Happy June everybody!

We are six months in to 2020, but feels longer!? :o

I am planning to get caught up on the posts from the May thread. Will touch base again soon.

Have a great day!

    @Meghan509 I am glad you realized it is a new month, because it snuck up on me!
    I am just chugging along with my chubby self. I am doing a longer/lower calorie fast today and tomorrow. I also joined one of the MFP challenges for exercise. Gotta get moving!
    Have a GREAT month! Stay healthy!

    I'm trying to extend my dry fasts, the past few days have been Ramadan style, having a meal and water at night. I want to be losing a little faster, gonna try to go the next few days before breaking

    Hey, all! I am almost through my fast. I ended up having a small salad for dinner and then one Voortman wafer cookie. I regret nothing. I also got a small project done yesterday. One of those things that you put off for no good reason and then when you finally do it, you smack yourself because it was really easy. Today is clean out the fridge/freezers day. I have no idea what all we have in there and we are completely out of freezer space.
    Have a great day! Stay healthy!

    Good morning all!

    @KateNkognito congrats on the fast. I call it a win! Yes, we need to clean out our freezer too. Trying to keep eating stuff from it before buying more stuff, but that never seems to work. :o

    @cgcrutch good for you! I have been dealing with slow weight loss at times, but I am not ready to change things up yet and do a longer fast. Sticking with my 3pm to 9pm eating window and planning to ride it out for now. I need to let my body adjust. Been losing lots of inches. :)

    Not much else going on here. Sticking with my six hour eating window and keto WOE. Drinking lots of water!

    Have a nice one and see you guys soon.

    Didn't get the fridge/freezer done yesterday, will do today. I get to get into my classroom to put things away and sort stuff on Friday, so I am planning on fasting again then.
    We have had some protests not too far away. It is kind of tense. There was a police shooting a little while back and now all of this. We are staying out of the city for now. 2020 is one crazy year. Stay safe! Stay Healthy! Keep loving each other and try to find the helpers!

    Good morning all.

    @KateNkognito hope you didn't eat your feelings! Hugs.

    Happy to report that I am down 1.4 lbs which brings me to a total of 50 lbs lost since starting Keto in August of 2019. 20 lbs to go until goal weight. :)

    Hope everybody has a great day and a nice weekend. I am off on Monday. We are planning to spend as much time as possible outside and at the beach. B)

    Have a good one and see you all soon.

    Just checking in with you lovely ladies. I completed my 10 day fast with only one day that was a bit rough. I lost a total of 13 lbs over the whole fasting protocol I was doing and 6lbs over the last 10 days. So results wise it has been super productive. I hit the 150s so that's super exciting and uncharted territory. I've 13lbs (I think) left to my goal weight. I've moved my goal several times already so I'll reassess once I'm close and see if that's my ultimate number or not.

    Today I'm back to eating, and honestly it's a struggle. 😂 I psychologically want to eat all the tasty food, and my body is like... You're doing what now? Make up your mind crazy lady!

    Glad to see everyone is doing well @Meghan509 congratulations on another stellar loss, @KateNkognito hope you're having a better day today!

    Hi. I'm new to the group- been doing a 16:8 since Jan.1 and lost 40 but have struggled the last few weeks. I want to step it up so want to try the 5:2 and see how it goes. I still have over 100+ to lose. I see this group has been around a while so wondering if you all have any tips/tricks for starting out this new journey?

    Good morning, all!

    Welcome, @Achieve135Now! It is nice to see a new face! There are a ton of resources on this page. We are also a pretty friendly, encouraging group.

    @A_Dabauer I hope you got your brain and body all in step. :) Congratulations on being so close to your goal!

    @Meghan509 Congratulations on the loss and enjoy your day off!!

    I didn't eat my feelings, but I didn't do very well, either. I am going to keep changing things up until I find what works for me. I am doing well with the longer fasts. I think I need to start weighing in more often for the accountability. Also, I need to start exercising. I pretty much have the eating part in hand, but I have to get this flab in shape and also do some cardio to burn more fat while I am fasting.

    @mamainthekitchen, @orlcam, @cgcrutch, and everyone else: Hello!

    It is so windy today I am glad I am still a fat girl! I was going to fast today but the dog was jumpy all night because of the wind, so I am tired. Tired and hungry do not go well for me. I will take a nap and try for tomorrow. Our garden is making peas and lettuce, so I see a salad in my future! I am going to grill a whole bunch of stuff tonight for the rest of the week. I got a new accessory for the grill that will let me boil stuff, so I can make pasta and rice side dishes outside when it is hot. I am super excited! I hope everyone is having a good week. Stay healthy!!

    Hi all!

    Too funny @KateNkognito!

    Just spent a few hours this AM at the office and then went to an eye doctor appointment that had been rescheduled a bunch of times from end of March until now. :) About to have lunch.

    Things are good here. Plugging along. Sticking to my Keto WOE and hoping for a loss this Friday AM!

    Speak to you all soon. Have a great day.

    Random add... I am going for a hair cut and highlights tonight and can't wait!!! Due to the pandemic, my last hair appointment was in early March. Good thing is I really don't have any grey hair but it is so LONG and driving me nuts. :O

    Well, I wasn't going to fast, but then I walked the dog without having had breakfast and I decided to see how it goes. Accidental fasting for the win?!

    @Meghan509 Enjoy your haircut! I missed my annual appointment because of the virus, but now I am thinking I might just skip this year and see how long it gets. Great excuse for new hair accessories, right?

    Have a great day, everyone! Stay healthy!

    I'm feeling hopeless :( I do all this fasting and it seems any time I eat ANYTHING I go right back to square one! Yesterday I dry fasted all day and ate 2 boiled eggs, some quest chips and 2 cups of green beans with a tablespoon of fat to cook... HOW am I gaining weight from that?? I merely THOUGHT about ordering takeout but decided not to backslide so I wouldn't gain weight. Still gained weight, over a pound. Like the fasting did NOTHING and the keto food was the pizza I wanted it to be. UGH!
