    Back at it. Went for a run last night and incorporating yoga into my routine. Diet wise I am sticking to mostly vegetables before 6pm. And even so, maybe fish for dinner.

    How is everyone? Anyone successful? Been back and forth but cannot seem to shake these pounds off, it’s incredibly discouraging. I may try intermittent fasting and/or upping my fruit and vegetable intake for lunch.

    I wasn't endeavoring to lose 25lbs, probably need to drop a max 8-10lbs to get to a good point to start a slow lean bulk phase. Managed to lose a whopping 0.9 lbs for the month of June by moving average weight.

    Fasting will actually hurt you if you are trying to drop weight. Scale back on your red meats. Increase your chicken and vegetables. Fruit will be good as well. Do not skip breakfast.

    Finally taking the steps to do this if anyone wants to join me. Current I am at 190lbs and want to be 165lbs.

    I’m about a week in in making changes to what and how I consume food and drink. Cheers
    I am!

    I do a 16:8 fast and I have a continuously steady drop in weight but I also do cardio and body weight strength training. I've noticed fasting has helped me tremendously with my sweet cravings, now they're non existent and I'm able to pass up goodies with ease. I've definitely started making healthier food choices since I started fasting and I've read many things about fasting lately that list all the other benefits it has on your body. I think if you're interested, you should definitely read up on it, I personally love it.

    Back on track. I am on my fifth day of running in a row, 3 days straight with at least 500 calories burned and adding intensity intervals in my last two runs. Feeing food and sleeping better, eating has been a bit better too and have had bigger net deficits than usual. So I am happy with this new momentum. Hope all is well with everyone!

    Thanks a lot! Upped it to one more mile yesterday and hope to get more in today. I have noticed that my stomach symptoms have vanished. Movement is essential!

    I would like to be a part of this thread. Anyone, please feel free to add me. I have a bit more than 25lb to lose but it's a good start and I like to break it up into smaller segments so it doesn't feel so daunting.

    Running still at least 500 calories a day. Somehow gaining weight but hopefully that’s muscle. I feel better at least and clothes fit better now, but I feel like I am going in circles.

    It’s been another week, and I run about seven out of the last 10 days. Still going back-and-forth about 4 pounds, not really losing it, so I think now what I need to do is have a deficit of calories at least 1000 a day.

    I’m starting seriously the intermittent fasting diet eating only between 11am-7pm. It worked well for me before and I felt great! Starting with a goal of 10 then we will see. I’m 180 now want to be 150. Baby steps!

    Ok now I am on the valley of my ups and downs, down to 180.5lbs. Now how to keep it low? I’ll try lots of water today.

    Im with you, I had lost 40lbs in 5 months on a special program which included patches, muscle stimulus using probes and of a special low calorie diet. When I ended the program they told me I had to work out (which I didn't and 2 months later 20 lbs came back). So back at the gym doing Cardio step, Linedancing (a blast), weights and water aerobics. Just joined last week and 3 lbs already gone. I cant do the low calorie diet with the exercise workouts because it is not enough calories. The diet was like 900 calories so way too low when doing workouts.

    So, I am splitting the difference now, doing the diet with a bit more meats and adding in the workouts 3-4 times per week. Down 3 so far.

    Ok back at it again. Lost about 5 lbs then gained it right back and just had a vacation where I surfeited. Time to get back on the wagon.

    I’m on board—same here, I’ve hovered between 190-195 (perilously close to 200 at times!) for years, but I’d like to drop 25. Tired of being a schlub. I’m on my fourth week of tracking and down about 7 lbs, learning a lot about what works for me and what doesn’t! Slow and steady, I figure I didn’t gain it all in a week. Good luck, to all of us—

    Was doing great losing 1-2 pounds a week for a while and now it's all stopped and I'm lucky to not gain. Kids started school back up and getting up earlier has thrown my schedule off. Trying to get back on track since I'm so close to my goal, don't want to gain anything back. Just have to keep moving and eventually the pounds will start to shed again.... I hope.
