39F 5’10” SW: 176 CW: 163.6 GW: ? I started IF 02/07/2022. So far I’ve lost 12 pounds. I eat one meal a day at around 6 pm, calories range from 600- probably 1200. I also drink a cup of coffee with flavored creamer at 5 am, probably 150 calories, so I wouldn’t say that I technically am fasting 23:1 due to the breakfast coffee. Soon I plan on switching to half and half in my coffee, then weening off of that, but I’m not ready yet! I’m not exercising at all yet, and on the weekends I increase my eating window from 1 hour up to 4-8 hours.
However you decide to do it, good luck!
39F, 5’8”, SW 252, CW 235, GW ?. I started at the end of January and have stuck to IF every day since.
My feeding window is generally 5-6 hours (usually eat around 1-2 pm and then dinner at 6:30ish and nothing after). A lot of times I just snack a bit in the afternoon, rather than actually eating lunch. I occasionally do OMAD. I originally intended to do 16:8, but found it very easy to push it to 18-19 hours, so I just kept that up.
I don’t count calories, but I would guess I’m generally doing between 1200-1800 calories a day; some days are higher I’m sure. I am not low-carb by any means, but cutting out breakfast helped me drastically cut my carb intake, since my favorite breakfast was always a bagel or croissant or something like that.
I walk about 3 miles a day 5 times a week and do strength training 3 times a week. I usually end up walking 12-15k steps a day.
35F, 5’6”, SW 188 - CW 170 - GW 140ish. Started 12/11 with 16/8, switched to 18-20 hour fasts in mid January and lost 18lbs so far. I probably eat between 1200-2000 calories daily, my window is always closed by 6pm.
The last month I’ve added hot yoga (while fasted) twice a week and light walking. I strongly recommend clean fasting to reap the autophagy benefits and lowering insulin. When I wasn’t clean fasting I was white knuckling it until my window opened and my weight wouldn’t budge.
Good luck on your journey!
