Am again attempting fasting.
I have failed so many times because i never prep. I’ve discovered not prepping is what makes my fasts unsuccessful.
I have been prepping for 2 weeks now, eating mindful, one meal a day and eating healthy. I think that am ready now to fast.
I will use this thread as my accountability. Will be posting weigh-ins, measurements, feelings and so on. Fingers crossed i make it this time around.
Starting Weight: 275 lbs
Goal Weight: 140 lbs
Height: 5’8"
Gender: Female
16 hours in.
Feeling optimistic, not hungry or tired. But it’s too early to experience any of those.
My goal is to not think of how far i am from my goal and how long it will take. Instead, i focus on sticking to my plan, taking it one hour at a time and being proud of small victories.
Will be weighing after 24 hours.
I ended up doing OMAD the whole week. Am not mad (surprisingly). The reason is that I didn’t go all in like when I failed previously.
I watched what I ate and only ate 1 meal a day. I even lost weight.
Starting Weight: 275 lbs
Current Weight: 269 lbs
Total Lost: 6 lbs
Been doing Omad since and i haven’t lost or gained any weight.
I started another fasting attempt yesterday, 22 hours in now. Will weigh tomorrow and update.
I hope to stick with this now, especially because OMAD is no longer working for me. But I think OMAD is amazing for maintenance.
Current Weight: 269 lbs
Day 1 again.
Gained a little weight. I am determined to do better and succeed this time around.
Current Weight: 274 lbs
I’m back.
I failed again 
Anyway, I won’t start another rant over here. Am trying this thing again. I will be trying to fast as long as I can then refeed and start again.
Gained back a bit of weight.

260’s right around the corner 
here you come superstar!!!
Broke my fast on Saturday (cravings got the best of me 
)
Anywho, I’m still proud of myself for fasting that long after failing so many times. My scale stopped working on the same day. No idea what happened, tried to charge it but nothing.
I just ordered a new scale yesterday (will be arriving maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow). I am sure I gained some water weight back. I REALLY ATE 
I have started another fast right now after having dinner. Trying to go until Sunday, refeed and start again. This time I will succeed no matter what.
I will update my weight once my scale arrives.
I can’t wait 
I am sure by the end of this week, i will be there 
My new scale has arrived 
I am a bit disappointed. It seems I regained most of the weight back, My refeed was carb heavy, so it’s not a surprise I gained so much.
However, I actually lost a few inches. I just decided to measure and I was shocked. I lost 3 inches from my waist and 3 inches from my hips for a total of 6 inches. WHAT!! That’s amazing.
I started walking 10,000 steps per day when I started the fast, maybe this played a role. Am happy with that. So I did omad today (I know 
)
I have started another fast and I am aiming to go for 11 days. This is so ambitious but it’s possible.
STATS:
Current Weight: 275.2 lbs
Sabotaged myself again. Here we go day 1 again
I started yesterday after dinner, so 19 hours in.
Starting Weight: 275.2 lbs
Current Weight: 274.2 lbs
Total Loss: 1 lbs
I lost almost 3 pounds in a day
40 hours in and going strong.
Starting Weight: 275.2 lbs
Current Weight: 271.4 lbs
Total Loss: 3.8 lbs
I don’t think fasting is for me at this point. No matter how much I try, I cannot defeat the stupid inner voices that always convince me to quit and start later.
I’m starting to believe, I will never be able to lose this weight. My biggest enemy is my mind. I can’t control my mind/thoughts. I believe I have a food addiction and I use it for comfort.
Well, i will be trying again.
I tried counting calories and it’s not for me.
I have a trip in 30 days and I think this can be the motivation I need to kick-start this journey. I don’t want to be feeling tired, sweaty and have clothes not fit correctly during this trip. So I am going to give it my all and lose the most I can during this period.
I know 30 days fast seems too ambitious considering that I haven’t been consistent at all. But I think it could work. Every time I do a short fast and refeed, am not able to restart as planned. So maybe continuous fast will work.
I hope I can do this.
My fast has officially started
