Well went hunting for 3 days and ate a little on the weekends so haven't done the diet much this last week and ended up about 1-lb for the week. Will get back at it. Didn't get anything hunting (like usual) but had fun. Good luck all.

Congrats! Always nice to get past another decade of weight!

I cried when my two year old went into surgery a long time ago. Understandable. Hope your baby is doing well! Keep at it and when your co-workers see your success they won't be able to say anything but congrats! That was how it was at work for me.

Down to 215.0 yesterday morning. Was lowest for the week. Lost a couple of lbs this week. The coconut oil helps me a lot when I get real hunger feelings and when I get must eat cause I'm stressed feeling. I only had one day of not fasting tell 5 and that was when the boss was visiting and I went to lunch with him. My plan…

Way to go!

Thanks all! Fasted tell 5 on Friday. Saturday was splurge day at the lake. Sun and today were fast tell 5 days. Did use a little coconut oil on fast days. Bought new digital scale. Didn't like the old analog one. I cheat on the analog one leaning on one foot and it will read 5-lbs less. I don't know why I do that but I do…

Hard for me to lose unless I do OMAD (20:4 for me) at least 5 to 6-days/week. I can maintain with a slow gain doing 16:8 7-days/week but to truly maintain, I probably need to do 20:4 2-days/week and 16:8 5-days/week. I did make it tell 5:00 pm today fasted. Fasting to lunch is easy for me. Going to 5 has never been real…

When they see you lose weight, they won't think it is way out there!

Good luck!

Keep trying!

that is some serious weight loss. congrats!

I have a harder time at work due to stress eating! At home on Saturdays, I'm in the yard and I loose track of time and don't eat much. Sundays, I'm at church and doing other stuff and it's usually not that hard either.

If you have a good plan and the will, you will get there!

I only tried it once and it made me super hungry so I didn't anymore. I eat my vitamins before bed-time. You could try and see what happens.

Don't worry about one bad day. It won't make a big difference. You won't lose that day and will only gain a little fat. Most weight gain after a splurge day is food/water gain. Get back on the diet and you will be back in a couple of days. Don't be so aggressive with the diet that you can't keep it up. Slow and steady will…

Good luck! I'm interested to hear how it goes. You should immediately gain 3-4 lbs due to storing more glycogen/water and then you should continue steady losses at that calorie intake.

I think I prevented high blood pressure meds and possibly diabetic meds. I wasn't doing too well in those categories before losing weight. Now they are fine.

If it bothers you don't do it! I personally like to weight and usually do so every morn and evening before I go to bed. I also just recently taped a chart on the wall and log the weight every day. It jumps all over the place up and down but I can see a trend line through the points and it is going down so that is all I…

Good job Brenda!

Howdy all! Sorry have been gone for awhile. Been extrememly busy. I've tried a bunch of stuff (not a lot of OMAD) and have taken a break from running for awhile to let my feet feel better. I've gained a little and am about 206 right now (sw 252). My lowest was 193 (on OMAD) or about 196 without OMAD. I hit 210 on one big…

I'm trying something new. I'm eating a small lunch and then a small dinner and then run a couple of hours after dinner. I usually have eaten in a 4-hr window even when I was losing weight and doing this will shorten that eating window down a lot. I will try this and see how it goes and if not helping much I will still run…

My allergies are less severe it seems while fasting. I think I have some food allergies and fasting might help me to get some relief.

Doing any running?

Still around. Still right at about 200lbs. Just running and haven't been doing much fasting so have gained a couple of lbs slowly. Will probably do some fasting on non-running days because I'm running in the mornings to avoid the heat.

Brenda, what is your definition of mindful eating?

Mindful eating for me would be eating the house and enjoying every bite!

Very nice! Congrats

Won't hurt to try. If you don't like it, you can always change.

Doing well! A bad day or two doesn't have to derail us like you know. Just get back at it and you will get there. You've made great progress already!

Your doing well! Keep going!
