@nimsy89 I'm sorry to hear about your injuries. Last month we had a challenge for intermittent fasting (IF). I'm trying to follow the Obesity Code Program through their official Facebook group and their schedules. I never work out, and despite the gain the last couple of weeks I'm still down 5lbs total since I started IF. I haven't stepped foot in the gym.
If you consider it I strongly recommend Dr. Fungs program.
Interesting idea. What are the schedules like?
@nimsy89 It's completely up to you. The minimum fasting window should be 16 for weightloss. Which 16 is up to you. 16h fasting leads to 8 hours of feasting. If you want to skip breakfast and only have lunch and dinner, or if you want to skip dinner is up to you, and how it fits your lifestyle. For me it's easy to skip breakfast, so I only have lunch and dinner.
For decent loss, eat the same amount of calories over a day as you would normally, but only consume them in the 8hour window you pick. Don't snack. For faster weight loss, try to go LCHF or even keto.
As you get used to fasting, you can play around and do 18:6, 20:4, OMAD (One Meal A Day), or even alternate day fasting if you wish.
During fasts you can drink water, black coffee, tea (no sugar, honey or milk), kombucha, and bone broth. Extra salt everything, and if you feel weak, have half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water to up your electrolytes. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
Note: I'm not a doctor, I'm only re-iterating what I've read and learned from Dr. Fung, and tips and tricks I've learned from doing it myself. For "official" support, turn to his Facebook Group where his colleagues help you for free with any questions you may have about intermittent and extended fasting.3 -

TEAM TRIMSTONES!
Your team chat seems pretty quiet. Team Trimstones has 30 challengers on it. In order for our group to work effectively, it requires GROUP participation. I encourage each and every challenger on your team to try actively posting and sharing with your team.
This does not only mean posting your weights each week. It is important for everyone to comment on posts, congratulate people on their victories, support them on their failures. It is also important to share your own victories and failures so that others can work to inspire, encourage and motivate you.
Finally, don't be afraid to share things about yourself. Share any special meals or meal preps, share your fitness plans, share your fluid/water intake, share your progress pics, even share whether you had a good day or a bad day!
It is this sharing and posting that allows each teammate to gain encouragement and support and to realize they are not alone in this battle and that others experience the same issues and the same failures as they do.
Please, the captains do a lot (and much time) to make your team a great team. Your posting helps his job to be a whole lot easier... And everyone's experience a better one...
Thanks
Steve (group owner/moderator)

How about giving a strength challenge where participants can choose a strength exercise (bodyweight, barbell or dumbbell) of their liking and level and perform it minimum 5 days a week?

Works for me, would you please write it up ala challenge style and IM me with it--I'll then post it? Thanks in advance!!1 -
I don't think the MFP database calories for snow skiing are valid, it's just not that taxing. That said, you do have an appetite by lunch time. New Mexico is having a much better snow season than last year's complete bust. It's nice to have snow and remain out of the polar vortex

OMG, it was in the 60's here yesterday... And New England is supposed to be cold.
An hour and a half, enough time to get those steps up by a couple thousand... Whatever you do, have a great time.

Hi Everyone
Good News! We have asked a couple of people to step up and become motivators to help out the team...

Thanks

I'm exhausted, extreme cold really effects kiddos, today has been a mad house, took me 45 minutes to convince myself to walk to the workout room, but here I am. I'm thinking a total body workout is in the plans since my unheated garage gym is of limits til it warms up
