I love talking about IF, but I didn't know that IF had anything to do with what you eat, more when you eat? :) yay, nay?

This is great! Just started doing the plank every night so this challenge is perfect, thanks!

Interesting topic! I too have wondered about this over the years. My endo claims my dosage/function won't affect my weight that much. I've been on 100 mcg for years now and still battling my weight or yoyo'ing I should say! Good Luck to you all!

Interesting! I'd not heard of water fasting other than perhaps religious related. I do IF so this sounds like a good Monday activity to try :) All water Monday.

I'm trying to do IF as well :)

Inspired!

Tell me more about your IF schedule and what you eat :) Thanks! Love to hear how IF is working for others.

haha. for those who do like Halo Top, what's your favorite flavor?

I adore cheese. If I could cut cheese from my diet, that would solve 1/2 of my issues. The shredded cheese I put on most of my meals is 200 cal! :(

haha and yes, agreed, the hardest part is cutting it open! :)

Thanks for all the thoughts! Wanted to share my current favorite... it's amazing. I add broccoli - https://www.thegunnysack.com/chicken-alfredo-spaghetti-squash/

thanks for all the ideas! :)

I feel ya, I'm so the same. I've tried different methods to combat over the years but the only thing that's worked for me is Intermittent Fasting. It's a mind game for me...knowing that if I hold out just a few more hours, it will be so worth it and I can indulge a bit. Good luck! Wish I could somehow just turn off the…

thanks for all the ideas! trying not to sound lazy but sometimes i am and don't want to deal with the shredding... haha

Funny, I'm a former binge eater and IF was an easy transition.

haha, I was going to mention something like that in my original post...maybe i should stick to a 5 lb hand weight instead of a food item :)

Thanks all.. appreciate these reminders!!

I've always wondered about the working out at the end of the fasting period... that's so awesome that you do it. I've always tried but find that 95% of the time I have no energy and am so excited to eat :) so skip the workout :( I need to get over that hump. I really do think that is key, awesome job!

i now realize how homely my meals are after seeing these beautiful dishes :) nice job, everyone. wow!

so inspiring!!!!! way to go! :)

Haha funny, thank you for clarifying for me! :)

Can someone clarify with me what "woo" means?... I've clicked it in a positive sense as in whoohooo...haha, but is that not correct?

I agree the daily weigh-ins mess me up. I'm too sensitive to the daily, sometimes hourly :), fluctuations with the scale that I've finally realized mentally I can't handle the daily weigh ins.

love all the posts, thank you! yes I eat store bought...never thought of making it on stove! i need to try that and only make exactly what I'm allowed to eat that day. and seriously I'm about one step away from a food lock box :) it's all such a mind game for me. Keep the thoughts coming, thx!

Thanks all... I try not to eat any "light" food. Only full fat, non-artificial, but I appreciate all the ideas. I also have this issue with cashews :) Why are some foods so extra addicting!? Maybe I should've titled this how to stop me from busting into pre-packaged portions that are supposed to be saved for another day.…

haha, yes, I know...it's a tough one! I love my popcorn and can't stop eating it. I try portion control, package it up, etc..but I always seem to find the second container...or third. :)

Thanks all! Ya, I've experimented a bit using my garmin and entering/tracking different ways. Just thought there might be someone out there too that was thinking same!

Thanks for feedback!
