  • Hi! I also have had an eye opening experience dissecting my relationship with food. IF helped me also, I'm not going to die or pass out if I miss a meal anymore.

  • Yes! IF for 17 weeks, since January 17th. I've lost 30 pounds and can see myself eating like this forever. I fast 18-20 hours and only eat 4-6 hours, depending on my schedule. Now that I've lost some weight andmy knees feel better I'm ready to start incorporating exercise into my daily routine.

  • Long term goals are hard. We get on the scale daily and expect a result and get frustrated when it doesn't happen and then give up. Make a goal. Write it down. Take weight and measurements. Write them down. Pick a weigh in day, weekly or biweekly. Mine is biweekly and I refuse to get on the scale on the other days. Healthy…

  • How is everybody doing on their goals? I've just hit 30 pounds lost in 17 weeks and I'm finding myself starting to get less motivated because I hit my goal of getting under 200. Is everyone here still motivated?!? Would anyone like a new friend to keep tabs on and get daily encouragement from? I log in daily. Friend me!

  • I'm 40 years old, still 50 pounds overweight. 75 days straight on MFP! Lost 30 pounds so far, from 225 to 195, in 17 weeks. Let's all do this together and help each other! I'm excited I've finally found an eating plan that works for me long term. I'm a fast food junkie so I couldn't go TOO healthy and stick to it.

  • I started out 75 pounds overweight. I've lost 30 so I'm almost halfway. My goal was to lose half through dieting alone and then start exercise. I theorized that my knees and ankles and back would feel so much better with less weight to carry, and boy was I right about that! I'm happy with the weight I've lost and glad that…

  • Have long term goals! Don't Step on the scale daily and get bogged down with wanting to see changes daily. Keep your goals in mind daily but weigh once a week complete with measuring waist and hips and all too. Write it all down. Some weeks you'll see a difference in numbers, some weeks you'll see a difference in inches.…

  • I'm sold on my IF too! Great job! I just hit 30 pounds lost today since January 17th. Finally, something I can easily stick with for a long as necessary. And my sugar cravings and snacking habit are completely gone. And I very rarely even feel hungry. I fast 18 hours a day and eat for 6. Feel so much better. 25 more pounds…

    in Looking to friend other intermittent fasting folks.... Comment by dkg_motivate May 2018
  • I'm doing intermittent fasting which is sometimes used along with the 5:2 plan. I eat the calories recommended by MFP but only for 6 hours a day. I never was able to do so few calories and wasn't completely sure that would be best for me. I have 18 hours straight water fasting. I started at 12 and slowly lengthened my…
