I used to do this...I would keep apples around for that reason. I would grab an apple for a night time snack. Haven't done it for a long time but yeah it used to be a regular occurrence.

No I am "delaying not denying" Who says anything about denying and binging???? I do not deny myself and I do not binge, I just eat within an 8 or 6 hour eating window per day.

Love IF. I just need that discipline of eating within a certain time period so for me it works. Today it is 5 5 hours eating window.

Yep...all or nothing thinking is how I gained weight!

I love chips too...sometimes it is just the whole thing around it...sitting on the couch watching garbage tv, stuffing myself with chips/chocolate, etc. Sometimes so much more enjoyable than going to the gym!

I remember some days picking up thru the drive thru going to work a greasy breakfast sandwich with a hashbrown, then at lunch a greasy fast food burger with fries and a dessert then at home eating fast food again at supper - KFC or something like that. That was around 2.5 years ago and I weighed the heaviest I have been,…

If you are on facebook, there are a lot of good IF groups as well to join. I love IF!

YOu can say that about any other diet just not IF...blood type diet, South beach diet, etc. etc. etc.

I had an all or nothing mentality. I would pick a day and then tell myself okay you are going to exercise a certain amount plus eat perfectly (in my head that would be low fat), so if I ate something that I considered "bad" I would use that as an excuse to blow it that day and start again the next day. Sometimes I would be…

That is what I did...I eased into it, I started with a 13:10 then did an 16:8 now I tend to do more of an 18:6 most days. The thing is though I still feel hungry leading up to my feeding window I just ignore, push thru it, etc. I tell myself that I will not die if I wait to eat and that usually calms my mind.

People who you listen to for years and show interest in what is going on with their kids, etc. and not once do they ask you anything about what is happening in your life and with your kids...yes coworker I am talking to you. Lovely that your daughter moved across the world to start a new life and you like to brag about…

Edmonton area!

Attitude Super Leaves Science products are awesome...considered one of the best in terms of ingredients and no animal testing as per the Environmental Working Group.

I have a few years ago.

I think for me I have this habit of longer workout is better, so i.e., a 10 km walk that takes me an hour and a half at a moderate pace feels like I have done more than a 20 minute workout at a harder pace even if I have burned the same amount of calories....this is what is in my head...once you have that in your head it…

Okay makes sense...I think though I will try and push myself a little harder even for a few minutes each workout, I admit I sometimes will hold back in order to preserve energy to carry on, if that makes sense!

It is called Myzone - which is a group heart rate tracking system.

Hi, sorry, it is cardio workout...so treadmill and the step mill machine. Yes we are all wearing the same heart monitors, it is a chest strap one. I think I have to push myself more...i.e. run sprints, today I just do a slow run for about 2 km...my heart rate was up but just in the moderate high 70%.

Thanks for the info. I have a retinoid I use that is prescription it is called tazorac cream and costs me nothing. As for moisturizer I prefer natural oils!

LOL...yeah right now I am happy with what I use, I use Cera Ve cleanser and witch hazel as my toner as well as Paula's Choice products. After I posted this I read a review and it seemed kind of hit and miss. I think I will stick with what I am currently using.

Well thanks for the helpful post:(

Yeah I think you are right;)

I knew someone that told a guy who was talking about losing his beer belly that he should watch his fruit intake ....yeah that is why he has a beer belly, he was eating too much fruit:(:(

This is just me, but if I were you, I would implement IF...so stop eating at 7 or earlier and then do not have anything but water/plain tea, etc. until at least 13 or 14 hours later. Continue to eat and drink what you normally do during the eating window, implement this until it becomes second nature and then change…

I gained the 2 lbs that I lost thru December up to Xmas. My own fault, I do IF and didn't follow it from the 26th until the 31st...pretty much ate from wake up time to bedtime. I weigh 158.5 again and my goal is by the end of January to be down to 155. THen I have just 5 lbs to go to goal. I found I felt lazy from Xmas on…

To SIL...it pisses me off to hear that you called your other SIL to wish her a happy birthday yet not once in all these years have you ever called me on mine.

Didn't do too bad until yesterday...kind of getting too comfortable lying around, eating whatever and not exercising:(

Why not incorporate weight training instead of trying to lose weight? Weight training does great things for a figure.

I am the same way....at a buffet, most people can't resist the dessert trays for me that does not even tempt me...I am more tempted by the meats/cheeses/creamy salads/buns, etc.

Looking forward to Xmas and New years over with. No reason other than that I like my normal day to day routine, when life gets back to normal. Also looking forward to longer days slowly starting as of last Friday. I find when Xmas and new years is done even though we still have two months of winter left at least, somehow…
