This was the biggest shocker. I had no idea a serving of cereal was so small! I really miss cereal, its just so calorie dense I cant justify it.

I started IF about two weeks ago and have enjoyed it well. I started because I noticed when I eat breakfast at 8am by 10am I'm starving. Like not sure how I'm going to go on starving (ok, just a tad dramatic...). I have also noticed that when I skip breakfast, pre-counting calories, I could easily go until 3 or 4 in the…

I typically skip breakfast every morning...well I eat breakfast and lunch at the same time. Don't feel that it makes any difference to my metabolism.

I just got over the worst stall. I was stuck for like 8 or 9 days. Yesterday, I had lost 3 lbs overnight. Try not to stress to much. I usually hit a rough stall a week before my cycle starts. If you are hitting you are being honest with your logging and hitting your calorie goal I'm sure you are on the right track.

Way to go! That's fantastic.

This diet was recommended to me by my doctor as well. Borderline cholesterol issues. I'm just way to picky of an eater to figure it out and make it work for me. I've been limiting red meat to 1-2 times a month and sticking to leaner meats.

you look fantastic. Great job!

I have no idea how to share stats with others, but I'd love to! Message me and I'd love to share with anyone!

I find them everywhere. Walmart, Smith’s/Kroger, Harmans, target etc.

Just here to preach about the healthy choice steamers. OMG they are so good and really fill me up just the way they are. Love the unwrapped burrito, beef teriyaki, and crust-less pot pie. And at $2.50 a meal, I find it a great deal for something pre-packaged.

That's me. I'll join! Down 20lbs right now.

I just went back to my normal, i know what works, routine the next day. I was 7 pounds heavier Wednesday morning (we had thanksgiving with friends on Tuesday due to work). The people who hosted Thanksgiving for us did a salt brine and holy smokes, WATER WEIGHT!. As of today, I am .5 lbs away from my pre-Thanksgiving weight…

As vein as it might be, I just want to be out of the "plus-size" section of the store. I very much look forward to the day when I can buy an XL or a 14 size pant.

Good luck! Got my fingers crossed for you.

I had mine out about 4 years ago and I struggle with "Dumping Syndrome". My body says "no" almost immediately to foods high in fat. Like, we've been sitting in a restaurant I have had 6 bites of chicken Alfredo pasta and I have to get up and go to bathroom. Please god don't let there be a line. But, that's better then…

Sorry to thread jack, genuine question.....what would be a semi-accurate way to measure calories burned on an elliptical? I use an apple watch and it does estimate numbers in the 600's for me.

:) I'm 28. I'll add you!

I'm curious about this as well. I am only about two and half weeks into using my apple watch to calculate calories out and not sure if it's accurate or not. Under-estimating is fine. But, does anyone feel like it over-estimates? (Says you've burned more then you actually did?)

I'll add you. My name is Abby and I could have written this myself. I just visited my OB and he told me I was pre-diabetic as well. Then 3 days later my family doctor told me my bad cholesterol is very high and my good cholesterol is low. It was earth shattering. I have three months to see a down trend with my cholesterol…

Feel free to add me. Just getting started here. Working to lose weight but also working on getting my cholesterol down via Mediterranean Diet.
