Hi! Not sure how active the community is but thought I'd make a post similar to the r/fasting daily check in.
I'll start: Been OMAD the previous 2 days and currently 23 hrs into another fast. Feeling a bit tired but otherwise okay, so might go nap to get it over the 1 day mark. Haven't decided whether to extend.
Hi there
I have been doing 16:8 fasting since 10 July. Counting calories, keeping under 1200 during the week, and under 1500 weekends. I am used to it now. Only drink black coffee and water during fast. Weight training 2x week and a booty &core class on a Tuesday.
But, the weight is taking its time to move. I have lost a kg, only for it to fluctuate up and down each day. Today, I am 900g below my SW. And I will take that as a win.
SW: 69kg, CW: 68.1kg GW: 62kg
Yess! I have similar stats and I find doing exercise can result in some really volatile weight swings. I do some weight training too but really really impressed at the classes as any cardio at all outside of a short walk makes me quite dizzy.
As you say, the overall trend line is what's important, eyes on the prize and all!
I do body pump classes 2x week and don't find they cause any dizziness. Although, my classes are in the afternoon, after I have ended my fast, so that's probably why. Good to have someone around the same stats 👌. Hope we both get to our goal weight 💪
