    And now I feel physically sick and hungry at the same time. So hard to get back on track. This has been going on for 2 weeks now- really bad day then couple good ones, then a really bad. I need something to get me back on track for good! Any help is appreciated.

    Brttny7979, first of all congrats on the weight you’ve already lost so far. When it comes to binging and feeling like you’re in a downward spiral I find it most helpful to focus on your mind game. It sounds cliché, but keeping a diary/log where you reflect on the dialog that goes on in your head before you start overeating can be helpful. An example would be: “I had a really stressful day at work, at least I can have (1500 cal)pizza” or “ I’ve already ruined my diet by binging the last couple of days, so I’m having pizza”. Afterwards you usually still feel the same [insert negative feeling] but bloated as well. Seeing this on paper helped to end my weight gaining period and I hope it can give you some inspiration.

    Don’t be too hard on yourself and good luck on your journey😀

    08/04 = 155.5 CICO works :wink:
    08/11 = 158.0 going backwards ~ not exactly the plan ~ however, Feast with the Beasts was totally worth it! :D

    Hello! I am joining the game a little late, but have been making slow progress since May. It it time to take the intensity up a notch, so here I am, joining the challenge (if you will have me).

    Female - age 29
    Height 5' 3"
    Starting weight - 189.0 - Mary 2018
    Goal weight 160 (for this phase)

    9/11/2018 (weight 172.4)- I have been doing intermittent fasting since June and loving it. My problem is consistency. I tend to do really well for a week or two, then end up losing momentum. When I started in June I lost a bunch of weight and now my momentum has slowed. I find myself losing one or two pounds, here and there. My aim is to be more consistent and really evaluate why I am hitting "blocks".

    Hola,

    8/1/18: 118.2
    9/1/18: 117.2
    9/13/18: 116.4 (haven't been this weight since April)

    Focusing to be at 115.5 by end of September.



    Amanda
    4'11"
    SW 119.4 - 7/15/2018
    lowest weight 113.2 - 10/2016
    GW#1 108.9
    GW#2 99

    I should reach my GW#1 by mid-November, and
    I would like to maintain through the Holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas/NYE).

    GW#2 will be the next Challenge.

    I am focusing on reducing body fat, shaping my booty, and achieving 8 pullups (current max is 7).
    My workouts: weight-training, yoga, and volunteer farming.
    Calories: ~1200-1500

    Appreciate all help.
    Thanks.

    Female - age 35 soon to be 36
    Height 5' 10
    Starting weight. 265 September 13, 2018
    Lowest weight - 228 March 2017
    Goal weight 180-190

    9/13/2018: I have fell off the bandwagon. Life got busy and I stop eating right and exercising. Today was the first day I got back in the gym. It was only 45 mins but better than nothing. I kept up with my food intake today and been drinking water. So I am looking forward to a new year and new body!!!

    9/13/2018 (Weight 170.3)- Intermittent fasting has been going well. I'm feeling strong and motivated. This loss is probably loss of water weight/ retention. Either way I am halfway there to September goal of losing 5 pounds.

    Hello!! I hope it’s not too late to join in. Having been off MyFitnessPal for a while, I feel like I am spiralling downwards again to weight gain, headaches and feeling lethargic all the time. Desperate to get back on track again.
    Has anyone tried intermittent fasting? Thinking of giving it a go
