Heaviest weight: 289
Ultimate goal weight: 190
Starting weight: 271.2
Nov 10: started back on MFP last week. Was on WW but I couldn’t stick with the plan. I’m scared to weigh myself hence the unknown starting weight. My goals for today are to stick with single portions and drink water. Baby steps.
Nov 11: 271.2 Finally weighed myself this evening. I’ve decided to try intermittent fasting on a 16:8 schedule. This is my first night of fasting. It’s tough because I’m so used to eating nonstop from the time I finish dinner until I go to sleep at night. I know this will take some getting used to.2 -

I lost .6 lbs this week. I was hoping for 2 lbs but I will take it. I was completely on track with my diet and exercise so I know it will come off eventually. I have started weight lifting at the gym again ( after years of hardly doing any exercise) and walking on the track for a mile. Hopefully I will be down more than .6lbs next week! I also didn't binge on my kids Halloween candy which is a huge accomplishment for me! I hope you are all doing well!2 -

Thank you so much! We're weighing in today so I'll let you all know how it goes! Been really trying to stay on point and so far, I'm not sick of salads yet...haha!1 -

I'm trying 16:8 too, but only during the week. Then on the weekends, I'm just making sure that I'm drinking a ton of water and not going overboard with eating. You got this!!!

I hope you find the Intermittent Fasting helpful, or at least incorporate it in some way that works for you and you see results. You've got this!dutchgirl188 wrote: »I lost .6 lbs this week.

Excellent! And glad to hear you're working your way back to the gym. Please have patience with yourself. As you start lifting and working out, you may see your weight go up a bit before it starts coming down. Don't lose confidence; just keep going with this. You're on the right path.

Nov 1: 193.0 Candy has been everywhere and I have partaken way too much. That is done. My knee is painful w/arthritis onset and that is impacting activity (scary what this portends). Back to better habits. Drink the water!!!
Nov 2: 192.4 Checked the xray results from monday and i'm stage 2 osteoarth in my lt knee. So fedup with more health issues. I'm already doing so much to reduce my probs. Guess this is a cattle prod (in the knee no less) to lose the weight.

I’m afraid I would go nuts on the weekend if I tried it that way. I have a tendency to compulsively overeat when left to my own devices. I’m happy it’s working for you!0 -

So far, so good! It’s been great not stuffing my face in the evenings! A little tough some nights, but drinking the water really helps.1 -

This is my first week on MFP. I started last Friday. So far, so good. I have tracked all of my calories for 5 days, drank way more water than usual, and have done a small workout every day. My goal is to lose 2 lbs per week.
Nov 3: 222 (-2 lbs)
Nov 10: 221.4 (-.6lbs)
Nov 17: 217 (-4.4 lbs)
I lost 4.4 lbs this week! I am so happy. I didn't really do anything different than last week. Stayed on track with my food 100%. I only worked out 2 days at the gym. My poor kids have been sick with a bad chest cold and now the stomach flu. It has been a rough week. Normally, before MFP, I would have stress eaten all kinds of junk at a time like this. I would have justified it to myself because I am taking care of sick kids and I deserve it. Now, I am starting to realize that I deserve to be taken care of too, and I am the one that needs to do it! I feel a lot better already. I drink way more water now, I have more energy, and my stomach doesn't hurt in the morning.

I save the bulk of my calories for dinner. I don't like feeling hungry, but I will suffer through a much lighter breakfast and lunch to feel full from dinner. It makes all the difference. If I'm not full, I will fall victim to snacking.
@dutchgirl188 I hope your kids are feeling better soon. And congrats on limiting the stress eating -- I tend to do the "I deserve" thing too when I'm exhausted or overwhelmed. And it's great when you can feel the difference in what the foods do to you -- both the good stuff, and the less good stuff.
