I've great to read everyone's stories about their experiences with IF! I've been doing IF on/off for about 5 years now. Recently, I fell 'off the wagon' with IF and with good eating, too! I needed to be reminded of how good I felt (and looked) when doing IF and eating healthy. When I'm doing IF and eating right, everything…

I've maintained a 50 lb loss for 14 years. :smile: I still have more to lose, but as you know, it's a challenge to maintain a significant weight loss! My weight has gone up and down sometimes as much as 30 pounds (in 2020 due to Covid stress, isolation and takeout!). I lost the weight I gained in 2020, all on my own…

My mini goal is to lose the next 10 pounds. I gained 20 since the pandemic began being sedentary working/staying at home. I'm easing back into working out 2x/week and tracking my food here in MFP. I still have a lot to lose, but it helps to think of it in 10 pound increments.

I just turned 67. Between the ages of 61-64, I had a personal trainer. I raised my resting metabolic rate from 1771 to 2074, and lost 35 pounds. I maintained my loss for over a year. Then, I moved out of state, the pandemic hit, I stopped working out, and gained 25 pounds. I am starting slowly - doing workouts with Peloton…

When I started working with a trainer, he told me to eat more and I was also afraid. Being on diets my whole life, I was always thinking "eat less, eat less" to lose weight. But then I had my RMR (resting metabolic rate) measured and my trainer was right on. I started eating more, felt better, and started to lose weight…

I've lost 75 pounds gradually over the past 7 years. I am 62, and I do have some loose skin, but skin seems to tighten up over time. One year ago, I started working out with a trainer, doing strength training to lose body fat; this year, I lost 21 lbs and 5 more inches from my waist. Although I had lost over 50 pounds, it…

I am relatively new to MFP and would love to have more friends here. The weight loss journey is tough, and having support from others can help get you through the rough times (like injuries or plateaus). I'm on a journey to lose 114 lbs, down 69 so far. I made it to "Onederland" today (haven't been below 200 in over 8…
