I think NEAT is a great idea for everyone...I do IF as well and do not eat from 5:30 p.m. until lunchtime..I did a workout this morning at the gym 5K on the treadmill and now as I am at work and have a desk job I get up every 30 minutes and go for a 2 minute walk plus climb a flight of stairs. I figured moving more thru…

I never understood when people say once u get older you should take it easy..I think the opposite as u age go harder!

Just read that cardiologists say that if u can get up 4 flights of stairs in under a minute that is a good sign of health and longevity.

LOL...so true, it boggles my mind when I hear people talking about someone being elderly and they are int heir 50s...I just turned 50 last year so maybe somewhat sensitive but seriously someone in their 50s I would not consider a senior or elderly.

Wow interesting for sure...yeah I recall seeing somewhere that if you walk at least 2 flights of stairs per day it can add a certain amount of years to your life.

I know I think the same thing....especially 15 years ago when I had my first root canal, you think I would have thought okay start taking better care of your teeth instead I thought well those weren't so bad(...who thinks like that! I think I thought well I go to the dentist every year for a check up so good enough. I…

Root canals are not that bad it is afterwards that is a pain, getting a crown, the crown prep is worse than the root canal imho. I have had at least 4. I now take care of my teeth way better than I used to. I brush 2x per day 2 minutes each brushing, floss and use mouthwash daily. I used to just brush for a minute in the…

Love If...lost 26 lbs in 4.5 months however since August have been hit and miss with it. So no weight loss. So starting today back at it full throttle. Want to be down 10 lbs by first day of summer

Cerave cleanser on face, witch hazel as toner. Paula's choice products after and or tazorac cream, which is a prescription product and it is used for acne and is a retinoid too and is used for sun damage as well. I am 50 and skin still breaks out so have to be careful what I use.

All or nothing way of eating/exercising. A "perfect" day for me would be eating perfectly and ensuring I got at least an hour of exercise. Anything other than that was a fail and I would then blow it for the rest of the day and start again tomorrow.

Oh my gosh..how annoying and weird of her! I hate hate hate it, when people think that eating cookies/cakes is forbidden on an eating plan. I have a friend that will say..."I am so bad, I just ate a slice of pizza" or I just ate a whole squash for dinner, I am so bad"....I hate that overdramatic *kitten*!

Same here, I lost 25 lbs doing IF nothing else, I simply skip breakfast. I did not count calories/points, etc. No interest in doing any of that. For me it worked and I like the structure of an eating window as opposed to the structure of counting or tracking calories.

Are you able to move quite a bit during the day, walk/take the steps, etc. I honestly think that moving all day long is better for you.

I have lost weight doing IF. I do not count calories but try and eat in moderation. For me the eating window is what keeps me in control. I finish dinner by 5:15 to 5:30 and do often do not until 11:30 the next day. Sometimes I will eat earlier say at 9:30 am. just depending on what my schedule is like. SInce August I have…

Thanks all, I am going to stick with the electric plus I like the timer on it as it forces me to brush for 2 minutes. I have been using the soft picks and because of that have not used floss so I think I will use the soft picks during the day but go back to flossing at night. I read that flossing is still way better than…

I love the 2 minute timer too!!

Yes mine has that pressure thing too where it stops. I heard a water pick was excellent...yes I floss too. I use soft piks as well. Maybe I will just get a softer brush for my oral b

Very true, you have to learn to avoid completely or moderate what you eat....hell I have used the weather as an excuse to stuff my face:( It is too cold/snowy, etc. so I might as well eat!!!

To the OP...seriously blowing a plan because she brought in donuts, you could have just had one and that would not have blown your plan. Yesterday I think I had a good day eating wise and I still ate one chocolate chip cookie and half a kitkit bar...still all good!

Totally agree with this...if I "choose" to eat something it is on me 100%.

LOL....sounds like a typical husband to me...taking the mother side over the wife. I don't know maybe just me but most men find it hard to confront their mothers.

Absolutely, I agree with this. I have no interest in counting calories/points, etc. I do time restricted eating and just kind of loosely monitor what I am eating most days..somedays I go overboard but whatever as long as I stay within my eating window I am not too concerned.

Deleting Facebook probably has helped many for different reasons...

That is true! Plus it is varying as well, I have been doing IF for close to a year and I tend to either do an 8 or 6 hour eating window but some stuff I read stated that it should be only no longer than a 5 hour eating window..so I guess my advice is to do what works for you. If you are someone who literally eats from say…

There is lots of good information online/facebook/books, etc. Just do a google search or go to Amazon and put in Intermittent fasting.

I don't think that is petty...sounds like something I would do LOL! Hey it works both ways. For years I would send my SIL a text on her birthday, and not once did she ever make a point to see when mine was to reciprocate so last year I stopped doing it...one time she did call me on my birthday and when I saw her number I…

I hear you, sometimes it is scary how easy it is to fall into old habits, etc. I have struggled with getting the last 8 lbs off since late summer. I do great for a week or so then have a bad day or two, etc. etc. It seems like I get down a lb then up a lb...the same lb:(

This thread is great...reminding me that I have to move more...I admit that I tend to think nothing about sitting all day at a desk because I exercise 30 to 60 minutes at the gym.
