@homemademama Your post resonated with me. Thanks for being authentic; you will succeed with your goals. You had a few rough days and chose to move forward. I took a couple days off also, been stressing over our country and did some emotional eating (which I haven't done in a long time). Did a lot of reflection and once…

Wishing you the best. You diet is not mine (however I do IF), but each of us find our own path. Yea on your success and welcome to the board. You can do this!

Of course...mainstay of my daily intake of calories.

Veggies make up a large portion of my food....nutrient dense and calorically light. I break my fast every day with a large salad full of a variety of veggies. So good and I usually include a generous dose of homegrown sprouts, especially enjoy crunchy mung bean sprouts.

It is entirely what resonates with you....there is no right or wrong way to IF. I have been doing this for years.. I'm after autophagy. If you want to incorporate this tool, I'd suggest doing a lot of research and see what protocol appeals to you. There is no magic for weight loss....the magic action is calorie deficit. I…

Great goals....you might want to break it down into action plans of how you will achieve your goals. Stating an intention is a great beginning. Wishing you much success!

Without fail...nude first thing in the am every day. I've learned a lot about my body and how it responds to certain food. It keeps me accountable as well as motivated. I've learned how to accommodate my food for a healthy body and the scale is just one tool. Like everything about weight loss, there is no right or wrong…

These posts are so inspiring....weight is not just about the food we eat, but the thoughts we think, the emotions that we feel, and the stress that burdens. I have strategies to release and have experienced and mindful of relationship with food and the challenges that are presented daily. I'm loving my life's journey, even…

Yay! You found what is working for you....IF is a great tool to facilitate calorie deficit. Each of us, in order to create a sustainable lifestyle that is balanced and healthy has to individually find what resonates and produces success. Good for you finding your path and wishing you much success!

Losing 2 pounds a week, is do able on paper. However, even with dedication, planning, stress strategies, physical exercise, and motivation, our weight goals fluctuate even under the best actions. Plan your actions as if your goals are to meet a reasonable 2 pounds a week....you might succeed and, if not, you will be…

Action is the magic word and you are here with a positive mindset....good work!

That salad and the tasty dressing....yum! <3 My daily lunch salad is an event :p

@IronIsMyTherapy Absolutely....mindset is a critical component of lifestyle. (Tell me I can't do something...I'll work even harder and prove you wrong. But encouragement is a plus.) Congratulations on the transformation.

@Boughtandsetfree...I can tell from the you tubers that you have listed that you are concentrating on a low fat whole food protocol/bodybuilding. You might want to add Simnett Nutrition to your list and you might find the interview of Nimai on Rich Rolls's podcast inspirational (interesting background). (I've attended…

@gillianlsteele Yes, I agree with all of those listed above. The only two obvious inclusions (so many on my list...even though I don't use recipes, I have for inspiration.) I would suggest - you might want to check out Simnett Nutrition and High Carb Hannah, for different reasons. These days my food is very simple....the…
