Are you a person who generally likes big meals? I am. My sister in law eats like a bird throughout the day. I’ve done it and lost and it didn’t stick. Made me misrerable. And once I start eating I have to keep eating. If I don’t eat in the AM I can go for 19-22 hours fasted. Eat a little snack and then a nice big meal and…

WTF. This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard. And I assume said woman has hair? Why would this ever be better than packing a towel?

I do anywhere from 16:8 to 19:5. I love eating this way. I like a big meal. I still watch and count calories. Which is a lot easier when you are eliminating one or two meals a day and snacks. Eating small meals throughout the day involved a lot of prep and packing and it was never enough to fill me up. If that’s how you…

Intermittent Fasting - game changer for me. If it’s not in my window doesn’t happen. So no snacking at night, no breakfast. Keep an eye on my calories during eating window but eliminating the other times makes it easier. And cheaper and requires less prep work.

Thank you all. I will check out Withings! I was wondering if you had the $100 one or the $60. Connecting right to MFP would be cool. Need to find my BBB coupon.

Holy cow!! You have that in your house? That’s awesome!

I swear that this massage actually worked for me after a year: https://youtu.be/eW25-VqFqeI It could be that it had just run its course and the timing was there. But whenever I get a twinge I do this massage and I feel ok. I would also knuckle massage the bottom of my foot. Wouldn’t always feel good but it did eventually.…

I agree there is probably some unproven nonsense book selling out there. But what is a fact for me is that I really helps me control my calories. I’ve never been great at smaller meals. It takes a little while to get used to not eat until lunch. At least it did for me. Some people jump right to OMAD and have no issues. I…

Good luck!! I started back with 16:8 last week. The first few days were a little tough. I drank a boatload of water during fast. I'm also counting calories. I am stunned by people who do it without counting and still lose weight. Do you know how many calories I am capable of eating in 8 hours????

That is an interesting perspective. He wanted it to be hard and challenging. I've legit never thought of dieting that way. Just the exercise side. Not my thing (although I am doing IF, CICO and exercise) but it's so funny how people approach a situation. When I quit smoking 10 years ago I just told myself - this is it -…

I step on and off 3 times. Sometimes they are the same. Sometimes each reading is different. I take the lowest reading.

Have you tried starting 16:8 first? I am doing that with MFP and walking. Just started about 2 weeks ago so not exactly an expert. I think as time goes on some people close their eating window to 20:4 and then OMAD. It’s not as bad as you think it will be but you may want to ease into it. Just drink a ton of water.

Chantix. Been 9 years. In the first 3 months I also took up running and liked breathing. And avoided my friends and social situations. One night 3 months in I drank beers while all of my friends smoked and I was totally fine. Also need to have the mindset. I can never have 'just one'. Ever again. And I'm cool with it. Good…

I hit it again this morning. Not 179.9. 180.0. I leave for vacation in 2 days!!! Just give me a .1 and I promise to behave on vacation!! o:)

I've been fighting with 180 for the past 3 weeks. Self sabotage at these numbers is going to be the death of me.

I honestly don't think I would ever be capable of such a thing. But I am curious what time do you eat these meals for people who use this?

My last pair started at $120. (I've run in the same type of Nike for years for stability). I picked a not so favorite color - down to $100. Then found a coupon online. A steal at $80! I'm bummed I didn't think to buy 2.

Those kids run past me like I'm standing still.

4 mile run with horrible humidity. It was like trying to breath under water. Took some walk breaks but pushed through. Miserable. :smile:

9 years for me and until I had that mindset I kept failing. Knowing I can never ever ever have another one for the rest of my life was sort of freeing. Best thing I ever did. OP - Don't give in. Go for a run.

I went through this last month. Just couldn't stop eating. Usually that's when I give up and stop weighing and tracking and give in. Last month I still recorded everything day after day even though I was exceeding my allotted calories. And eventually it chilled and I was back on track. It's not getting hungry that gets me.…

Not that this is the answer but same thing happened to me for a few months. Before I visited the doc I went to a running store. Had gait analysis, got new shoes and never had it again. I still buy the same shoe 5 years later.

I am not lying when I tell you that this massage on YouTube worked for me. I also am very careful about footwear these days. I had it for a year. Did this a few times and it was gone. Maybe it was a coincidence. https://youtu.be/eW25-VqFqeI

I honestly moved to running because I didn't have the time to walk. After 10 years of off and on I like both. If I'm tired I will walk. Mostly I run because I work full time and have 2 kids. I've only had one time where my knees hurt and I was bummed I couldn't run. Went to a different running store and got new shoes…

I made that comment a few months ago and a poster sort of chastised me for it. Haha. I was like - ok?

There's definitely the starter stuff. Get good shoes, start slow, nobody really cares what you look like, etc. But to really enjoy running I need distractions. I listen to a lot of stuff on my iPhone - music and podcasts. And I get out for a trail run whenever I can. For some reason when I'm jumping over trees I barely…

I know they are saying it's an outage but this happens more often than it should.

I am going to second Powerbeats 3. They are like $135 and charge lasts for a long time. I think 12 hours. Sound is great and they hook over your ear. I had the Jabra sport and the charge lasted maybe 2 hours and then eventually broke within a year. PB3 had a weird thing happen where it was changing ny songs and Apple sent…

I know 4 people who are currently doing this Apple cider vinegar thing. The one told me it burns her throat. Why? Why do this?

I really like beach body on demand. I am currently doing turbo fire with some 21 day fix and some P90. And they just added this shift shop that I did the other day. I probably should just do one program and stick with it but I have been jumping around a lot. But never did the shakes so no advice there.
