Anyone fancy starting 16 8 tomorrow?

I'd love to lose 2 stone and change my username. I found 5 2 too hard to stick to and LCHF very effective but I get bored quickly and I love pasta. Courgetti just isn't really hitting the spot. Currently 11 stone 11lb, height 5ft7. Hope someone will join me to see if this will work.

I've lost 5 lb! I can't tell you how happy I am.

Today’s going to be my first day, hoping I can last until 12 on just water but if not I’ll have to change my hours and get used to early dinner. Well done on your results so far!

Wowee Steala. Amazing. Well done.

Welcome ouch and munxx

I think I am going to try this. I tend to eat evening meal at 5.30 mostly, so I'm going to do a 10-6 window. I have five stone to lose, but I have to start somewhere. I tried calorie counting and MFP last year, but it made me obsess a bit and so i fell off the wagon after a while. This seems to be more sensible and will prevent me from eating sugary breakfast foods if i end up just having an early lunch and then an evening meal.

Just to let you all know that I have lost 9 lbs this week.

I am doing the Blood Sugar Diet which is only 800 cals a day so would have expected to lose something. I don't know how much of the loss is down to 16/8 but I do know that restricting my eating times has made sticking to 800cals possible.

Wow 9lb is phenomenal! Well done!

9lb Belinda, oh my, I can only dream of that! Very well done.

9lb is awesome well done! sadly I caved at 10am but only ate a couple of rice cakes. Had a chat to my flat mate who’s really into keeping fit and he told me he does this diet but started with 12/12 and moved to 16/8 over a couple of weeks so i may try doing that but only rice cakes/fruit before 12

Bit of a blip last night! Friends over for dinner and did not manage to stop at 8.30, nor 9.30 or even 10!

To be honest I'm finding it more difficult than I envisaged but sticking to it. Well done to all of you who are already seeing results.

Me! Did it from Jan to March and lost a stone. Now back from holiday and want to get back on it to lose last few pounds

Can I join please! I've been trying this for a few weeks now but I just keep messing up so I need people to back me up, it's my wedding in August and I need to lose some weight before it!! Help me please.

Hi looking and tiredmummy, best of luck. I always try to use a holiday as motivation, a wedding would probably work better.

Keel - keep on going and if you need the occasional break just have it. Anything we do needs to work long term, if it's too hard it won't work. I don't know if it's for me in the long run ... just hoping it works ...

Thanks for the welcome. I try to do a 12.00 to 8.00pm window as often get home from work too late to eat early. Avoiding breakfast suits me too as I find it hard not to eat carbs at breakfast (too disorganised to cook eggs or prep ahead ) Starting again tomorrow. Good luck to everyone here. I find it does work for me even though I cheat a tiny bit with milk in my morning coffees.

I'm starting today and I'm gonna way between 10-6, I'm a sahm so by the time I've done the school run, which is a 2 mile walk im hungry and I normally have tea with the dc so think this will suit me best

One week in and I lost 2lb. So nothing too exciting but if it carries on that way I will be very happy.

Can I join you all ?
I lost 10 pounds before Christmas by skipping breakfast and cutting down on carbs. But then discovered Warbutons Gluten free sour dough bread with lashings of butter 😁.
So I aim to start again with no alcohol during the week and no snacking in the evening ( this is new!).
Have started with a large glass of home brewed Kefir plus blueberries and some Stevia at 11.45. Hopefully followed by a healthy lunch at 2pm and dinner at 7pm. I have to have the Kefir on a empty stomach as I have Ibs and this really helps settle my tummy.Ironically healthy eating can really set off major issues. Which is why I’ve got so fat.

@lookingforhope I’m also doing 12-8pm skipping breakfast is ok for me but I’m starving at lunchtime and my lunch doesn’t seem to hit the sides! Although I’m 2 wks in and I can defo see a difference on my stomach.

I’m also having milk in my coffee/tea I’ve searched the web and it says this will be ok if under 50 calories as it won’t affect fasting.. so I’m hoping that’s right!

Hope this is going well for everyone. I've lost another lb! Too impatient so back to weighing every day

Doing ok so far. Starving by 10am but I am finding that I am probably eating less overall because I'm not eating for the sake of it at 7am when I don't need to, and I'm not having cheeky 9pm packets of crisps either. I'm going to have a day off on Sunday for a special occasion though.

Switching my hours to 11-7 has helped me stick to it much better and even on days where I give in early I’m finding it easier to stop myself snacking all evening.
Going to pot tonight as I’m attending a party with a lot of wine.
No idea if it’s working as I keep forgetting to buy new batteries for the scales

I gained 2 lb. oh no!

I forgot to take my lunch to work and couldn't get anything to eat untulb2pm so did 8pm-2pm! I thought I'd faint but actually I was fine with water and coffee! I've had my dinner too so I've had a really small eating window.
