That's so awesome!!! I have definitely noticed my cravings decreasing which is really nice! I'm so happy it has been going well for you!

I decreased a little bit but still had the cravings and found myself just really hungry. I have seemed to fill up a lot faster now with the 16:8 and cravings have diminished and I have noticed feeling less bloated when waking up and digestion has been less sluggish. I get quite a bit of protein in during the day and also…

That's awesome! That's great that it has helped for you in that aspect! I'm sure it's most likely just made me more mindful and helps slow me down with meals and not have an automatic "it's 7:30 better have breakfast just because of the time". I think it has made me focus more on my hunger cues.

I'm looking for both which doesn't help I know. I'm hoping it'll just generally help me feel less sluggish and if it happens to help me get to my goal then yay :). So far it has helped cravings and bloating lessen. I'm not looking for it as the answer to anything but just a tool that helps aid things along I guess and…

I appreciate your response and I really am truly asking about anything I guess. I've noticed that cravings have diminished for me so I am just generally curious :). Thank you for your response!

I shouldn't have had as much trail mix as I did 🤢

"Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps" I get that some people need tough love but I find it insensitive a lot of the time that it's used. 🤷‍♀️

Oh man, I wish that one were true! Hmmm...50? Again, I'm terrible :D

43? I'm terrible at ages so I apologize if I'm way wrong!

Thank you so much! I will definitely pull my food scale out! Congrats on the amazing loss! That is so awesome! :) And congratulations on the little one!!

Thank you for sharing that with me! I will definitely be pulling the food scale out and using it! Thank you so much!

I'm sorry! I know that it is so frustrating! I've been trying to mix up my workouts to see if it will help and I've noticed a little more tone but the scale isn't budging too much for me either. I haven't spoken to a doctor yet, what about you? I figured everything would be good - I didn't realize stuff could still be…

It's nice to know I'm not alone but I'm sorry that you are going through this too! It's definitely frustrating! Yes, my stamina and energy has not bounced back either and I used to have pretty good endurance, I feel you! I work out when I get home from work as I am not a morning person and I can't leave work during the day…

My eyes? I'm grateful for all my body does but I really truly only like my eyes lol

:)

False - I knew it but couldn't speak it :) TNP loves hiking

Aww thank you so much! And so do you!! :) You're doing awesome!

That is the one thing that I have not used yet. I have one, I just need to get it out again.

First off, congrats on the 30# loss, that is awesome! I am sorry that it has been rough, and it is truly inspiring and awesome that you are still doing it! You will get there!! Right now I'm trying to incorporate aerobic activity with running, strength training and then yoga for flexibility, strength and balance. My daily…

Thank you so much for your reply! I appreciate it a ton! :) I'll check those out for sure!

You are definitely right on that! I might just need to cut down further - I end up getting nauseous or exhausted and so I have been trying to not have too much of a deficit, so maybe that is where I'm going wrong.

Thank you for your response and the help! I definitely have a routine/menu each day and write down the calories and what I'm eating. I can't get in too much of a deficit or I start to get really weak and then I'm useless lol. I have been incorporating more of a heavy vegetable intake (leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables,…

I am just trying to get back to the pre-pregnancy weight. I know that things have changed and I'm (learning to be) okay with that. That is awesome that you have lost ~25 in the last 10 months! Congrats! I'm trying hard to have a deficit, I just end up getting so exhausted to the point I cannot move when I do (which is…

I'm so so so sorry for the loss of your dad! I've been searching for my journals to start back up again but I think I may need to just buy a new one to get going. Thank you so much for opening up and also telling me what worked for you!

Once it gets warmer out (I'm in Minnesota and it's brutal at the moment lol) I plan on going on a lot of walks! Thank you so much!

Thank you for all these ideas! I'm definitely going to Google him! And that's a good price for a cool mist humidifier that can use essential oils! Ohhh, a both types of puzzles sound like a good plan! Thank you!!!

Scheduling is something I need to start doing!

Ohhh a bath sounds lovely! Unfortunately, I can't start running just yet (still coming back from having a baby and need to ease in exercise) but the cycling sounds like a good option! My husband has a bike down in the basement so I need to take advantage of that. Thank you for all of the ideas!!! Truly!

Thank you so much for all of the ideas! I'm definitely going to be trying all of these! I super appreciate it!
