Intermittent fasting really works for me. I have never been a massive breakfast fan so just skip it. I can get very grumpy when hungry, but because I have planned my food I tend to be OK.
@Butterflymoonwoman there are some good apps out there that track it and hold you to account (I used Fastic but now do it automatically). One concern with IF though is that people may binge once their mealtime comes around. It isn’t a concern for me, but something to be mindful of. I am doing it for health reasons too, to lower blood pressure, blood sugars.
I am finally getting somewhere with slow and steady weight loss. The lack of alcohol calories is really starting to show. That and losing my appetite after covid. Half a stone before I am officially healthy again. Not sure what my plans are after that.
Great news @Dazercat It sounds like the move has resulted on the llbs falling off.
I am under 11 stone!! Haven’t seen the number 10 in a few years. Still shocked I let it go up so much, but think lockdown was just so crazy. Most women I know put on weight and couldn’t fit in their work clothes when they went back. Just wearing a bra was initially a challenge
I have lost 15 pounds so far, and I want to keep going. Ate a bunch of ice cream last night, but it was worth it. Goal is to work out after work today.
Monday check in for the week
Gained 2lbs over the span of 2 weeks (missed last monday). I worked out well last week too and again today. Decided tho that I’m liking how I am feeling and progressing in my workouts. Not going to fret over the number on the scale. Cuz what good will that do being upset over it. My diet is improving but there is A LOT to improve on still. I want to cut out sugar but I’m struggling a bit with that bcuz I need substitutes for sweet things fir my oatmeal or coffee etc lol I’m making progress tho. That’s what matters. And I’m being active everyday so I’m going more for how I feel as opposed to a number I want to reach on the scale. Quite frankly I will most likely never get to the weight I want when I was at my fittest. That was like 15 years ago haha and I’m 37 so I feel like my body has changed due to age
Great job with the great attitude Dana @Butterflymoonwoman
You’re feelin good! Your 91 days clean! Fuck that scale! or number for your weight! That attitude will get you where you need to be when you get there. Did you notice a few people joined that no added sugar thread? Just what you need another thread anyway. Check us out if you got time. Seems like there’s a no sugar craze happening. Keep up the great work.
So I haven’t checked in here for a few weeks but something interesting happened. I was 197lbs for a long time (30lbs overweight) and couldn’t shake it. I quit taking certain medications I was on about a month and a half ago that were giving me really bad side effects. Well, I haven’t been to the gym in like 3 weeks and I’m down to 187lbs! I think the medicine was keeping the weight on me??? Anyways, super excited to start going to the gym again. Hope you all are doing well, love you guys
anyway. Check us out if you got time. Seems like there’s a no sugar craze happening. Keep up the great work.
thank u Eric!! Maybe I can get some good tips to help me with substitutions
