Hi everyone! I’m 5’ 8”, 230 pounds and turned 50 this past December. I was well on my way to reaching my short term goal weight of getting below 200 then covid hit and the lockdown didn’t agree with my nervous eating habits. I gained 30 pounds in a few months and I’m miserable because I have a gym membership but didn’t…

Walking. All I need is some comfy tennis shoes and room to roam!

I use MapMyWalk and love it!!

I agree completely!

I've been slacking for a while but the COVID shut in really hit me hard. I was lucky enough to keep my job and work from home from the end of March until about 2 weeks ago and didn't do much except snack and lounge around the house. I feel so bummed out and gained about 20 pounds during that time. :'( I'm so embarrassed to…

I just tried to log my dinner and the search results keep showing me foods in Greek or Russian. That would be awesome if I could read Greek or Russian but since English is what I’m searching for, these results are useless. I’ve updated the app but nothing helps. This app went from awesome to meh over time and I hope things…

I like 16:8 IF specifically because it controls my urge to snack at night. I eat from 10am to 6pm which works for me because I can have dinner with my family and I never get too hungry.

I need to lose 50+ and have an open diary. I'll try to add you as well.

This is the second generation and I've owned this watch for 3 years and I'm sure it's beginning to show it's age but don't have the money to buy another one.

I'm in!! Ultimate Starting Weight: 235 Challenge Starting Weight: 210.8 Challenge Goal Weight: 200 Ultimate Goal Weight: 150 My weigh ins are on Mondays. Good luck everyone!!

These are all really great comments and I'm glad the general attitude about frozen meals seems to have changed since they're ok in a pinch. I usually cook for my family but there are times that I only want a 300 calorie meal or I'm on my own for dinner. I'm definitely going to do what some suggested and add more veggies or…

This is exactly my story. I've been doing IF 16:8 for about a month or so (10a-6p) and the weight has been coming off steadily. I don't think there's any magic with IF (based on my experiences) but this method keeps me from over indulging at night and I tend to eat meals that are more filling during the day. Actually when…

I just started 16:8 IF and find this to be the case also. If I push my meals to later in the day, I'm usually not as hungry and stay full until my next fast.

TIL not to engage in conversations with strangers because most of the time they only want to ask you for something!

She’s very opionated and I’m sure she’s always felt this way about our adoption and probably believed the time was right for her to say something. Keep in mind that she’s a nice person but will initiate small fires within the family and pretend innocence when everything comes to a head. Her comments still hurt because I’ve…

lol

I'm so cheap that I get extra condiment packets from fast food restaurants so I can save money on ketchup, mustard, sugar, etc.

I think I'm bothered by the fact that she voiced her opinion in such a rude way. Not to mention the fact that at this point, what should it matter to her how old we are as long as we take very good care of our daughter. She also said (in an exasperated way), "what were y'all thinking". And that really hurts because our…

For two $50 gift cards, you paid for those cream puffs and should have raked the rest of them into your purse and left.

I work in a cubicle at our state's transportation department as an engineer. It's pretty boring work.

When someone calls a water heater a "hot" water heater. If the water is already hot, it doesn't need to be heated. lol

Nothing right now but I suddently have the urge to read Faye Kellerman.

My aunt once told me I was fat and wouldn't ever find a husband. WRONG!!!!! Hahahahaha Guess I should have told her she needed to trim her mustache.

I've been watching off and on and want to live in France now.

We went on vacation twice this summer to Six Flags and Disney. With both trips, my well thought out diet plans went out the window. I didn't dwell on it though and got back into my routine when I got home. All is well now but I completely understand how a vacation can wreck your weight loss progress.
