    So after taking medications and realizing they have contributed to my weight gain, I have decided to attack this more aggressively (with medical supervision of course). I am doing intermittent fasting with a 24 hour fast two to three times a week. I did it in steps and it has been easy. So far so good 7 pounds down this month. Slow and steady will win the race here. Lets all kill it the remainder of the week and lets lose this weight.

    Ok, I’m in. This is the first day of me getting back on track, eating more mindfully and avoiding the amount and types of food that helped those pounds creep up on me.

    I weigh again in the morning hope I'm down some I've changed a lot of stuff this week. I've measured what I ate stayed until my calories but I need to start on my fat intake this week. I'm over my fat every day.

    I'm looking for a supportive group to keep me honest.
    I keep losing and finding the same 10kg over and over. I'm now in my late 50s, busy at work (no routine or possibility of one there) and I'm finding it harder to be at a weight where I feel comfortable.
    I don't want to be pencil thin, I just want to be a bit more comfortable in myself when I exercise (which I am in a good routine with).
    I have 2 goals - get on the scales tomorrow morning AND start keeping a food record. If I'm back on here tomorrow, then I will have followed through on those :)
    Please feel free to add me.
    Wishing you all well x

    I’m not one to make resolutions on the start of the new year but, I like the idea of making small changes that will ultimately help me become healthier,loose weight and get stronger. The small changes I’ve vowed to keep are to eliminate sugar and to work out at least 3 days per week. Two small challenges that I’ll need to focus on to make it work!

    How are you finding the sugar thing? It is 100% my downfall.....

    I did it in baby steps. I did 16-8 for a week. Then i start my fast at 7 pm or 8pm. It's so much easier for me to do it around this time. Also drinks lots of water. I also keep salt handy. It works for me for some reason. Lol but you'll get there if you want. Just be safe.
