I do a whole milk and Sun Warrior Chocolate pea protien for breakfast five days a week.

Glad to hear you're back of your feet, figuratively and literally!

Got a glimpse of abs!

I didn't double them! I took one to the office, and the other I use at home.

I went from 239lbs down to 155lbs. I had a lot of loose skin on my chest and belly. At 63 years old I knew tightening the skin up was going to be a problem. I had read about collagen supplements as the only possibility outside of surgery. It's been a year now taking the collagen as well as working out with weights and…

Most weeks I eat red meat (beef) twice a week. On Wednesday I have a 4oz. Roast Beef sandwich for lunch. On Sunday nights I have a 4oz. Cheeseburger. Once in a while I'll swap the burger for a small steak!

Broke 8 minutes in a one mile track run! a 7:50 to be more precise.

After losing 85 lbs I had to get new shoes as they were now all way too big!

I'm in love with these: and their Carrots!

Ran my first 10 mile race today! Originally it looked to be fun and scenic but the weather turned nasty. Horizontal rain driven by 40 to 50 mph winds! It was brutal in places! Ran the first 5-1/2 miles, then walked a half of mile while I took nourishment (energy gel), then ran the last 4-1/2 miles to the finish line.…

Does running count as a workout? Won my age group in a local 5K race! Ran a 28:26, missing a PR by 8 seconds!

Attempting a 10-mile run on May 7th!

Way to go! I too am in the 5'-10" club! I started my journey at 239 lbs and bottomed out after a year and a half at 153 lbs. I've now settled in around 160 lbs which seems to be a nice number for me. As always, the proof is in the picture:

Maybe I should have said "they" say the difference between Jogging and Running is a 10 minute mile. As decreed here: https://runtrails.org/jogging-vs-running https://verywellfit.com/difference-between-running-and-jogging-2911122

I started running again after a 25 year break! I worked my way up to a 5K last Spring. Ran the whole way! Ran a 11:40 mile pace. Then I read somewhere that you are only considered a "runner" if you can run under a 10 minute pace. So that was my goal. By Fall I had my 5K down to this: That's a 9:05 pace. Training really…

I have two right now. One to start the day, and one to end the day! Since I hit my target weight with 16/8 intermittent fasting, I am now looking to build some muscle and get lean. Therefore I have added a protein "shake" as breakfast which I had been skipping. It's one cup of whole milk and one scoop of Sun Warrior Pea…

A small T-shirt (down from an XL) and size 30 jeans (down from 38's)!

It's been about six months since I have lost 85 pounds. I am still trying to get use to the guy looking back at me in the mirror! The weirdest is walking through the Mall or a store and catching a side glance in a mirror and freaky out after not recognizing myself!

Well that was kind of snotty! Not from everything I've read. I have to strongly disagree with this. So you're just ignoring the "Fed" and "Fasted" body states? Well it helped me lose weight a lot better then non-fasting while consuming the same number of calories. To each their own!

Get more vascular for the Summer!

During the Covid quarantine I stopped eating the crap that was always in the office at work and managed to lose around 40 pounds. Realizing I had a good thing going, I completely overhauled my diet, started exercising, and ended up losing 85 pounds in about a year and a half. Most of the weight came off my belly so I had a…

I scare myself as to accurate my pre-scale guess is! Usually to within a couple tenths of a pound!

This is my go to:

Intermittent Fasting worked great for me! I was doing 16:8 five days a week. (Monday to Friday) I would finish diner by 8:00pm and wouldn't eat again until lunch at 12:00pm the next day. I lost the last 30 lbs or so that I was looking to lose. On Weekends I would eat breakfast to create a "Zig-Zag Diet". This way your…

Sorry, I read the op wrong! Thought they were fasting for 6 hours, not a 6 hour eating window! D'oh!

Shear willpower! How bad do you want to get healthy? if that drive is not strong enough you will snack.

Not sure you can consider 6 hours a fast. I think you have to go at least 12. 16 is better. (Just skip breakfast!)

I believe that IF has helped me lose weight! I started my quest at 239 pounds. By just diet adjustment and exercise alone, I got down to about 170 lbs. I really wanted to get centered in my BMI index at 155. I started doing 16:8 IF the five work days of the week last Spring. I really didn't think this would be possible as…
