Well done on your running and eating out choices! You might want to try borrowing a dog before committing to having one for life, to make sure it's the right choice ... maybe try "borrow my doggy dot com" - especially on wet, windy, cold days. I stayed with my sister last weekend, and found that the idea of dragging myself…

Hi dkipnes77! I've always been keen on fitness and exercise too, but as I got older, the pounds crept on and stayed on, only shifting with a ridiculous amount of effort - until I read Dr Jason Fung's "The Obesity Code" in November. That book is a game-changer for anyone who eats. I've been doing intermittent fasting since…

Rather than avoiding eating out, why not just aim to choose meals that fit in better with your goals? I love to eat out too, and have become a bit better at not launching straight into the highest sugar/wheat/deep fried fat options - though admittedly this only works when you have some good restaurant options available! I…

Time to get back in the gym for regular strength workouts now, to keep/build muscle, so that might slow down the weight loss for a bit - but in a good way! The ice has gone for now, so been out for a couple of 3 - 4 mile jogs this week, and found it hard work, so daily walking may be great, but really not the same as…

Thanks lbride! Fasting is the easiest way to lose weight I've ever tried. Just wish I'd known about it years ago! :)

This is why I love intermittent fasting! No long hard slog on a daily basis, restricting calories for months with little reward. If we mess up a fast day, we just do it the next day instead - it's such a revelation! :)

Rather belated update for last wednesday, when I went away to Fort Augustus for a few days of walking / fiddle workshops, excessive amounts of wheat-based and/or sugary food and chips, and late night music sessions. Back to intermittent fasting from today!! 5'2" tall, 58 years old. HW: 160 (June 2016) Ultimate GW: 119 to…

Is there a way to edit a previous post you write? I thought I'd be able to just update the original post, but can't see how to do it :# ;) Anyway, here's an update. Had a health scare on Saturday - T.I.A. (transient blood clot affecting my sight) which had me in A&E. Maybe related to the headaches/migraines I had last…
