I lost 85lbs and maintain with IF. I eat from 12-7. I eat 2 large meals a day with it. But that’s just what works for me. IF isn’t necessary, all it does is help me control my night time binged and allow me to eat large meals which is my preference. It is a tool. You don’t have to IF or ADF. Do what you prefer and what…

I believe I’m somewhere on that spectrum but not as defined. I can see 4 abs, mainly when flexed, my leg muscles are separated when flexed, and you can see the shape of the muscles in my upper arms without flexing. When not flexed I have 2-3 lines on my abs and my quads are obvious. I’m 5’2”, 115lbs and wear a size 0. I…

I lost 85lbs (200lbs to 115lbs) eating from noon-7pm each day and not counting calories. I ate 2 meals a day made up of a protein, fruit, vegetable, and healthy carb. Two snacks a day as well which was usually a protein shake (I love the taste of them) and then almonds. And one dairy a day. I don’t do low carb, I just try…

Honestly I didn’t track calories here during the majority of my weight loss. I ate 2 meals a day including a protein, a fruit, a vegetable, a healthy carb and then 2 small snacks a day which was usually a protein shake and then a serving almonds. I tried to eat balanced and mainly Whole Foods. I started tracking here to…

My goal is 115lbs and I give myself 3lbs in either direction, so my range is 112-118lbs. After my period I’m on the lower end and leading up to it I’m on the higher end.

I’m 5’2”. It took 40lbs when I first started to drop one pants size, from an 18 to a 16. My last drop in size only took 5lbs to go from a 2 to a 0, from 120lbs to 115lbs. Overall I dropped 9 pants sizes and lost 85lbs, but you drop clothing sizes differently throughout the process. As you get smaller it takes less pound…

Yes. I eat from noon-7 usually

When I went on vacation twice during my weight loss, I kept losing during both of them. Even if you don’t want to be aggressive, you can still maintain. I didn’t treat vacation as an excuse to binge eat. I’m not too familiar with the options available at the cruise specifically, but you can do this anywhere. Just be…

I’m short and lost 85lbs and have been maintaining (200lbs to 115lbs, a size 18 to a 0) by eating 2 meals a day. Everyone is different and it doesn’t work for everyone, but this is what has worked for me for 2 years now. I skip breakfast because I’m not hungry in the mornings and eat lunch and dinner with 1-2 snacks a day.…

From 200lbs to 115lbs 5’2”, size 18 to a 0-2 in 18 months. Maintaining weight now. Hopefully the picture works.

When I was a size 18 I would grab size 10 pants and not be able to pull them up past my knees/thighs and be shocked. I didn’t feel that big…. Until I started losing weight. Now I’m a size 2 and comparing my old pictures is crazy because I looked huge and just didn’t recognize it. As you are aware, regardless of how you…

I bought a whole new wardrobe at 50lbs lost, I went from an 18 to a size 10. I thought I was done there but I was wrong. I lost 25 more pounds and it took me to a size 6- so I got rid of the size large tops and size 10 pants and bought a new wardrobe for size medium shirts and size 6 bottoms. Tried to switch to maintenance…

I kept losing weight when trying to transition to maintenance. I’m below my goal technically but am happy here but really don’t want to lose more, and it doesn’t seem like long but I have been able to maintain for like 2 weeks when I was consistently dropping trying to maintain for about 2 months. It’s been a slow process…

I started February 2021 so like 17 months in and I’m still slowly losing weight, although I’m trying to transition into maintenance gradually, but I’m 83lbs down. From 200lbs to 117lbs, 5’2”, size 18 pants to a size 2-4 now! Great job everyone!

I’ve hit my goal weight, from 200lbs to 126, from not necessarily purposeful IF. I usually eat 2 meals a day between noon and 7pm and it works great for me. I started purposefully not allowing myself to eat after 7 because I would binge eat at night and now the fasting from 7-noon is just what works best for me and what I…

I also think it depends how many calories your cheat meal is going to be

I lost 70 and have no butt now at all, and I always had a great one my entire life. I know lifting would help but I can’t lift heavy due to a medical condition so I just try to do squats and glute exercises but realized i would rather be 70lbs thinner with a flat butt then 70lbs heavier with a round one. I do what I can…

I’m a slow runner but it doesn’t bother me. I have been running consistently for over a year, it took me 6 months to be able to jog one mile without stopping and that was I think a 14-15 minute mile. I’ve lost almost 70 pounds in the meantime and it is easier for me to run but I’m still a 10-12 minute mile, when I’m a 10…

I used to eat out so often but now I only do if we are out for the day, so like once a week at the most is what I aim for. I just really don’t like the taste anymore or how it makes me feel. I dont look forward to it. If I’m craving something “unhealthy” it’s something more or less home cooked like chef Boyardee pizza or…

I’m 5’1” with a sw of 198 and cw of 131. I maintain around 1500-1700 depending on my activity level and when I was in weight loss I was at 1200 and didn’t eat exercise calories back.

Anyone can add me. My diary isn’t perfect but it’s open.

Brussel sprouts and Atkins latte shakes because I love the taste of them (and the caffeine)!

No I don’t have cheat meals or cheat days. If I’m craving something I eat it, I just preplan the portion size. If I were to give myself a cheat meal or god forbid day I feel like I would just binge and that wouldn’t be beneficial to me at all.

Anyone can add me, my diary is open. I lost 66 pounds the last year and am maintaining now but still logging and eating pretty balanced

I usually do from when I wake up until I go to sleep. But sometimes I do from midnight to midnight depending on my calorie consumption that day honestly, I just try to make the days balance out.

Great work everyone! Keep up the great work! I love seeing about everyone’s progress, it has been really inspirational. I went from 198lbs to 132lbs, size 18 to a 4-6 in one year.

I work in the hospital on a Coronavirus unit so unfortunately I am seeing a lot of people with it, and also unfortunately more deaths then I’m used to seeing as a nurse due to it. Also about the testing, in my local area we don’t test unless you need to be hospitalized due to the limited availability of test kits. If you…

I meant to say I’ve been weighing once a week for the past month, so I have 4 weights that are the same as my beginning weight a little over 2 months ago but I understand what you are saying. Thanks!

ThAnks for the input. I’ve been weighing once a month for the past month. I didn’t think about my scale possibly being wrong. It’s a Fitbit scale I’ve had for like 4 years and asks me to se up each time, it stays on so I have to take the batteries out each time after using it and have to move it around on my floor each…

I started only one month ago and am loving it. I’m started doing 15:9, from 10a-7p and now I’m 16:8, from 11a-7p. I’m doing it because I binge at night and find it easier to have a cut off point.
