Thank you! What fasting do you do? I have heard a lot of people rave over the 16:8, but not sure I could go that long without eating 😂😂

@mooreshelly09 I know many who swear by 16:8 IF. We do a lot of running around which makes for a somewhat inconsistent eating schedule (extra curricular kids, work, parents, volunteer time, etc…). The idea of such a regimented eating life just kinda stresses me out too much to make it feel worthwhile. On the rare few occasions I fast I go for a 36 which basically equates to one full day alert + 2 sleeps. I’m actually feeling more alert today so it appears my plan is working.

Okay team.. I havent been the best teammate. I read and keep up but havent had great posting skills lately. Seems to be the mindset lately. I need to start logging again and get back on tracking my fasts. I seem to be stuck here bouncing these lbs up and down. I tried exercise last week and after 2 days of biking and one day of walking video the knee/leg decided it needed a week rest. What bugs me is its the good knee... I dont want to hurt it.. and I dont want to go thru another surgery and 2 years to get back to semi normal. Not sure if its knee or quad but it just sits on the front brain staring at me. I just want my body to be okay. I dont even want to run anymore (was a goal to get back to that) I just want to be able to walk bike and hike with my family without being down for a week or more. I am hesitant to visit doc cause I dont want bad news. I need to redo blood work but felt my best opportunity for that was when I was 30 lb down.. but work was busy and then I got covid... so they say to wait a bit... not to mention i gained 10 lb back.

So to start, I am going to try to do the challenge here and log and do my fasting and even if I cant exercise, I am going to try my stretching and arm weights and for now they will be my count for exercise (is that allowed?) Lets try to put my mind back even if I cant put my leg back right now.

Update: Wed 6th Jul
Track: Yes
Calories: 40 cals over
Exercise: No
Goals/Day/Comments: Legs were feeling a bit sore so didn't workout, will do one tomorrow. Got free popcorn at the cinema and didn't eat It, gave it to my Mum instead. Me 1 Temptation 0.

Regarding fasting I vary it daily so anywhere between 16 - 21 hrs. I was never really a breakfast person so easy to skip it

May I unofficially join your team? I will join in August.

I am 52, mama to 2 (one at home), teacher (I go back July 15) and have 100+ to lose.

Starting over again!

@KinstugiJoy It's fine by me, but I'm not the one who makes the team assignments. I know the moderator hasn't been in the sign up thread for several days, she may have gone away for the long weekend? If you don't get "officially" assigned to us for July I have no problem with you hanging out "unofficially" getting and giving encouragement, etc. Just realize that you won't be counted in any team weigh-ins.

You go back to work next week?!?! Is the summer over already???

Thanks! I have no problem cheering you all on. My goal is join for August.

I am a year round school, so we finished early June and kids come back July 25. We are in school 9 weeks, then off 2 (except summer).

Right? LOL I do a loose 14:10 type IF as I don't eat from dinner one day until my morning coffee around 6:00 AM the following. I get up at 4:00 but go on my Peloton, shower, get dressed and what-not before I'm ready to sit and relax for a bit before starting work at 6:30. I've tried going to 16 hours but there's no way, so going for 24 is out of the question. Only under Dr's orders (e.g. one of those >55 year old tests ) will I give up food for that long.

Yah, I normally eat dinner about 7 at the latest on spin nights, otherwise it’s about 6. And my stomach is angry talking if I don’t eat breakfast about 5:30 (I get up at 4am also). So not sure I could go till noon 😂😂

@DaffyGirl88…. Before you hear it through the grapevine, your GoT invite is definitely motivating me 😂. I talked some smack about you moments ago (below) but in a loving way. ❤️

@JbeanR0212 It's all good. 😁

😂😂😂😂 “It’s all good”…… 😳 you know I saw your other post. “Friendly competition” 😂…. Uh huh, whatever you gotta tell yourself to sleep at night. Didn’t expect a Stark to play so dirty but then again I do believe Season 6 is when we find out the truth about the legend of dear old dead Ned.

@JbeanR0212 Who's Ned? You're speaking gibberish...I've never seen the show.

You crack me up lady! I‘m a fan of the show, that’s how you roped me into another challenge. That’s also why I picked the house that I did 😉. Look up any “winter is coming” meme and you‘ll find Ned Stark at the forefront. That’s also why even though I feel for poor @KimR_1986 I haven’t tried to shift over.

@JbeanR0212 You don't need to feel for me, I am probably the most noncompetitive person you'll find around here. I just enjoy the comradery and the goals give me something to push forward to outside of my normal. If you think about the nature of these competitions you want everyone to do well, not just your team. So I cheer for everyone.

@JbeanR0212 I'm actually a lion, not a bear. Birthday in 3 weeks. Closest I've gotten to GoT is Thingvellir National Park in Iceland, where some big battle was filmed.

Ugh.. I started another pain medication. This one is for rheumatoid arthritis. I'm already taking one for lupus and one for my degenerative disks. I hope this new med isn't going to make my weight creep back up. I joined Jazzercise today and hope to attend classes at least 4 times a week.

@Naija82 dang girl! That’s a wicked step count! Great job.
