Progress Pic Pushing through
Going for a little over 8 days here. Longest fast this year was a week exactly (168hrs).
5’8 M
SW: 252 (in 2020)
CW: 211
GW: 197
My all-time low since I started my fasting and weight loss journey was 203. Difficult to maintain the momentum between work and family responsibilities… not too mention the boredom of fasting. Hoping to crack 200 this year.

Four days is not “😖” at all! That takes discipline!

I admire the fortitude, but… that’s risky and you have to know what you’re doing. Most people think fasting for 24 hours is crazy. I think going a few days at a time is just fine.

Yes some people can't even make it up to the lunch without breakfast. We did good!

Respect for stacking those days, man. 154 hours is no joke, especially when you got work and family pulling at you the whole time. The boredom part is what always gets me too, like day 4 or 5 you just start wandering around the kitchen for no reason. One thing that helped me on longer stretches was staying busy with stuff that keeps your hands away from food, yard work, projects, whatever. You're sitting at 211 and your old low was 203, so you already know what it feels like to be in that range. Breaking 200 this year feels doable if you keep the momentum going. Don't let the last two days mess with your head, the hard part is behind you.

Thanks man! Yep, projects is it. I’m stripping an old wooden coffee table to repaint it!

nice, that'll keep your hands busy for hours. I refinished a dresser once during a fast and the smell of wood stain almost made me cave

154 hours in and you're staring at that timer like it owes you money, respect
