting today and Thursday. With school out, I have a laundry list of things to do... including a ton of laundry. I hope you all have fantastic weeks!

Meal Ideas Beta
Anyone else have this? I have used it to find new ideas for fast days. I like that you can put in how many calories you want. Pretty nifty little feature.

Weekly Post 23.04. - 29.04.17
Just thought I'd start this. :) Last week wasn't great, but I managed a slight loss. This week should be better. Planning Monday and Thursday fast days. I already have my food mapped out and most of our meals prepped. I have never been one to do meal prep for the week but I kind of accidentally fell into it the last couple…

Weekly Post 26.3. - 1.4.17
Had to start the weekly post so I can say that I lost 2.5 pounds this week! I am finally back on track. I haven't even had one good fast in a long time, so having two and doing pretty well the other days is amazing! I hope you all have a fantastic week!

What is your WHY?
I just stumbled across a post on another forum with this title. The OP was struck by the number of people that go strong for a while and then fade. Then went on to talk about your WHY being strong enough to keep you going and changing it as you progress. Reading that and some of the posts that followed made me think about…

Weekly Post 16.10.- 22.10.16
I hope no one minds me starting a new weekly post! But it has been so quiet in here, there might not be anyone to comment on it! I know I have been super busy. I really think this time of year is busier than November and December. I did manage to somehow lose .4 lbs in the last two weeks. Pretty sure that is a true miracle…

Oh, I'm fat? I didn't know!
Just got a concerned phone call from my mother. She wants to make sure I know I am fat. (You know, in case my pants not fastening and not being able to see my toes hadn't clued me in already.) Apparently, I should see a doctor. Because they have a pill for that? I don't know. This is all coming from a woman that is almost…

Effects of fasting on your brain
http://www.cosmicscientist.com/ted-talk-neuroscientist-shows-what-fasting-does-to-your-brain/ This is a link to an article which talks about the positive effects of fasting. It is based on a TED Talk which is linked at the bottom of the article. I haven't watched it, yet, but I fully intend to later. :smile:

Fasting when sick?
I have been feeling a bit under the weather lately. Not really bad, just a slight sinus infection and a cough. Went to the doctor and I am on the mend. But, what about fasting? Would it help or hurt? Opinions? I am divided between thinking it would spur my body to heal and thinking I need the nutrients to heal.

Side effects?
I have noticed that the last two weeks I have felt like I was "coming down with something" in the evenings on fast days. The only difference between these two weeks and the 8 before is that I am back to work at school. Does anyone else ever feel like or have any other side effects? I think I am going to make sure I have a…

Medication on fasting days?
I have been doing this for a while with pretty good success. My mom wants to start, but she takes a medication that has to be taken with food. Anyone have any advice or recommendations? Thanks!
