It has not taken too long, it is best to lose weight slowly and not have too much loose skin, I am sure you Don’t want surgery to remove loose skin. Enjoy your new weight, get a few new outfits, reward yourself that way instead of with food. Pamper yourself, you deserve the best. My time will come also. The Lord is on the throne! ![]()

Hello @Damaris_Njeri
How are you? I hope everything is well with you!
Hi @Overcomer
I am well.
I have been trying to get back to fasting but it’s proving difficult this time ![]()
How are you?
I am glad you are well as I was actually a bit concerned. I’m blessed thanks, just focusing on the Lord.
I was expecting you to make contact so we can make a plan to slowly get back to fasting together. Yes it can be very hard getting back on track, are you able to do really low carb or keto diet for this month and then low carb omad for October, then in November we can try fasting again. This way at least you won’t put weight on and should lose weight.
Did you manage to keep most of your weight loss?
Good to hear from you x
I have actually been doing keto since 1st September. I wanted to do it for the whole of September then start fasting on October.
I have kept most of it off. But I regained 19 pounds
Back to 200s ![]()
But I was eating healthy most of the time, just going over my calories limit I guess.
How is your health?
That’s great, I am glad you are doing keto. I also started keto today/low carb. 17 pounds weight gain is not bad at all as it will mostly be water weight. You will lose the 17 pounds very quickly and testify to that
. I can do some fasting in October but I have quite a few get together and birthday, so I can fast around it. Sounds like a plan and I will do the best that I can with the Lord’s help. Let’s check in before the end of the month and set some dates to at least start fasting. Xx
My health is challenging but God is in it and strengthening. The Lord is definitely having me release people out of my Life who are problematic and cause me unnecessary stress so, I thank him for that. I have quite a few hospital appointments in the next few months and they will want me to go on steroids for the myositis but I will refuse as per usual so they will think I am being difficult, the Lord is in control. I will be fine. One step at a time, getting rid of toxic people right now so the Lord is cleaning up my life.
Have a good week. X
Keep going and trusting God. You will get better ![]()
Still praying for you.. You will have a testimony soon

@Overcomer Hi
Hope you are doing okay.
I have started my 6 days fast today. Hoping to continue with my rolling 6 until December.
I wasn’t so good with keto
. I kept failing starting again but at least I was making sure to eat healthy.
So hear we go. Let me know how you are progressing and your current plan.
Let’s go ![]()
Hiya @Damaris_Njeri
I’m blessed thanks, glad you are back fasting. I have a couple of events to attend and my birthday also so I will have to join you in a couple of weeks. I will do the same as you for a while and see how I get on with that. I just got back from a short holiday so I need to recover.
Thanks for checking in. I will join you later this month. ![]()

Glad to hear you are doing well.
Happy birthday in advance ![]()
Sure, you can join in when you are ready ![]()
I failed
. I broke my fast and have been doing Omad until this last Sunday.
I decided I will try a long fast to Kickstart things
. So on Sunday after dinner I started a 21 day fast.
Almost done with day 2. I am hungry and I miss food so much
. But I need to do this. Hoping to get to 21 days, refeed for a few days then start my 6 days rolling fasts ![]()
Hi @Damaris_Njeri
We fall forward no failure. It can be so hard to get back on and you will succeed eventually I believe that. I think your plan is a good one, you can check in daily as we use to if you think that would help. I will be joining you next week but I will have some gaps here and there as I mentioned previously.
Keep going.![]()

Thank you for the encouragement ![]()
You are right, after not fasting for so long, it can be very hard to get back to it.
I ate again today
. I am not angry actually, just a little disappointed
. I just think that 21 days was too huge of a goal to start with.
This feels like a trial and error period
.
I have changed the plan again
. I will start small instead. I completed 3 days twice now before caving. So I think these 3 days fasts are easier for me to stick to for now.
I will do rolling 72hrs with 1 meal refeed for a month to rebuild the fasting muscle again. Then I can try the rolling 6.
Hope you are doing well!!
You are welcome!
I think 3 days rolling fast is an even better idea, I will be joining you on that next week by his grace. I think we can put too much pressure on ourselves at times, see how the Lord leads also, because it could be that you extend that to 4 days rolling fast after a month if you continue to lose weight no pressure just progress. Let’s see how it goes for sure. I’m blessed thanks for asking, irrelevant of circumstances out of my control God is good.
Blessings, ![]()
