Busy day yeaterday, worked garden, cleaned yard for about 10 hrs straight. Rested then did a 7-mile bike ride. I hardly eat when doing yard work so that was good. Did get spring garden planted and installed a couple packages of bees I bought. Will relax today.

Nice loss! Congrats!

Very good Donna! You are really moving!

Hang tough Britt!

Good luck! You are 33-lbs down! That is fantastic!

The reason this diet has worked for me is that once I start eating, it is way harder to stop than not eating at all. Works for me!

very nice! congrats

Speaking of gout. Last night after the 5k, I was fine. Laid around for awhile and towards bed time, I was on the floor reading and tried to get up and it felt like my leg was broken. I thought maybe I gave myself a stress fracture or something. It hurt like crazy at the bottom of the tibial tuberosity (lump right under…

Thanks! I know about a bunch of these but not all so will have to look into some of them more. I think the things that hurt me the worst are: getting dehydrated, eating sugary stuff, and eating too much meat. Also I think fasting is a big contributor. I also have to watch chocolate. I don't drink alcohol, coffee, and very…

I've never done the 1-plate rule, I eat in a 3-4 hour window so I can fast all day, workout and then eat that way and will lose. Everyone is different though.

I love "hot sauce should be its own food group". That's awesome!

Be careful with those really low cal days. That is probably what brought that on. I had one of those year before last eating low carb I think and was seriously fading after running and then walking around an amusement park and had to grab a soda to revive me. Anyways keep up the good work but also be careful!

That was what got me to do a 3MAD this week! Work fundraiser selling breakfast cinnamon rolls! O well, it's not a daily habit so I'm not sweating it!

Even if you haven't lost much lately, you've maintained brilliantly. Much easier as a starting point to make another push. That is how it has been for me also. You will get there!

I like the idea of smoothies and used to make them often, usually just fruit and yogurt but a little green sure wouldn't hurt! I'm very leery of adding yeast though. I did that in college and it made me feel very strange while doing that. Not sure what was going on. Anyways, congrats on your great progress!

Eating your smoothie probably helped you indulge less. Smart move! I'm a big eater and sometimes I will eat some at home before we go to a friends house to eat so I won't get hungry eating there (most people don't eat as much as I can) while eating about the same amount as others. Thought I would throw out that confession!

@Sammy and Britt: I'm just staying the same at 196. Good thing is I'm not gaining. I didn't do my plan this week though and did 2MAD everyday (except Sunday which was OMAD) and even did 3MAD twice. I don't like doing 3MAD though and don't plan on doing that in the future much at all. They had a morning bake sale fundraiser…

Way to go Sammy!

you will get there. You're committing to a plan which is half the battle!

How do you verify no crocs in the water? Send someone in for a while before you go in? :)

Way to go Britt!

You can do it! Good luck.

Nice job Britt! Congrats.

Your doing great and thanks for the nice words. Brenda is a very good example. It can be done (maintenance)! I only tried dieting once before discovering fasting and that was eat a big breakfast, only eat fruit tell dinner then eat a modest dinner. I would get crazy hungry on that (once I eat, I like to keep eating) and it…

I think your's was the opposite of mine though with 5-omad and 2-2mad. Good luck!

Still making it happen! Congrats.

Nice! Being able to eat tell full and lose weight is awesome!

Welcome all. Please start a thread!

This last week I ate a high carb lunch which I almost never do now. I felt really bad the rest of the day, really down. I think how we eat can help us at least some. Good luck!

Eat the carbs but after filling up on low carb stuff so there isn't room for the high carb stuff like Brenda said!
