Hi all, new here but thought I would share my results: HW:190.4 Started IF in mid August CW: 182.8 (so 7.6 lbs in 5 weeks) GW:165 (17.8 to go) Using a combo of 16:8 with 5:2 and loving it!

Anyone around or still doing this? I am doing a 16-8 hour window. I have found it to be very easy! I have lost the past couple of week an average 2 pounds a week just by doing that. I have not been very good about my macros--I definitely stay within caloric range, just because it is so much easier to do that with pretty…

at what caloric intake did you start? I have similar stats....

Me!!! A week late though :/ Starting September weight: 178 Ending September weight: 174 Final goal: 159

Cappuchino K cup-- 80 calories and worth EVERY one :)

why can't I see pics?!!!

I did WW last year and lost almost 25 lbs. I gained it back because I stopped tracking. Both places are great for tracking. I did try to track both points and calories at one point and was just so overwhelmed. I do good to keep track of one or the other. I decided to cut back on some spending, so went for the 'free'…

Good job for getting back on the bike! LOVE your kids!

Hi Rubina :) I am on day 6 of 30DS! Feel free to add :) Good luck!

Doesn't it drive you nuts, that all the training you do and don't lose a pound?!!! The first half I trained for, I didn't lose any weight. The second one I trained for I lost about 10 lbs! Same training schedule!!! SOOO frustrating! So what are you doing to change things up? I am doing running every other day and the 30DS…

Thank you so much for your encouragement! I do need to get rid of some processed foods in our home. I am not going totally processed food-free, but do need to cut back for sure! I need to take a deep breath when I jump on the scale and don't see it move, it is more than a scale. It is a healthier me. I am about to turn 40…

I am going to be completely transparent. I am FRUSTRATED, IRRITATED at myself, at this calorie counting, at the world! Two weeks ago, I logged 9 miles, did 3 Jillian Michael workouts, and stayed pretty close in calories (all in one week)--lost .2 lbs.--not even a half a pound...UGH! So then next week, I go on vacation. I…

I know you didn't ask me, ha! But I thought I would share with you what I used to train my last two half marathons, and my current training schedule for next month's 1/2....Google Hal Higdon. LOVE LOVE LOVE his schedules for training. VERY doable for busy people!

Thank you :-)

Thank you! I noticed about Day 4 I was feeling better and stronger when I did it again :)

Congrats on the upcoming half! I am training for my 3rd one right now. It isn't until mid May. So I am at 6 miles today. I am a super slow person though....I walk/jog and very slow. But I still do them :) Good luck on your run!

OH wow, what a momentous weekend for you! Hope it went well :) I did forget to weigh myself first thing....I did weigh later that morning (after eating breakfast). So I will go to the spreadsheet and add my weight in--is that ok? It was not a good weigh in--I actually GAINED 2 lbs. since last week--but in all fairness, AF…

I agree on changing my calorie intake and taking the lose slower.....since I changed it over yesterday, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.....I will do this and want to do it right. Because, I am the person you spoke about. Went full speed last year and lost my 25 lbs. Hit my goal, went 'yipee' and then…

LOVE all your advice! Thank you for taking the time to be so detailed! I am going to print this!!!

I agree! I am a walk/jogger as well!

I've felt the same way this week :( I found Wednesday to be my roughest day. What helped me was that I had already organized a workout with a friend and I felt bad backing out, so I thought well, I would go ahead and try it. I would do it half halfheartedly, but do something. I found that it did wipe me out more for a…

Ok man, I am going to sound very stupid....but where are the challenges? :(

Hi there! Feel free to add me :) Pretty new myself (again)!

I got help reconfiguring the info! I also agree that I don't have to cut them out completely, but it wouldn't hurt me to cut back on them :) Thanks for your help and encouragement!

This!!!!

I like easy! I will cut it down to a pound a week and see how that is working. Thanks for your help!

Yes, I will do better at really tracking food. Congrats on the weight loss! How is maintenance for you!

Yes, it is very overwhelming at times! Thanks for your encouragement!

Thanks for the encouragement :)

I do want to lose in a way that I can live with the rest of my life. So I am in agreement that I will not cut all out, but I know that I can improve in my amount I eat--as I have a serious love for bread and sugars...
