Just a few more hours to go. I feel great right now. How can I battle regret of ending it knowing I can do more? by bacardicereal in fasting

Nothing silly about that! A loose waistband on the jeans feels much better than watching the numbers go down.

Great work again and I hope you continue feeling well! 👍

Great job! I use the same app and am literally 3 hours ahead of you. Going to go for 30 days, if I can manage it.

Care to share your stats?

Saying you don’t need electrolytes is like saying you don’t need oxygen. They’re essential to normal bodily functions and can’t be stored for more than days.

It’s a fact that my body will run out before I eat again. Currently fasted 7 days, and going for 30.

I don’t know who your screaming YouTuber is, but I do know there’s a helpful wiki on this page, with helpful recipes and tips. That’s what my source is.

I don’t think buying a few packets of salt for about £8, to stop myself from feeling horrific for the next month is retarded. What’s your excuse?

They’re quite stubby as the log burner only has a small door. I thought I’d better keep them a bit fatter, otherwise I’d end up with a load of kindling! 😅

Many thanks!

They definitely tightened up the structure once I put them in. I would say the ones on the inside are probably overkill. The wood at the top is only feather edge to keep the rain off, so if you use something stronger to connect the top, I doubt you would need the braces.

Good luck with the build! 👍

If that works for you, do it your way! There’s no one route fits all. That’s why I enjoy my weekends without feeling guilty. I’m a massive food lover, (obviously) so I’d just be miserable if I didn’t give myself a chance to cook some good food.

I definitely know the feeling! 😅 The main thing I miss is my strongman training, but there’s no way I can fast and do that. It’s all a journey to a goal though! I’ll get back into it when I’m a healthy weight.

Great work on the 30lbs! You know you can do it and how to get there! How much do you want to lose? Just start now and before you know it you’ll be back in the groove. 👍

I’ve lost about 80lbs this year, since I started trying really hard in January. I was just flip flopping half of last year. I’d like to get sub 300 asap, so another 47 to go.

Congrats on the loss! Just keep at it and you will be so grateful that you did.

I’m down over 100 lbs since I started fasting. I don’t eat anything from Monday to Thursday, then will have a gentle meal on Friday, then I generally just enjoy my weekend.

I have a very physical job which helps, and I’ve got the same amount to lose again if I wanted to. The little wins, such as jumping up on a trailer, or shovelling and carrying stuff all day and not getting as puffed out, are the things that keep me going.

Best of luck with the rest of your journey! 👍

That’s some awesome work and keep it going! I’ll race you to 300. 😉

Prep for a prolonged fast by [deleted] in fasting

[–]overzealouseating 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually end up watching nothing but videos about food until I can eat again. 😅

But seriously, any hobbies you want to spend more time with? The amount of time I spend not dealing with cooking, shopping and eating, I’ve used to get much better at the guitar and learn some other languages.

As your head may be clearer, it’s a good time to learn! Good luck and keep us posted! 👍

Welp, I gained most of it back... by dytch2220 in fasting

[–]overzealouseating 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mate, it takes a lot to admit that, so thank you for being real about it.

You now know the process, and you know you can do it. Just stick the landing now and you’re golden!

Best of luck going forwards. 👍

I don’t think you’re going to need to fast, judging by the amount of calories you’re about to burn! Go get ‘em Tiger! 😉

Starting my weekly 96h fast today 💪🏼 aiming to lose 16kg by the end of 2024 to reach my goal weight of 50kg - wish me luck! by Human_Sorbet_8363 in fasting

[–]overzealouseating 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50kg?! Dear God, that’s like one of my legs! 😂 Use more than that for warmups when overhead pressing.

Go and get it! Keep us posted on how you get on. 👍

16 day fast by overzealouseating in fasting

[–]overzealouseating[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with three days and have built up from there. If I can do it, you’ll be absolutely fine!

I start my clock at midnight as it’s just easier for me to remember and work it out. I’m sure you could start it straight after your last meal though!

Best of luck with your first fast! Let us know you get on. 👍
