Hi All,
Wishing all of us a great 👍 FD AND NFD😊🤞👍✨

@xamos I hope all is well with you.✨😊✨ Thank-you ✨🍀🎉🎉🎉So much for adding me to your list. It is keeping me motivated! ✨💛😊✨Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help✨ You starting and being in the group and your efforts are such a big plus for this group💛✨💛

@karlanz I understand what your saying. I’ve been finding it’s easier for me not to eat on fast days. I feel less hungry during the day. If I don’t eat at dinner than I don’t crave something at night. My body goes and stays in fat burning mode and stays there as long as I don’t eat. I drink plenty of water and have a calorie free strawberry drink with vitamins and minerals in it. It keeps me from really wanting to eat food. 🤞✨🤞

Day 10 FD

Goal this month 3# to reach ultimate weight goal of 150#

Still Fasting M-W-F, seems to work for me. Maintaining 20# loss and feeling pretty good about that!

I hope you all have a successful & controlled weekend, record what goes into your mouth even on NF days…thanks for the support and this small group.

Day 7-10 = NFD

Day 11-12 = FD

@xamos how are you doing? Your last post said you were stressed and I hope that has passed for you!

I had two FD’s this weekend due to a light stomach bug. Not the most pleasant but I am happy with how my pants fit this morning! 🙂

This is my third round trying out 5:2 and I think I’m coming to the realization that a daily IF works better for me. I’ve noticed daily eating windows bring me the most success. With that, I will be reporting FD’s for every day I stick to my 18:6 intermittent fasting window.

Day 13 – USA 🇺🇸 PA – NFD

Hi all,

Another week has passed, and its so encouraging to see you all doing so well.
This is now week 4 for me, and this is a tough one.
I fasted on Monday, but all I could think about was food all day. I was HUNGRY! It was a colleague’s birthday so there was cake in the office, and my friend even brought me in a slice. But I did not give in.
My mum was right… I really am a very stubborn person. 😀
I just will not give in.

If I decide I’m doing something- I am going to do it.

I have begun to let people know what I’m doing- and am wishing I hadn’t. Everyone has an opinion- which is fine.- until those opinions are presented as fact.
My colleague tells me it’s not good to fast and I should make sure I eat- I explain that it’s for 2 days a week, and actually there is medical researches that support the benefits of this way of life. But the discussion continues as if she truly thinks I’m going to starve myself to death- even though she sees me eat a perfectly healthy amount of food the other three days a week (I have a huge appetite).

I’ve also noticed that because I’ve let people know I’m following a ‘diet’ (in their eyes) everyone feels free to constantly comment daily on my weight:
“How much have I lost?”
“How much do I intend to lose?”
“That’s enough now don’t you think?”
“You’re looking very thin.. are you eating?”

Wouldn’t that be considered rude if I were putting on weight?

To put it into perspective, I have a healthy BMI of 24. I’m 180cm tall and weigh 75.5kg (166.6lbs) I’m not even close to being underweight.

I’m finding I constantly feel the need to defend my decision to commit to this.. Does anybody else?

Day 13 = FD
Day 14 = NFD

I’m feeling motivated these days which is a blessing! My jeans are starting to be too loose but my goal jeans are still way to small. Patience patience patience is something I could work on. 🙂

@angela80 I have found the same and also generally do not discuss dieting with anyone. It is such a heavy subject like politics or religion and frankly most people don’t know how to tell the difference between their beliefs and factual science. Add to that, the fact that people tie up their self worth in their weight (which is a whole other topic) and it makes for some very annoying conversations.

I just quietly do what works for me and let results speak for themselves. You’re right, it IS rude to comment. Try returning their questions with your own “What do you mean by that?” “Why do you want to know?”.

Hi All,✨
🌈✨Nice to see everyone’s posts. Makes me smile and helps with motivation to get through this 3rd fast day. 🌈✨

@angela80 Sounds like your doing great. I know what you mean about some people freaking out about fasting. I have watched some scientifically verified videos (on youtube) documenting the benefits of fasting also. I watch them if I can when I’m in a low period when I’m fasting. Like yesterday afternoon and evening on the 2nd day of my 3 day fast. I don’t share my fasting with everyone. There are some narrow minded uneducated people, that believe they know what’s good for me and possibly you. I basically say, “I’m not hungry” if they ask. and then later. “I’ve lost weigh.” I only weigh myself at the first, in the middle and at the end of the month. So if people ask, that’s what I tell them. If they are really sincerely interested in how I lost weight after I’ve lost it. I would tell them.

This week I fasted Tues. Wed. Thurs. I had come off a Fast of Saturday and Sunday. I chose T. W. Th. because I didn’t want to fast on Monday or the weekends. I’ve been doing a 4FD:3NFD so I will pick another day, F. S. Sun. To fast. I base it on my plans and if I feel like I can make it through that day.

I’m probably more motivated than most. I broke my Tibia last year. Still going through physical therapy. So I can’t exercise like most. Fasting is allowing me to loose without as much exercising. Plus, my niece has a wedding in June and I’d like to get my weight down fast. So far so good 😊

🌈✨We can do this!✨Let’s Do this✨🌈

3/22 FD

Hello all, sorry it has been so long! OK – 10 days of vacation and I am only up 1.5 lbs! Which today is a FD and I have no doubt it will come off. I am very happy with this as I really did not pay attention to eating at all – indulged in Cookies – Deer Valley Ski area in Utah has the very best cookies in the whole world I think and they are huge too – @ 3.90 a cookie! We had many!
Also beer in the hot tub and wine at night. So – now I am back at it, and am going to make the most of whats left of this month…

It sounds like everyone is doing well.
Congrats @Willwork on your pants getting loose.
Looks like a few of us have not been posting much – hope to see you all back on here soon,.
Cheers! Grins

Hey All,
Wishing all FD’rs and NFD’rs well!

I saw on a Dr. Mosley video that when our stomach feels hungry our brain develops more neurons and we become smarter! ✨

Happy Friday everyone. I agree, there is not a lot of posting going on. I am sorry that I was not posting during vacation – I just try to not do too much technology when on vaca. Anyway – I hope that we are all still in the game and here to give one another support!

I have had a good week! Down 3 lbs since Monday and down to my lowest today as of the start of diet…14 lbs from start in Jan. I have a long ways to my goal, but I feel like I finally have the hang of this diet and it is feeling much better. So, I made some Kale chips the other night…..delicious and like crunchy and flavorful and hardly any calories!!!!

@xamos – my fast days this past week were March 20 and 22, the rest NFD. I will shoot again for next M, W and possibly Friday…

@wellme…great job, so close to goal!
@Okaydokey…getting smarter everyday!
@hippy…where are you..r u ok? Busy with wedding???
Keep posting everyone!
Happy weekend!

Day 24 ~ Friday FD
Pacific Northwest
151.8

Weight in yesterday … down 1#
MyFitnessPal says I have logged in for 95 days! This takes time … don’t give up, keep plugging away and don’t beat yourself up if you go over the calories… I hope everyone in this group is still hanging in there. Don’t give up at the end of the third month into 2017.

Bathing suit season is just around the corner!

Happy Monday MSGAC friends!
So, weekends…so tough. I managed to put back on a 1.5 lbs…ugh! I think they will come off fast, but so frustrating. I did not eat too much…but what I ate was not good. I have mentioned before that I live in an area that there is literally nothing healthy on the menus at a restaurant. burgers/deep fried chicken whatever and lots of French fries or onion rings. I am cleaning up the house that has been closed all winter and there is no water or food, so we went out. Anyway – FD today and learn to plan!
Hope the weekend was better for the rest of you!
