Week 4/6 of my challenge to lose 6lbs and WOW WOW WOW I tried intermittent fasting for the first time ever this week. Before I didn’t really know what it was but hadn’t been that interested as it sounded a bit crazy to me (in that when I heard fasting I automatically thought it was days without food)
So I had my eating hours between 9am - 6pm. I’m a late breakfast eater these days as I get the baby all sorted first and I usually have dinner around 6/6.30pm so it wasn’t much to bring it forward. My big problem has always been evening snacking but for some reason this week it was easier to stop myself as there was a clear rule in place. Sounds ridiculous but true. I still stuck below my 1600 calories daily and have been working out here and there but this is by far the best weekly result I’ve had so far. It might just be my body in shock but it’s a good shock. Just 1.2lbs to lose in the next 2 weeks!
Question for others who do IF; I’ve seen most seem to do 12-8pm, is there a reason for this? Like it being more beneficial or just a lifestyle thing? Thanks!

151.2 lb Lost so far: 11.6 lb.    Still to go: 12.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
