Good Morning! Took Spring Break off of IF and ate whenever. Resulted in eating more sugar, snacking more, drinking less water. Frankly I’m grateful it’s over and I’m putting the restrictions back on.
Day 13 into my 20:4 fasting streak. Weight has been coming off successfully till Friday, stalled on Saturday and Sunday and crept up by half a pound. It’s a little de-motivational, but I am trusting the process. I know I am eating well under my TDEE and I’ve been working out daily. Gotta be just water weight, or maybe some muscle growth.
24 hours in to a 30 hour fast, water and black coffee only. I will eat in a 2-3 hour window tonight, then get back to 23:1 for the week.
In the last 2 weeks, I’ve successfully added in 3x30 minute treadmill walks and a 50 minute Pilates class weekly and it has definitely helped move the scale! Weigh-in day is Wednesday, fingers crossed for another loss (no matter how small).
Restarted 16:8 about 2 weeks ago. Down 4lbs and feeling motivated. Unfortunately, I also have an obnoxious cough, so I’m sure I’m technically breaking the fast with cough syrup and drops, but mentally, I’m still all in.
I started 18/6, 750 cal deficit + 60 min of cardio per day three weeks ago. Hoping to be able to keep this up for at least 3, hopefully more like 6 months.
So far so good. Besides one day where I went on a date and broke my fast, I’ve been on top of things, feeling good!!
Feeling a bit unmotivated today, not seeing progress with 2 weekly 24-36hour water fasts. Anyone got any words of encouragement. Progress has been rubbish https://imgur.com/a/xlr3Vlg
I got great results last time I did this a few years back, I went down around 40lbs, this time its not going the way I expected

F 32 OMAD/20:4 SW: 181lb GW: 140lb 5’4
Another 0.8lb off today meaning 8.8lb in 15 days 🤯👏 and I don’t feel deprived at all.
My kid was up all night last night so actually struggled today so had a Pepsi max at about 11am. Broke my fast but obviously minimal calories. Counting it as a bit of a dirty fast today but still feel like I’m winning.
Going to try and load up on some protein as I want to attempt a 44-48 hour fast from today.

I made it through 17 hours without eating (yeah some of those hours were sleeping but still). Broke my fast with some tuna (2 pouches) and crackers (mayo and mustard added) and a chai tea (cold brewed).
Dinner will probably be a bunless bocca burger with pickles and jalapenos for kick! IF I’m hungry enough I’ll have a handful of fries to go with.
I’m trying to eliminate snacks from my daily life (if possible).
Lots of water and some coffee this morning!
My fasting window starts at 7pm tonight.
Just started a fast in the hopes of controlling my eczema, which is completely rampant and wrecking my life! Stopped eating at about 3pm today UK time and hoping to go until dinner time tomorrow. Keeping hydrated, feeling good and got plenty of couch time lined up. Good luck everyone!
