No one has posted in a few days!!

whats new with me? i ordered one of those fat pinched things to body fat 5 because the site i was using changed and its not very good anymore. it was 10 bucks with shipping on ebay.

i went for a massage tonight and she could tell i was lifting weights and said my back looked good.

i have increased my calories to 1700... i was so hungry today half way though. i think thats good right?

i am also back to IF doing 16:8

Hi holly!

I'm not sure what "IF" is, or what the reference to 16:8 is - so, that made me curious enough to post!

I increased my calories this week. And, I'm on Day 10 of strength-training. I also got my period, today, which (I hope) explains my weight gain on Monday night! Although, I've also committed to stepping OFF the scale - and I'll have to stay true to that for awhile, or end up with multiple crying jags (which isn't very healthy...)

Hello,

I also increased my calories this past week and will weight in tomorrow. Hopefully I finally break out of this 2 month long plateau!

Thanks for writing!!

** Im actually trying the IF too...14:8...might try to push it longer. tomorrow I weigh in after 3 weeks of not stepping on the scale. Im freaked right out of my skin, but Im just gonna say a prayer and know that at the end of the day it's a number, and one variable to help me achieve my goal.

** I also ordered the fat calipers and am waiting their arrival..
Really loving my bodymedia fit....just allows me to really see my calorie burn!

Last night i decided to take all of my measurements and take photos... OMG i now pretty much hate myself. I am the biggest i have ever been and feel like an absolute whale. Im pretty sure it was the kick up the backside i needed tho but i will be needed lots of support to get through this and reach my goal.- ~what i originally thought was about 10lbs to lose has now turned into at least 15.
booooooooo x

Yay! are you going to be the 4th to enter it on the chart when the caliper comes in the mail?

you should try a 24 hour fast. i felt like that really kicked me into being able to do the 16:8. i can usually only make it to the 20th hour though i usually do it on a sat when i am out busy with errands

Just use that as motivation...to get you where you want. You are wonderfully and fearfully made, just know that you are beautiful and not defined by a number. You can do this, we will be there to help you....:-)

I like to IF about once a week, just have dinner that day. It gets easier the more you do it and the busier you are.
I have been exercising a lot lately so I'm getting hungrier.
Although my scales rarely change I'm noticing a difference in shape and definition, so that's something!

I have 15 lbs to lose, now, too....which is exactly why I want to step AWAY from the scale.



I'm going to do the caliper test, though....hopefully all this strength training is counting for SOMETHING.
