hey Kids!!! holy, it seems like forever since I dropped in... everyone seems to be trucking along quite nicely, WELL DONE!! Alf - holy hawtness girl!! you are leaning out! excellent challenge results coming along there! Beeps - I loved that article... it's so true, there are many lessons we can learn from our dogs. I…

absolutely agree... the valid take away points in this is adequate sleep, protein and fluids and to weigh/log everything. OP, the fact that you shrinking means you are LOSING FAT, which really is the ultimate goal isn't it? You are winning!! The only scale you should make your friend is the food scale. =)

Happy Monday! :yawn: hoping the coffee kicks in soon... that hour sucked the life outta me this morning as well. alf & KellySue - thanks! the pic is forgiving :tongue: I have tonnes of stretch marks... I say I am a tiger who has earned her stripes! :wink: Loose skin hanging around too, probably never going to be completely…

Ruby, thanks for your kind words of encouragement =)

Happy Humpday!! I love coming in and seeing a flurry of activity! KellySue - I agree with the others... your daughter is lucky to have family close. It's a win-win really, you get to spend so much time with him and your daughter knows he is being looked after and loved to pieces! =) sdereski - it's been one of those years,…

TGIF!!!! Man oh man there's alot of activity in here! Beeps - oh my word!! That's some painful stuff, pic is beautiful tho, warm and sunny and sighhhh! Glad you had such a great time and YES, stay away from that scale for a few days!! So glad to see everyone is truckin' along. I am sticking with watching what I am eating…

G'Morning! Thanks, everyone, for your kind words and encouragement. The seperation, although hard, is for the better. Rhonda - sometimes pain in the knees may come from weak glutes and quads, the strength training will definitely help with that! Pay attention to your form, concentrate on the engaging the muscle to do the…

Hellooooo kids! =) Welcome newcomers :flowerforyou: I see everyone is rocking it out! Has Beeps made it back from her trip yet? Lucky gal!! KellySue - sounds like an awesome program! It's fun to try new things and your body will appreciate a change too! Things have been crazy for me for the last couple weeks, which is why…

I am just updating a couple times a month now instead of everytime I run =)

to echo KellySue's sentiment... Happy Hump Day!! alf - you get to wear the "BEST zumba instructor ever" crown!! how awesome to get all them girls giddy =) We got a huge dump of snow yesterday, was insane and thank goodness it was the pight fluffy stuff so shovelling wasn't a *****. Was -27 on the weekend and is -4 today…

try egg whites... triple the protein!! =) Cottage cheese, Quest bars and of course lean meats. ETA: Oikos 2% vanilla greek yogurt is my evening dessert with a Quest bar! =)

I do 18:6 and absolutely love it. It is a lifestyle that many people can't get their heads around in many instances but for me, it has been absolutely awesome! It hasn't always been just about weight loss as much as just freedom from thinking about food all day long and constantly eating. When I am in fat loss mode, I…

Good morning/afternoon/evening!! =) Ruby - thanks, I was missing catching up in here too! Beeps - cmon, you'd rock a bikini and probably look better than lots that wear one now!! The countdown is ON... it just might be the longest 8 days ever!! lol KellySue - way to get up and at 'em this morning! I slept in yesterday…

Happy Monday! Everyone is doing so awesome! Beeps - Mexico!! perfect time to go isn't it? bring out the bikinis!! KellySue - that's fantastic for your hubby! and for you as well, it's hard to watch loved ones spiral down. fay - you're gonna rock that 5k! and it will be the first of many!! I was actually thinking that a…

Hellooooo! OMG, seems like forever since I posted last! Been very busy with life and work... the usual I guess. too much awesomeness in the thread to comment on any single thing so... 'Woot' to everyone! =) I believe I have come full swing with the 20/4 fasting protocol and am finding it such a relief to not have to worry…

I'm a little behind but put me in for 50 miles please!! =) I am currently at 6 for the month.

Hey jane! Yup, time to move on =)

morning everyone! sdereski - welcome home! what a shocker to come back to such chilly weather after being down in Florida. Resetting the ticker is humbling, lol but it's great accountability to yourself and I think the majority of us has done it a couple times! =) KellySue - getting a workout in at home is awesome and…

get it girl!

I started IF in February of 2013, not to lose weight fast but to find a better way of eating that suited my lifestyle. I was around 212lbs when I started IF. I have to say, I am not focused on losing weight either, I am trying to build lean muscle mass and melt fat so in this last year, I have lost another 25 lbs by eating…

Hello ladies!! The last post I saw in this topic was from last summer so I hope there is activity in this group! I have been doing the 16:8 protocol for about a year now, I find it easy to maintain, even during the holidays =) Recently, I have been doing a 20 hr fast a couple times a week and the extra couple hours seem to…

andy - when you live in Canada where we have snow for 4 month of the year, ANY sand will do!! KellySue - awww, poor little guy! My youngest was prone to ear infections everytime she got a bad head cold. love the PawPaw and Grammy!! =) Skipping a workout and going over a bit is not going to have an impact on your…

Handyandy - walking in the soft sand sounds absolutely DIVINE right now! We have had a very mild winter so far but sighhhh, I could use a little sand and surf!! FocusisFab - love your pic! fantastic transformation... is that current or are you working your way back to that? I was confused because you said you were at a…

Beeps - it's hard to watch without cringing I bet! I would find it too distracting, lol april1445 - welcome =) kpedersen - I love that you get quantity with quality!! I never feel hungry or deprived anymore. Oh and CHEERS to CHOCOLATE!! =P I am going home to crush me some squats and deads... RawR have an awesome night guys!

^^This^^ - on a fast longer than 16 hrs, no, I haven't been eating all of my cals but if I were to add in more healthy fats, I don't think it would be too hard. I look at those days as Beeps does, banking them for a planned out meal or trying to get myself back in line after a couple crazy carb days!
