Fasting Fam, the hard work of fasting and not drinking alcohol for over a month is slowly paying off. Of course there was big weight loss of around 7 pounds in the first two weeks, mostly water weight, but since then it’s been slower and steady. On June 1st I weighed 220 pounds (99.79 kg) […]
Fasting Fam, today was a scheduled down day but I had a 40th class reunion planning party to go to and I wasn’t going to pass up a veggie mezza from my favorite Lebanese place and good times. Luckily, fasting is a WOE where you can be flexible and this week will just have to […]
Fasting Fam I was able to truly enjoy and savor all of my food today and I’m again pleased with my intake. One thing I made for the first time tonite for dinner that I’ll definitely be doing again is making meatball subs with hot dog buns! I just used Walmart’s frozen meatballs with a […]
Fasting Fam, I had the worst night’s sleep ever. It’s 90 degrees here, I don’t have A/C, and my mind will not shut down / stop thinking about stressful family issues. I finally fell aasleep at 4am, only to be awoken by cats fighting or in heat at 5am. Sigh. I went to lunch with […]
Hi Fasting Family, and Happy Up Day to me! It’s been a decadent one and I’m already looking forward to tomorrow’s down day, though it could be tough because I’ll be traveling with a friend who is not at all dieting and in fact is pretty indulgent most of the time. Planning ahead is key […]
When I go to bed fasted and at some level of hungry, I get so excited about eating the next day and dream of all the yummy noms I’ll get to have when I wake up. However, when morning comes that desire for food has more often than not vanished and food seems less interesting […]
Fasting Fam I had a medium nice up day today, and am looking forward to tomorrow’s fast day, as it will take me closer to my goal weight of 150. I also like the challenge of it, and when my tummy rumbles I envision it eating away at fat and then drink some more water. […]
Fasting Fam, after all of the planning I did for the week, I learned today that our team outing will cover two days instead of one, starting tomorrow, which would normally be a fast day. Oy.. but these things happen, and I’m not going to deprive myself of this twice a year day of drinking, […]
Good morning, Fasting Fam! I weighed in at 219 this morning (started this journey at 224) With consistency I expect to be back in Onederland by the end of May. Yesterday the Harmony House dehydrated vegetable soup mix arrived and I enjoyed some after my dance workout last night. I didn’t realize it came unseasoned […]
Hi Fasting Fam! I’m 2 lbs up from my weigh-in before vacation and I’m good with it, as I had 5 indulgent eat days in a row and this is to be expected. And not to get too graphic here, but when I weighed myself this morning I hadn’t done #2 yet so this number […]
Hi Fasting Fam! I weighed in at 217 after yesterday’s down day, yay! When I started modified ADF a week and a half ago I was at 221. Tomorrow is pizza night with Dad so I’ll have to limit myself to cucumber and celery until dinner where I’ll have around 1000 calories, and then on […]
Good Evening, Fasting Fam! I walked at lunch and earned 261 extra calories, and wish I had more! I’m 101 calories over the 1757 total I had set for myself yesterday (the midpoint number between my TDEE and BMR) but I’m not too worried about it. I only had around 1300 calories yesterday so I’m […]
