Back at it and successful more than ever. Intermittent fasting 16:8 every day has done wonders so far. I’m not counting calories as much but just being mindful of my eating window which restricts a lot of intake. Additional benefits: more energy, minimal stomach issues, sleeping better, clothes fitting better again.

All right then, post progress here tips anything to help motivate invalidate the choice of our goals.

That’s really great to hear. Let’s do it right this time especially before winter hits and gives us a lot of excuses not to do anything. Further, I have been using psyllium fiber there’s a supplement and have had great results so far, it helps with hunger cravings, and shedding excess weight.

Today was way better, walked 4 miles and was under caloric budget.

All lies, didn’t work out and ate cookies! Argh why did I do that?!

Ok, back on track. This time it’s for real. Counted my last calorie for the evening. And in 3 hours will be getting on the bike for 1 whole hour.

Ok back at it again. Lost about 5 lbs then gained it right back and just had a vacation where I surfeited. Time to get back on the wagon.

Ok now I am on the valley of my ups and downs, down to 180.5lbs. Now how to keep it low? I’ll try lots of water today.

It’s been another week, and I run about seven out of the last 10 days. Still going back-and-forth about 4 pounds, not really losing it, so I think now what I need to do is have a deficit of calories at least 1000 a day.

Running still at least 500 calories a day. Somehow gaining weight but hopefully that’s muscle. I feel better at least and clothes fit better now, but I feel like I am going in circles.

Thanks a lot! Upped it to one more mile yesterday and hope to get more in today. I have noticed that my stomach symptoms have vanished. Movement is essential!

6 days of running in a row, it’s my b’day today so I get the day off to gorge a bit, then first thing tomorrow back on track. Cheers all!

Back on track. I am on my fifth day of running in a row, 3 days straight with at least 500 calories burned and adding intensity intervals in my last two runs. Feeing food and sleeping better, eating has been a bit better too and have had bigger net deficits than usual. So I am happy with this new momentum. Hope all is well…

How is everyone? Anyone successful? Been back and forth but cannot seem to shake these pounds off, it’s incredibly discouraging. I may try intermittent fasting and/or upping my fruit and vegetable intake for lunch.

Back at it. Went for a run last night and incorporating yoga into my routine. Diet wise I am sticking to mostly vegetables before 6pm. And even so, maybe fish for dinner.

In China for two weeks, let’s see if an eastern diet has any effect. I will be walking a lot and fortunately there are gyms here so I can keep up my strength training. But it will be hard to login and track food since I will not know the names of them, or their calorie content unless it’s packaged. Cheers all and keep up…

Feeling totally exhausted today from lifting yesterday, little sleep, and totally hungry but have staved off bad decisions so far today and have kept carbs at a minimum. I am going to hop on the bike or something to at least get moving, once I eat dinner I will gorge a bit.

Weight has gone up but I am confident it is muscle and water retention since I am in the full swing of a lifting routine again. Stomach fat has decreased for sure. Kicked off this morning with squats, bench, planking, and deadlifts. Feeling good!

Lifted three times this week doing a 5x5 program with compound movements. Great to have a lot of pain relief from working muscles. And also seeing some muscle definition.

Good for you @PeaceQT18! I had my 3rd or 4th lifting session last night. Doing a 5x5 routine and making progress. Not as achy as I was before lifting. Hope to start seeing muscle definition and my clothes fitting better although I expect some weight gain from water for a week or two. I am going to bike or run between…

Ok, had a good today yesterday. Lifted weights this morning and got some walking in. Ate light for lunch and will have a salad with chicken for dinner. I feel like I am back on track. Let’s do this!

thanks for posting and keeping the thread going!

Ok, back again. Put back on some weight unfortunately so it’s time to bounce back with renewed vigor. I want to eat even less and start running and lifting more. At least 1 exercise activity a day.

Had a trip to Boston which derailed my momentum a bit, so I am taking a few days off from tracking. Though I got about 25 miles of walking in so all wasn’t totally lost. Will resume running and moderation today but just don’t feel like logging in. See you soon.

All threadwatchers feel free to friend me and post updates.

Good afternoon all. Hope you are making progess no matter how small or incremental. Had a pretty light lunch today with cucumbers and hummus to start with s chicken salad sub. Actually putting my yogurt on hold since I wasn’t hungry for it. That’s a rarity for me since I usually eat all food I pack. I will try to get…

It’s not so bad! It rained a little yesterday and it was chilly but I made 3.5 miles happen. Today I got 2 in. We got this!

@mz144 put on some heavy clothes and get outside. I’m going to now because the last two days of running I feel refreshed and relaxed, and it’s easy to meet calorie goals. I had the best sleep in about 2 months last night. Because at this age, I am seeing dieting isn’t enough. Movement is essential.

Good to see the scale at 7.5 lbs less and progress is made.

At least 3.5 miles of running with another 1 or so in walking. I am jump starting this week with this perfect weather.
