You suggested that book "The Every Other Day Diet" to someone so I looked it up. I loved that it was written by a researcher and scientifically based. I ordered it and it actually just arrived yesterday. Looking forward to reading it. I'm glad you suggested it as I'm also finding it easier to fast than to eat lately. I get…

Daily Post: Friday Track: No Calories under goal: Yes Exercise: Yes, 50 minutes run/walk on treadmill Comments: I was planning on fasting Friday, and I did until 4pm. But I realized that I forgot to serve a huge fresh salad on Thanksgiving and I knew it would be a shame to go to waste and I didn't know if it would last…

143tobe November Week 4 Weigh in day: Saturday PW: 131.2 CW: 130.8

I hit my lowest weight on Thursday morning. (129!! Woohoo!) For Thanksgiving My plan was to eat to my heart's content and I did, plus more. I kept trying to go for leftovers but there was just no room. I would sneak in bites when I felt like there was even just a tiny bit of room. I normally don't step on the scale the day…

What a nice message! Thank you so much! <3 And I agree with how eating Keto feels verses eating carbs. When I eat keto (or low carb) I feel so much better. Which is why the regular OMAD didn't work for me this month. I would eat around noon (including carbs) and I was just too tired to function. I actually had to take a…

I would have taken the day's previous weight (If I had weighed myself that day). 163.9 is definitely not your true weight...but look at it this way....you will probably be posting a massive loss next week!

yum yum yum yum and yum :D

Oh no!! I refuse to even weigh myself with food in my stomach. All my weights are morning "empty" weights. I shudder to think what I weigh with a full belly! And what did people bring? Sounds good! Happy Thanksgiving!

Daily post: Thursday Track: Nope Calories Way over Exercise: Nope I need a wheelbarrow to carry me around the house. Had an awesome Thanksgiving. Ate to my heart's content and more. I hit the 120's this morning! (129) My lowest weight since I was a child. After today's feast I anticipate a 5 pound gain but my gosh was it…

Daily post Wednesday Track, yes Calories, under Excercise, no So tired. Got most of my Thanksgiving shopping done today after work but I had to go to 4 different stores in 4 towns to find all the ingredients. But I forgot to get a meat thermometer 😒. Made a sugar free cranberry sauce tonight but I hate it. It called for…

I like this idea. I was also on MFP for years but was unable to break the 153 plateau. The past two years I went low carb, and I feel like it's really made the difference for me personally (I believe that some people do better when they find a particular way of eating that works best for them). I'm finally in my (high)…

I don't see a starting weight listed, but losing 17-20 lbs in 14 weeks sounds fully reasonable for someone who is even moderately overweight. You've come to the right place! I would use the app to set your daily calorie limit. Since you are looking to lose about 1.2 lbs a week, I would set your goal to lose 1.5 pounds a…

Challenge starting weight- 134 11/20- 134 11/27- 130.4 - Loss this week: 3.6 12/4- 12/11- 12/18- 12/25- Challenge End Weigh Goal- 129 Total weight loss goal by Christmas- 5 lbs. Tried to get ahead of my weight loss this week because in two days I plan on feasting. I generally eat a low carb diet but I have learned that I…

Tuesday Daily Check-in Track: Yes calories- Yes, under (with 5 calories to spare) Exercise-20 minutes running Hey guys! So Thanksgiving is almost here. I've still been shopping, cooking, cleaning/organizing, baking and cooking up a storm. Today is probably the first time I've done any kind of exercise in a week. I only had…

:o 😳 :# Oh my goodness! How scary! Glad it turned out okay for you. Have you asked your nephrologist if your digestion issues could be related to your kidneys somehow?

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I don't experience this issue but I have an unconventional idea which might work (or not). Last week I ordered a corset because I realized that when I wear very fitted clothes I feel better about myself, I feel slimmer and I am more mindful of my eating. As an experiment I wanted to…

@AB0215 , I had a 4.8 lb weight loss this week. I thought I would have placed? :/

I've been thinking about this a lot since I've been having these uncontrollable binges lately. But for the moment, I think I have it under control. I've written out a calendar with my plans for the week and I plan to fast the day before Thanksgiving and the day after. Since I live in Germany and am mostly alone here, I…

It's taken me a long time and a lot of ups and downs to get here. It's all been worth it and it's been an entire life change. I'm so much happier and healthier now than I was when I decided to take that first step.

143tobe November Week 3 Weigh in day: Saturday PW: 136 CW: 131.2

I'm late, but I'm in. I actually searched for a Christmas challenge after Halloween but this didn't come up on the search. These short term holiday challenges are fun and helpful! The holiday's are a hard time to lose weight, so I am going to aim for 5 lbs in the remaining 5 weeks as my goal. When I hit the 120's it will…

Hi team! I've not been doing the daily updates because I've chosen to take the time that I normally spend on losing weight (logging, reading and commenting in here, working out, showering -yes I shower and bathe a lot less when I don't work out, weighing and measuring, etc. etc etc.) I actually spend several hours of every…

143tobe November Week 2 Weigh in day: Saturday PW: 135.2 CW: 136 The price of falling off the face of the earth Monday and Tuesday. I did manage to clean it up the rest of the week, so I'm happy with this number. My goal will be to post an actual loss next week.

Daily Post: Friday November 15th Track: No Calories: I didn't track, but I know they were most likely at limit or just slightly over Exercise: No Took the week off of tracking. It feels good to have that mental break. Going to try to get an outdoor run in this morning. I hate the cold and lately my elbows really hurt when…

I count all of my calories religiously so I can't say that eating in a 16/8 hour window helped me lose weight. (I did lose weight, but I was already losing even when not eating in a 16/8 window.) It did help me gain a bit of self control and now I'm able to fast for much longer windows and not only has a lot of my general…

I'm not ready to do my daily post today, but just wanted to give an update. So I didn't get around to cutting up and cooking my pumpkin yet today, because I had some shredded carrots in the fridge that needed my immediate attention. I made some low carb carrot cake muffins which turned out really nicely and which I got to…

I think it's good to be flexable. Have you thought of moving your daily calories up to 1400 and maybe aiming for 1300-1400 any given day? I find I do best when I keep my calories a bit on the higher side. It seems like no matter what weight I am at, I lose consistently and comfortably when I eat around 1650 calories. Any…

Awesome drop! Well done!

Daily Post: Thursday November 14th Track: No Calories: I didn't track, but I know they were under. Exercise: None...but between my job and cleaning all day I went over 13,000 steps. I did OMAD today but other than a small portion of jalapeno Cheetos I kept it low carb. I just feel better when fasting or eating low carb. On…

This is awesome. My kids have been begging me to make pumpkin pie but I've been so busy and the pumpkin I have is HUGE so I've been trying to figure out the best way to cook it. I'm going to have to freeze a good portion of it, but our freezers are so tiny and always full. I will make a couple of regular pies for them and…
