Hello everyone,
I’m from AZ and happy to be part of this community .I have lost 43 pounds this year by watching what I eat and working out daily on an elliptical machine, which I really enjoy. However…now that I’m just 7 pounds away from my goal, my weight is at a stand still. I thought I’d give fasting a try, but don’t know if I can do this without a little support…so here I am!
I’m a shorty–just barely 5 ft tall , I am 51 yrs old and in excellent health. I started 2018 at my heaviest weight ever–165 pounds. I am now down to 123 pounds and feel great! I hop out of bed every morning and can’t believe how light my own body feels! I would really like to get down to 116 pounds, and feel very optimistic that fasting will get me there.
Thanks for having me here!

Hi all. I’ve been doing this for 3 weeks now and have gotten a lot of information from this forum – wondering how active this line is.

I’m 42 and started 5:2 years ago and lost about a pound a week and looked fantastic. I decided to have another baby and ended up taking a few years hiatus due to the birth and breastfeeding. I’m done having any more children and started again. I’m at 160 pounds and 5′ 3″, so I would like to be 145 and 28 inch waist. It was hard to restart again. I had to get my psyche in gear. I don’t like to do two days in a row and I never do fasting on weekends. I usually eat things like vegetable soup, chili, eggs, air pop plain popcorn, mixed berries with air whip topping, etc. So I eat really healthy, low carb, low cal foods and my body usually starts reacting. Sometimes I get headaches and feel irritable. If I keep myself really busy and my family supports me, I tend to do very well. I attribute this to being very strong willed or stubborn enough to do this. It works! Losing 30 pounds previously greatly reduced diabetes risk, heart disease, blood pressure and cholesterol. Looking for clever tricks people use to be really effective and have great results.
