Any men on this thread? Looking to add a few friends to share accountability...

Agreed - it is the concept/principle of intermittent fasting that’s useful. If that is understood there are multiple ways it can be put into practice.

How’s your intermittent fasting going?

Every morning I am grateful for another day that I get to enjoy in this wonderful thing that is my life!

I have been psychoanalyzing myself on the subject of ‘weight range’. At first I thought, ‘I’ll give myself a 10 pound range to stay within.’ After a while, I thought ‘Too wide a range doesn’t give me enough focus’. Next I considered a five pound range, but I thought ‘with a five pound range I’ll probably just settle at the…

Thanks, the reunion is a stake in the ground. Another stake in the ground which I haven’t mentioned is the annual beach trip with my family in two weeks; and this year I’m very happy to say I won’t be mistaken for a beached whale 🐳🐳🐳 😁😁😁

My goal weight may be closer to 180 than 176. I’m now at 186 and I don’t believe I have 10 pounds of fat left to lose. I’m getting my body comp checked in a couple weeks so I will have some quantifiable feedback soon...

A couple years ago my numbers were too low so my doctor prescribed an extra 50 mcg MWF. If you are on the med it is best to take it on an empty stomach and give it…

Thanks for the kind words! I hope you have a joyful Easter and lots of fun on your vacay! God bless you! 😊
