173lb today. I gave blood last week in addition to sticking to my intermittent fasting and meal plan. I was probably a bit more active too. I’m getting closer to the healthy weight zone and my goal, but most importantly I feel good in my body.

When I first decided to quit drinking last year, I weighed just over 200lbs
I’ve been slipping up here and there, but not drinking nearly the amount I used to, which I calculated at an extra 3000 calories a day in just booze. Yikes!
I’m now hovering at around 175 give or take, so still an improvement.

Hello hello I didn’t weigh myself through September and half of October. Was restricting food a bit and pretty sure my weight was dropping but didn’t want to glorify or make worse my disordered eating. Back to some healthy habits and gave it a few weeks to balance out weighed in at 197.5 lbs this week’s check in.

Forgot to log yesterday’s weigh in.
199.6lbs. And I’m happy about that.
Looking forward to hopefully more healthy weight loss with my new healthier lower cholesterol eating.

Hey everyone! Wanted to get some insight maybe on something i want to try :slight_smile: I am wanting to try Intermittent Fasting with Carb Cycling (3 low carb days, 3 moderate carb days, and 1 high carb day with my 8 hour eating window from 11am-7pm). Anyone try this and if so what did u experience? Good and bad.

I am at 240 lbs and I want to lose some. However I am concerned I might be taking on too much at the same time trying to regulate my eating and my time (my time especially is mostly spent on my new business these days).

I might be overthinking this. Still though, I want to get it out there; it is one my mind.

I am so freaking proud of myself. I weighed myself this morning as i always do near the beginning of the week. I have finally entered the 220s. I havent seen this weight in years. Not sure exactly how much i should weigh tho being 5’10". At 180 i was very thin. So not sure how low to go to feel comfortable. I do need to lose more for sure tho as im still not feeling 100% healthy. But happy with my progress so far

I hear what ur saying for sure Matt. Would even small changes to eating be benefical? Maybe diff substitutions for things. Every change begins to add up! For example if u drink alot of soda, maybe replacing that with a 0 calorie sparkling water? Thats what i do :slight_smile:

That’s a good idea. I can tell you exactly where my weight came from, and (I believe) exactly what I need to cut in order to bring it down:

Snacking. A lot of ā€œeat my feelingsā€ bingeing on sweet and salty foods, either in the afternoons or in the evening. The calories add up quickly.

Personally I think my best bet is to eat balanced meals (fruit, protein, veggies, whole grains, brown rice) but to reduce my portion sizes so I’m down around 1500-1600 calories a day. (Temporarily, to lose some weight.) Then when I’m down closer to 200 lbs - which is doable as a general weight for someone of my frame and height - then I can hit a maintenance intake, around 1900 or 2000.

The trick is I’m still in the early stages of settling and calming myself, emotionally. I think I might need to focus on that first.

Absolutely. I really struggled with emotionally eating for quite some time. I do still experience it every now and then. Idk if this will help but what has greatly reduced it for me was telling myself that I am responsible for my actions and behaviors. Not one emotion, not one person, or stressful situation is to blame for my emotional eating. It helped that i took the blame off of the situation for why i emotionally eat and instead took responsibility for my actions. It sort of made me realize that i have more control than i think. The key for me is that i began to realize that I choose to emotionally eat whereas I literally at one point, thought that I didnt have a choice but to emotionally eat to cope.
I also wrote out a list of things to do when i notice myself wanting to emotionally eat. Everything from exercise to self care to distractions to prayer. I know ur a busy man so idk how adding more onto ur plate would be beneficial but i thought id throw it out there.
