I think we may have all stumbled at some point before getting to our final quit. Glad you've decided to start over again @darcy We would like to hear from all the newcomers - please introduce yourselves. You'll find lots of support here.

This is becoming a soliloquy but want to maintain a journal ... Completed the 3rd 2-day fast and feel the body should be ready for a 3-day fast now. Need to decide if that can happen next week or allow 2 weeks gap. Sometime in the future need to also decide if weekly 2-day fasts are needed or would it be better to do 3-day fasts at a lower frequency - once a month?

There are both the negative reasons - don't want bad things to happen ... and the positive reasons - want good things to happen. Mine was the 2nd - wanted to be able to take long deep breaths without coughing, being able to run and ride. What was yours?

Nope!

Congratulations on 4 months @Dianne

Nope!

Congratulations on 5 months, @Gus You're doing great.

3 weeks now of omad, feels great. Twice did 2-day fasts and hopefully the body is getting conditioned for the 3-day fast - maybe in week 5. Waistline has gone down for sure and probably some weight as well (but haven't measured). Needing to buy a new belt is kind of cool although I don't like spending the money. Perhaps punch new holes in the old belt. Did a 16k run today, about half of it uphill finishing with a stair climb of 390 steps. Was totally exhausted at the end as I haven't done anything over 10k in months.

Congrats @AceWhite, looks like a nice event.

All the best with the swim @AceWhite. You're acing this quit.

Nope!

That's a pretty brisk pace @Katgirl on incline too. Losing weight is tricky - the body is kinda stubborn about maintaining the sticky weight. Consistent workout should show changes in inches and general physical improvement. Maybe see if there's room to make some changes in the kitchen? Carbs, sugars, snacks, portions ...

Just finished eating after 48hrs. Had some store bought bone broth from a carton but don't think my tummy liked it. Maybe I'll try to make some. It takes time to eat now as there's lots to eat plus I eat slow enjoying each bite. For a lazy person, this is great. Just eat lots once and don't bother for the next day (or 2).

Congratulations on 3 months @Katgirl. How about a race to the Everest before the year mark ...

Nope!

Into the 2nd 48hr fast. This was totally unplanned. Didn't feel hungry (and was bored) so decided to skip today's meal. Did the stairs late evening - 6 rounds and felt a bit dizzy around step 50 of 7th round so decided to end it there. It's hot and love humidity is in the air ....

Congratulations on 7 months @Linda
