What is the correct way? I’m new to intermittent fasting. I’d like to know what fasting periods people have had the most luck with and what kind of eating plan they follow. I’m particularly interested in the results for women over 50. Thanks!

PW: 192.5 CW: 197 LTD: 15.5 Ugh. I have no excuse. Just bad decisions, every single day.

Weigh-in day: Saturday PW: 192.3 CW: 192.5 LTD: 20 The incessant rain here is really throwing off my game! I’ve gotten only one full ride in this week and no kayaking. The rain interrupted my second ride and cut it short, and the lake nearby where I do my kayaking is so high it’s closed. It’s 15 feet higher than normal and…

Weigh-in day: Saturday PW: 191.4 CW: 192.3 LTD: 20.2 This is not surprising. I went off the wagon this past week. Back to it!

@ljdanny i love kayaking! I try to go every weekend but this weekend got rained out 🙄

Weigh-in day: Saturday PW: 193.6 CW: 191.4 LTD: 21.1 Whoo!! I passed the 20 pound mark. I have started to lose weight sooooo many times over the past 11+ years (since I had my last baby). I usually lose about 13 pounds and get so tired of the dieting that I quit. That’s usually around the 5 week point. It’s been 8 weeks…

Y’all, I just got newly motivated to keep up the eating and exercise plan. Along with several other people I work with, I will be receiving a big company award. We are getting it as a team. This award is given out annually to 25 or so people/groups. My husband received this same award in 2018 (but on his own - not with a…

Do you do “real” camping or RV camping? I don’t do tents. LOL. We have a travel trailer. LOVE IT! RV camping is a great vacation when you’re trying to stick to an eating and exercise plan because you can take and prepare all your food and there are plenty of fun outdoor activities you can do.

NSV: capris that used to be TIGHT on my waist are now baggy. I keep having to pull them up. Whoo!!

I do the same thing. We’ll cook over the weekend and have leftovers. Mostly I get my husband to grill or smoke something like pork tenderloin or chicken. And I’ll often cook up veggies, like steamed broccoli or okra. I’ll pair the meat with the veggies or a salad and maybe a small baked potato (also cooked on the weekend).…

Weigh-in day: Saturday PW: 195.7 CW: 193.6 LTD: 18.9 This has got to be water or something. I was not good with my food this week. I went over my calories four days. But I did get all my workouts in. I figured I might just break even this week.

Thanks, @mthwbrwn I have found the same with my cycling gloves. I tried those first because I already had them. I’ll search for NRS. Appreciate it!

Thanks for all the info @AnnPT77 !

Thanks for all the input, everyone.

I'll jump on the introduction bandwagon. I'm Kristie. I've been married 29 years and have a 15-year old daughter and an 11-year old son and I work full-time. I've been using MFP on and off for quite a few years now, and like many, I've lost the same pounds over and over, just to gain them back. Last June, @1theresamcvean…

Welcome, @kaj848 !

Weigh-in day: Saturday PW: 202.7 CW: 198.5 LTD: 14.0 Hello, Onederland! So glad to be back. I’ve missed you!

@minstrelofsarcasm $1300 copay? Holy crap. How do they expect people to afford that? I hope you can get everything worked out. I don’t have a chronic illness like this, but my husband does (Crohn’s) and it can be so difficult in so many different ways. And effective treatments for autoimmune diseases seem to be…

Welcome @ginamyrmel!

You must go to The Netherlands during the blooming season. I was there in late April and early May several years ago. The tulip fields are cool - they’re like big wheat or corn field but all tulips. And the Keukenhof Gardens are amazing!! It’s a huge botanical garden with every color of tulips you can imagine, some grown…

Weigh-in day: Saturday PW: 203 CW: 202.7 LTD: 9.8 No surprise on the tiny loss this week. I had a crazy work week and five doctor appointments between me and the kiddos so I missed two workouts. I also went over on my calories three days. This next week will definitely be better.

Yep @goingape will be great. She’s always encouraging me when commenting on my posts.

@KUMEcyclingteam congrats on all your progress. I hope your next chapter goes as well as this one did.

@pacsnc6 Congrats! It must have been such a huge relief to get your scan results.

KristieJC PW: 212.5 CW: 207.5 LTD: 5 I know some of this is water weight. I always get a high loss my first week back on plan. But I’ll take it!

Here’s a smiling face for y’all to see while scrolling through the feed. This is my Jessie girl, patiently waiting for me to finish yoga the other night.
