Exercised: rest day but I started a walk club at recess time (for my benefit but all the students followed so I made it a club lol!) and got 25 mins of walking in.
Tracked: yep
Under: yep
I’m not in for this month...but last week I was 260 lbs☹️🙁😟
Today I’m 248!!!!! I know it’s my first week back in etc etc but it still felt great. Last summer for was 223 in July...my goal is to end the summer at 199.
Good luck to everyone! Keep crushing! I love reading your successes and setbacks too...I can totally relate this winter was really rough for me!

I do if on the weekends...it’s really hard for me during the week...I need energy to keep up with my students 😶😶First week opinions on Intermittent Fasting.
The transition has been much easier than I thought it would be. I was never a breakfast eater so I usually didn’t eat til 10am anyway. I basically shrunk my window from 10am - 8pm over to 11am - 7pm.
One of the things that made it easy is I try to prep, and enter into the app, all of my foods for the next day the night before. This seems obvious and maybe I should have been doing it all along, but the smaller time window made it seem more necessary to me.
The biggest struggle has been the time window at night. I usually don't get home from the gym til 6-6:15pm. So I have been left with a short window to get dinner in. Someone here told me they do a 12-8 window. I may try that out this week so I am not forcing dinner right away just to get my last meal in.

I also do IF but switch it up every week so it doesnt get boring for me. Eating 12-8 is a good plan. It allows for lunch, enough tine to do gym or errands after work, and still time for dinner without it being super late and eating righ before bed.4 -

Well done everyone for the losses and effort stories last week - it really kept me motivated and on plan.
I've been away on a mini break and food has been off plan in quite a big way. Get home tomorrow so hoping 2 days of guzzling water and being 100% on plan will mitigate any gains at least slightly 😳5 -
Hi, all. Took some family time away from here Sunday and Monday, so now I am going to get caught up. Bear with me.4

Not sure how I lost this week as didn’t go to the gym at all or log (though did only have prepped meals). Stress? This is a lucky result. Survived my on call week but desperate for my day off (Wednesday). I have an online shopping delivery booked for then to meal prep for the week and my fiancée is away so only accountable to myself. So happy I can go to the gym and taekwondo this week!
@lozenger1984, well done on losing almost two pounds! Your prepped meals obviously were under your calorie goal, and yes, some stress may have played a role as well! Enjoy your workouts again this week!!2
