@dommylifts I’ve always thought bare minimum was 1200 cals. Depending on height, age etc. Do you know your workout calories (Fitbit? ). Try adding say 1/3 of your workout cals and see what happens. You shouldn’t always be fatigued, try making a good homemade protein shake after workout to kick start your day?…

@craigo3154 Sorry, I should have been more specific, I was replying to someone who asked if IF worked for any of us. Yes, I agree, everyone is different and our bodies certainly respond to some eating habits and not to others. I have a friend at work who is diligently following Keto but only 1 pound in a year but she's…

Very grateful for this challenge. I spent most of December getting back into regular exercise but most importantly tracking and realizing how many calories I was over. So hopefully January will see me more mindful as to what I eat and keeping a much closer eye than I have been in probably 18 months.

Week 1 of January Username:- zimborunner PW:- 174 CW:- 174 Really hoping to see some good loss this month. DH is away 2 weeks so that will help keeping me in control of just me.

Good morning all! This is my second month on this challenge, only managed just over 2# Dec but was just so thankful it was a loss and not another gain. Over the last year in particular, I have just gained and gained with no control. I'm 51, 5'2", mum of 2 adults (yikes where did that time go) and wife of 1! Been tracking…

December 29 Exercised:- Yes - treadmill and a lot of gardening. I may struggle to sit down tomorrow with all the squats I did!!

QOTW I went back to work after over a year off - we moved house, from northern California to southern. I feel like I belong to something bigger than me again, contributing somewhere other than home and family. I work special ed and work with a wonderful group of people, all so enveloping, supportive, which we all need in…

Username:- zimborunner Week 4 PW:- 173 CW:- 174 Ugh, feel so angry with myself. I work so hard to lose a pound and poof, there it is back again. Not tracking accurately, always a day or two late. Christmas goodies, but dinner at home with family tomorrow and then it's over. Back on the wagon...so to speak. Merry Christmas…

@ dommylifts Not sure I really have a big meal as such. When husband is home, then dinner is. I'd prefer it to be breakfast! I've tried intermittent fasting - I don't like it and it really did nothing to get me 'into the groove'. I've been in a slump for a while! 5:2 or 4:3 - again, the lower calorie days I just feel like…
