One in four fasters doesn't fast on holiday

Last week we asked whether you have ever taken an extended break from fasting. It would seem that, like me, many of you (28%) choose not to fast if you go on holiday - but who can blame us? Life is for living and fasting is here to ft around our lives!
Almost a third of you (29%) have given up fasting at some point for various reasons, only to come back to it. I guess that shows what faith we have in the method. I myself had to stop for medical reasons but am delighted to be back on track now.
Thankfully despite those of us who have lapsed, there are almost as many of us (26%) who have seldom, or even never, missed a fast. Well done indeed!
Various maintainers have also commented to say that they now only fast as and when they need to, in a way which suits them - such as using a feeding window or skipping meals.

Do you track your progress?

We'd like to be able to help you achieve your goals by tracking your loss, so this week's poll is about your weight loss tracking habits.

What else can we do for you?
