@mulecanter what about using your favorite movie or book character or real life person and post a food you ate or drink for each initial of their name such as:
Mushrooms
Unsalted peanuts
Lettuce
Eggs
Carrot
Apple
Noodles
Tea
Edamame
Raspberries
Could do it daily or for the week.0 -

@nimsy89 I'm sorry to hear about your injuries. Last month we had a challenge for intermittent fasting (IF). I'm trying to follow the Obesity Code Program through their official Facebook group and their schedules. I never work out, and despite the gain the last couple of weeks I'm still down 5lbs total since I started IF. I haven't stepped foot in the gym.
If you consider it I strongly recommend Dr. Fungs program.
Interesting idea. What are the schedules like?
@nimsy89 It's completely up to you. The minimum fasting window should be 16 for weightloss. Which 16 is up to you. 16h fasting leads to 8 hours of feasting. If you want to skip breakfast and only have lunch and dinner, or if you want to skip dinner is up to you, and how it fits your lifestyle. For me it's easy to skip breakfast, so I only have lunch and dinner.
For decent loss, eat the same amount of calories over a day as you would normally, but only consume them in the 8hour window you pick. Don't snack. For faster weight loss, try to go LCHF or even keto.
As you get used to fasting, you can play around and do 18:6, 20:4, OMAD (One Meal A Day), or even alternate day fasting if you wish.
During fasts you can drink water, black coffee, tea (no sugar, honey or milk), kombucha, and bone broth. Extra salt everything, and if you feel weak, have half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water to up your electrolytes. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
Note: I'm not a doctor, I'm only re-iterating what I've read and learned from Dr. Fung, and tips and tricks I've learned from doing it myself. For "official" support, turn to his Facebook Group where his colleagues help you for free with any questions you may have about intermittent and extended fasting.
Thanks for taking the time to provide that info, it sounds pretty doable. I might give it a shot further into my weightloss journey.
I went to see a doctor and got prescribed some pain meds and told to stay away from the gym for 2 weeks lol, but I can already feel myself improving. So hopefully I can be active again soon.
In the meantime, my diet has stayed on track this week so far. I do have a friend's 30th birthday to celebrate this weekend, though, and it's very standard for them to provide KFC or pizza and beer when they have friends over. I'm hoping because it's their 30th they do something a bit less junk food-y but who knows. Anyone have any tips for managing this?2 -
@mulecanter Here's another idea for the challenge? Obviously could toy around with the tasks if they seem silly/overboard.
We could score this out of 10 points: 1 point per letter you complete + 2 extra points for completing all letters to spell out FEBRUARY.
Footsteps to exceed 70,000 steps for the week.
Exercise 2 hours more than you did last week.
Be hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day.
Remind yourself why you're doing this by creating a vision board. Include old pictures of your fitter self, the clothes you want to fit into, the things you want to do with your increased strength etc. Keep it somewhere you can look at it when you're feeling weak.
Urge your fellow F2F friends on by sending at least 7 motivational replies this week.
Attempt a new healthy recipe.
Rest your body by getting 8 hours of sleep per night.
Yell compliments at yourself in the mirror at least twice this week.

Dang! I've seen 149 twice in the past week, but it hasn't stuck yet! I seem to be retaining water right now, which isn't helping, either.2 -
@JesusGirl62 and @nimsy89 thanks for the challenge ideas. I have the February idea ready thanks to @mustb60 and I have a March idea from Captain @jessicakrall8 . Please put your challenge ideas in the fridge, we will get to them in April-May. Of course this means you are contractually obligated to stay on the team until summer.6

@mulecanter I'm not going anywhere. And I'll try to be more active in posting instead of dumping my weight and steps and running off.2

Today is cardio day so I should get some decent steps in hopefully. I so cant wait for the weather to warm up a bit, today we may come out of the negatives for a bit, but that doesnt include wind chill3 -
I've had a cold this week and have had zero motivation or energy. This morning my scale reminded me that even with a cold I CAN control what I eat. SO, here I am, committing to logging everything and getting my step goal at a minimum. My weigh in day is tomorrow and I'm dreading it!

Hydrology Report: I've lost 8 pounds (1 gallon of H2O) since Monday. Salt-induced water retention>>>workouts without drinking afterward. I expect to rebound prior to my next Monday weigh-in as weekends are alway dangerous. That is all.3

Unfortunately got a leg sprain as I tried a Yoga pose stubbornly. Now will have to rest and postpone lifting for a few days. And I was already planning to up my deadlift today! 😭4

It has been such a nice change to be able to walk outside the last 3 days. But alas winter returns to Georgia this weekend.
Hope everyone has a great Friday.1 -

good lord today, haha. My husband works on the opposite end of town from where we live, and forgot the key to unlock the car (engine was switched over about 15 years ago so no takes one key to start it, and another to unlock it) so I had to run it to him before work, and though, Its friday, since im here, im stopping for a good coffee which is a rar treat for me, and is around 400 calories. Finally get to work, and the principle bought us bagels for dealing with kids who have been cooped up inside for 3 days because it was around 25 below 0. so I had one of those, it was so good, but 480 calories, oops. My lunch is only 300 calories though, and im doing yoga after work (its very slow paced though, a lot of older ladies go to it, but its at my work and only $10 a month) and its going to be 20 degrees today, so I may be able to run tonight if im home early enough, so it will be ok.
A first grader stopped and gave me a little bag of cheez-its this morning because I "look like I need a snack" It was cute, I took it to be nice, but I dont plan on eating them since ive already had enough for today, haha.
