I always wonder about the dislikes. I have posted things like drink lots of water to curb appetite and have received dislikes. I wonder if someone actually disagrees with that or if they are just going around giving dislikes just because.

I quote my first post and then edit that.

I don’t know how to link you to it. I posted it under challenges.

Which IF plan are you doing? I am seriously impressed with your results!

Any weight loss is great weight loss! How do you feel about a stationary bike? Can you go snow shoeing at a park? Pilates can be done at home. You could do a squat and lunges challenge. Do you have any gear?

I use to have pretty intense cravings but I think I have it worked out. I allow myself up to 1650 calories a day. If I was really struggling, I would allow myself 2150 calories (maintenance calories). I found when I am having cravings, I often am just hungry. If I eat a nutritious well rounded meal, the cravings go away.…

I love the little tracker! How did you add it??

I want to give a big shout out to all those that inspired this Challenge and provided lucky ideas! ☘️☘️☘️ Starting weight: 2/9 148lbs (My weight is up a tad over 4lbs this last week; thanks super fun vacation) Goal weight: 139lbs (I am setting my weight loss goal for this challenge at 9lbs only because I anticipate losing…

Wow @KetoKay91 your results are amazing. What diet/exercise plan did you follow?

@CourtneyLomonaco let’s make some small goals and shed some fat! We can do this!!

@Acrylicfox thank you for for the kind feedback. My weigh ins were pretty great until my vacation week set me back a few pounds, lol.

@AlessandraJulianna I think we have all been there! If you have been eating a standard diet, you can drink a gallon of water and cut out carbs to lose 5 pounds in a week. You will be losing mostly water weight but it still makes you feel slim. Next up is the St. Patty’s Challenge! Come sign up for a fresh start.

I posted the St. Patrick’s Day Challenge. Official start day will be the 15th so I am not overlapping with this thread but for the early birds itching for a fresh start there is an option to start tomorrow, 6 days early. Weigh in every 6 days. I left the goals flexible so everyone can pick their own.

You are right on track! You can do it!!

Even if you don’t make it to the 10 pound loss by the 14th, your weight is coming down! You are doing great!!

You are killing it over there!! 🧜🏻‍♀️

Wow!! Great job! I love the comparisons in the same outfit. It really makes it easy to see the change!

With only 30 days between V day and St Patty’s (thank you google, lol), 10 pounds would be a steep goal. I like acrylic fox’ idea of multiples of 3. What do think about doing 6 pounds for the challenge?

If we start on the 15th, we only have 30 days between Valentines Day and St. Patty’s Day. We could do a 6 pound loss goal. Starting weight on the 15th and then progress weights every Wednesday? Or every 3 days? Or every 6 days?

Next up, St. Patrick’s Day Challenge! 🍀

You are doing awesome Celdi ☃️

I don’t think science 100% has this all figured out but I love reading theories and seeing what various experts and lay people believe. I read something once that speculated people who overeat are getting less enjoyment from their food in comparison to normal weight people. They made it sound like overweight people are…

I love statistics and haven’t heard that one! I hate the feeling of going over on my calories. I am working with what works for me; being less rigid with my goals. I set my calories to 1650 and if I am having a hard day I eat every last morsel of 1650 calories. I found I am hungry when I eat low calories. I also found I am…

You seem to be at a good weight. If I was in your shoes, I speculate I would focus on working out to gain muscle. It is surprising how good replacing fat weight with muscle weight looks.

I set my calorie limit pretty high at 1650 calories. Some days I eat all my calories and some days I eat less. Some days I work out but am not terribly hungry but then I am super hungry the next day. I don’t have to worry about how many calories I burned. Less stress=lower cortisol lol

Any loss is a win! My scale weighs 1/8th pounds and even a 1/8th pound loss is very exciting to me!
