Amazing!!!

Today happened to be my personal best

My prayers are with you and your family

Thanks for all the comments and tough love :D Weight loss is a journey with many ups and downs, it's great to have so many supports and helps along the road.

Joined MFP in May 2017 5'1 SW 130 CW 123 GW 105 (secret GW 98 >:) ) Daily calories: 1500~1600, fasting one day a week Biggest challenge: my sweet tooth :# Feel free to add me !

I didnt said 1200 cal, it's 1200 plus exercise cals, depending on my activity level. My avg is 1600 cals per day

Overeating after fast was also my challenge at the beginning, now I am trying to break the fast at around 9ish, no much time left for binge eating before bed :smiley: so it is pretty much under control now

5'1, 123lb. I am eating avg 1600 cals per day when I am not fasting, and has been losing around 0.5 to 1lb/wk since I started. I personally can't do 16:8 everyday, I am a hopeless snacker

That's sound like exactly what I am doing - having one zero cals day per week, the rest at maintenance rate (based on MFP). Why this is not IF? I am confused now. I am only 5"1 with a very small frame though :p

Guess It's like a full reboot of the body. What kind of IF you have been practicing? :)

OMG is this the new trend? To see how long you can go without eating. This is not IF.[/quote] :D It will be a yearly cleanse kinda thing, if my body is ok to do that. Right now I will stick to my one day per week fasting plan, since I am still new at this.

For me, IF is a very effective method to manage my food intakes. I fast one day a week, and the rest of week I eat 1200cal + all exercise cals, no struggle with food cravings.

Interesting! I will probably try a 3-4 days fast after Christmas season.

Thanks for the info on metabolic rate. I will probably try 36 hours next time, as long as it doesn't effect my sleep!

I did something more research, pretty much agree with all above. My binge eating probably was induced by eating a load of high carb foods right after fasting. Will try some food high in protein and fat.

Thanks all! Lean protein seems the way to go :)

Go to "steps" and change Fitbit as your tracker

70% or 85% dark chocolate Homemade soda : Soda water + stevia + a splash of Pomegranate juice

That's my go to meal when I am lazy

A boiled egg 70-80 cals PB2(12g) + yogurt (50g) 70 cals

I am using Fitbit to track my movements, guess that's why. Thanks All!

Thanks guys. I am eating almost 100% of my exercise cals right now, will cut down to 50% and adjust from there.
