@Freeglerock Love the pictures of your garden! @lenka1 and @xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Impressive cakes! You ladies are quite talented! @melaniedscott I have never been so entertained reading about weeds!! Thank you... I enjoy your style of writing!! That is quite a lot to manage tho. Sodium is a weakness for me as well. I don't…

I'm not overly psyched over this loss as its mostly post TOM water woosh. Also, strangely enough, both my husband and I were so sick on Sunday but with completely different symptoms. I spent the day in bed and he spent it on the couch. By Monday we felt more human again and by Tuesday pretty much back to 100%. It was so…

nstephenson01 Thursday Week 3 PW: 172.2 CW: 170 Sorry for the late weigh in @sleepymom5 and @Cafelelia. I haven't been able to access this page for 3 days :(

Nstephenson01 Thursday Week 1 PW: 171.8 CW: 172.2 Weight was down all week and then TOM arrived. Not a big gain considering so I’m not worried. Should see a nice loss next week Wednesday check in Food: didn’t log, didn’t IF but ate on plan Water: sooo much but I’m retaining big time Steps & exercise: meant to be a rest day…

@sleepymom5 Such promising news about Jim!! Really amazing progress and you were a big part of his recovery... don't forget that. Hugs!! Oh and I try to start my fast around 7 pm so with a 14 hour fast I can eat breakfast at 9. When its a 16 hour fast I skip breakfast and don't eat until lunch. Daily check in for Tuesday…

Hubby and our little camper are home safe and sound Can’t wait to get in and give her a good cleaning :) I so wish we could go camping!!

Daily check in for Monday, June 1 Food: 14:10 IF Did well all day then went off plan at night Water: Good Steps & Exercise: 21,135 steps; walked dogs, mowed, weeded and shoveled bark Did well all day and kept telling myself "don't eat your emotions". Pre-logged my food. Full day of yard work then came in and turned on the…

Welcome new and returning members!! I always enjoy the beginning of the month reading everyone's intro's and goals for the month. I'm Nancy, originally from sunny California, relocated to Montana 8 years ago, married for 19 years and have 2 dogs...a pair of Brittany Spaniels named Gauge & Willow who are my exercise…

The overeating at night is getting out of hand and I need to regain control. I do well all day but become overly tired at the end of the day and turn to food (&wine). Did my first 18 hour fast this week and it went well but its all a mindset. Yesterday I couldn't wait for my 14 hour fast to end. I need to remember that IF…

nstephenson01 Thursday Week 4 PW: 170 CW: 171.8

Check in for Monday Food: 14:10 IF. Began with a nutritious breakfast. Wasn’t hungry at lunch time so skipped then all hell broke loose. Overate at dinner (as in I ate more than my husband!!!) but I felt like a bottomless pit and never felt full. But I paid for it later. Water: ok Exercise & steps: walked the dogs; 12,618…

It was interesting to read the posts about how time consuming nurturing our health and well being is. Saturday night was our last night dipping into the 30’s (fingers crossed) so Sunday was to be moving day. My little plants would be leavng the protection of the greenhouse into the great wide open. So I’ve been busy…

Wednesday check in Bummed about my gain so took a moment to reflect on yesterday and not just shrug it off Food: too much... slow roasted fall off the bone honey tamarind ribs did me in. How I can have so much willpower one day and the next... mmm, not so much LOL Water: good Exercise & steps: 40 minute walk; 11,132 steps…

@Mrsbell8well Wow things are progressing quickly but when the universe offers up so many green lights, you gotta go with it. Good luck!

Nstephenson01 Thursday Week 3 PW: 169 CW: 170 Note to self: don’t cook ribs the night before weigh in... and eat 2 plates 🤦‍♀️. Overate last night and didn’t sleep well as I was so uncomfortable. Weight jumped up overnight so need to get back on track asap.

@Freeglerock Amazing loss and I'm glad to read that your day ended on a high note. Great job abstaining from the ice cream and what a wonderful reward to see the scale jump in the right direction! Check in for Tuesday Food: set my app for a 14 hour fast but went 17 hours before eating. Had a light breakfast of a banana and…

@Freeglerock "Pause and breathe" is the right thing to do. Sending hugs your way. Ice cream never solves anything and will just be another thing that went wrong today. Stay strong... tomorrow is another day. Way to be accountable to you!! :)

Haven’t been able to start my garden yet as nights are still dipping into the 30’s and rain is predicted all week. My little plants waiting to get out of lockdown... 7 peppers, 5 squash, 4 tomatoes, 4 broccoli, 2 eggplant and an assortment of herbs

Been spinning my wheels the past couple of days. Healthy eating has been a bit more inconsistent than I would like and exercise is hit or miss due to all the rain we've been getting. On a plus side water has been good and I've stuck to my variable IF schedule... three days of 14 hr fasts per week, two 16 hr fasts and 2…

@Mrsbell8well posts such yummy photos... while she’s on the road for a much needed vacay... perhaps share some pics of what inspires or fuels you Dinner tonight... snap pea & chicken whole wheat fettuccine with pea shoots & mint and a slice of homemade bread. My photo is not as good as Angelina’s 🤷‍♀️

Wednesday check in Food: Had a morning dental appt so did a 16 hour fast. Pre-planned my meals for the day and ate on plan. Following my appt I splurged on a Green Tea Frappe (planned). Wasn't sure how the sugar would affect me but haven't had any ill feelings. Actually didn't finish it and gave the rest to my husband when…

nstephenson01 Week 2 Thursday PW: 172.8 CW: 169 Whoo hoo... back in the 160's. Didn't have a perfect week but settling into a routine of IF and pre-planning my food seems to be working.

Oh nooooo.... @mrsbell8well. Sending good energy and healing vibes your way! Tuesday Check in Food: Had planned a 14 hr fast but... about Monday night. It turned into an emotional night, in a good way, but I celebrated with a few too many Vodka & soda's. Felt surprisingly ok in the morning but was determined to get right…

Happy belated birthday @tryingagain5 and @JillyBT @lennoncpa oh hey a fellow spice girl LOL. I like a lot of heat as well. And, no, we don't take drives often but its a way to get out of the house and doesn't cost any money besides gas which is cheap right now :) @gingerpwr I weigh myself pretty much every day. It has…

Congrats Team on a great week and especially to our biggest losers! Weekend Check In... Saturday Food: 16:8 IF Ate as planned until dinner. Hubby was out for a few hours and I wasn't that hungry so ate something lighter from what I had planned to make which I guess is a minor NSV Water: Forgot to track but think it was ok…

Friday Check In: Food: 14:10 IF. Food mostly good except for an unplanned beer. After a busy day of outside chores, hubby and I were sitting out on the deck enjoying the sunshine. I planned for 1 beer but was enjoying myself so much I talked myself into another... the bad thing was I didn't even really want it but it…

Love your post @jugar... thanks! Maintenance should be celebrated! It continues to slip my grasp but I will reach it soon. It definitely does not mean letting up or resting on your laurels. It takes diligence.

My new favorite breakfast... whole wheat toast, avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt & a sprinkle of Zaatar

Thursday check in Food: set my app for 16:8 IF but it was 17 hours before I ate. Ate as planned. Had a glass of water with dinner instead of wine. Yay me LOL Exercise & steps: 20 min Bowflex intervals, 30 min JessicaSmithTV strength training video, 40 min dog walk; 13,300 steps Water: ok but could have been better…
