Oh, I definitely want to try this when I get back from vacation in july. Look forward to reading everyone's update on their results.

I've just completed my 6th week and I love it. It just works with my lifestyle and my eating habits. I was nervous at first to eat really low calorie twice a week but it was easy. I recommend trying it for week. If it doesn't work for you, switch to something that fits you. There is no magic to it just spacing out your…

The ELF Diet - Eat Less Food

I would be interested in any updates on how this worked for you. I'm not totally convinced. I have very bad allergies. In fact I am the only one in my family with allergy. I grew up as a really picky eater. I would have normally avoid almost all the food on the list. I always assumed it was cuz my family ate everything and…

Thank you. You gave me great ideas. Can't wait til I'm back to normal

I want to thank everyone posting about ground beef. I actually gave it up for awhile but that was based on the number of calories at mcdonalds and burger King (places I don't visit any more). I guess I would hear you need to stay away from ground beef even though I loved burgers. I had my first burger in a long time (no…

I agree. The more weight I lost, the less noticeable they are. I would even say that there gone.

I've been doing IF for 5 weeks now. Not an expert. I workout while fasting - lifting heavy weights with no problems. On a side note- a lot of IF sites recommend LCHF which is why I'm here. I got alot to learn. Dr jason Fung is awesome. Watch his youtube videos

Do all desserts have to have sugar or fake-sugar?

I was at an omelet station at a restaurant. The guy next to me told me not to get tomatoes because they make you fat.

All going good after my first month. I've modified in that I no longer eat breakfast. On non-fast days, I only eat lunch and dinner with normal calories. I view it as a mini-fast and it allows me to have bigger lunch and dinner. I'm really happy with how things are going. I no longer want to snack. I would love to have…

I try to eat only 1 meal. It seems easier to me. My main goto is a cheese omelets with lots of veggies. Then I will have either salad or yogurt or nuts to get me to the 500 calories. Love omelets. I've only been doing this for a month. Sometimes I'll have chicken

I just completed week 2 and am very happy with how things are going. I'm finding fast days really easy. Since I'm still so new, i'm definitely staying on it for March. But I see this as an easy lifestyle change going forward.

I log every day. I was doing this before starting 5:2. I probably will keep it up to I hit my goal body then switch to not counting and do weekly weigh ins. Hoping to maintain following this.

Hi trakkie, I only just finished my third day and found it easier than I imagine. It sounds like you got it the same day as the stomach bug or something. I'm not an expert but these don't sound like normal symptoms. Do you take medicine in the morning, I know some meds have to be taken with food. I recommend giving it a…

Got my blood test results back today. Everything is in normal levels. No more bad chlosterol. :D

Hi, i'm a beginner. Thursday I had to fast for a dr blood test. I decide this was a good day to try it out. Instead of eating immediately after the appt, I waited till dinner and had my 500 calories. The next day, I ate normally and wasnt wanting to snack as much. I was amazed how easy this was. I plan to fast on Tuesday…

I was standing in line at a restaurant waiting for my veggie omelet to be cooked. A overweight guy next to me said that I should not eat tomatos because they make you fat. I'm at my normal bmi so I just smiled and nodded. However, the nice part is my kids keep bringing this up and laughing about it. At least my kids know…

Been there many times myself. Wish I could offer better advise but you just got to get thru the first week or two then things get easier. Keep strong you can do this.

I think you are taking it the wrong way. We are not saying that he is right. I'm suggesting that he might be just an idiot and not a perv. She needs to tell him again not to touch. However, you do have to realize there are lots of sports that do this. Doesn't make it right but doesn't make them either pervs.

For the looking that's his job. He needs to be watching you. The slap is wrong. Speak up or it will start to effect your workout. Your focus needs to be on what your doing and not whether is he going to touch you. Also, don't always think the worse. Some people are just that way and need reminding that we are not. I only…

I'm not much of a sweat person either. It is normal. Don't worry - just keep moving forward.

You are my hero. I'm 45 now and your proof that I can do it. Congrats and thanks for posting.

Eye opener on how easily people are tricked. Sad But true.

Congrats! Any inches lost is a big deal!

Weigh daily - keeps my focus line graph weekly weight to visually see progress body measuremeets monthly - another source of progress for when I don't see it in the mirror

Nor too far behind you in years. Your definitely great motivation on what can be achieved. Congrats

Congrats! Wow! You ain't just feel in bad *kitten*. You look it.

Wow, me too. I hit my all time weight. low the day before Christmas and couldn't motivate myself to continue. But I am now. We can both do this. I have a goal pair of shorts - only $20. I'd hate to buy an expensive outfit. I guess your goal size would be dependant on how much you have to lose. Maybe 1 to 2 sizes down…
