@quiltingjaine. Thank you. I have heard it all. My mom was so critical of keto & fasting & now she is basically keto & would like to fast. I have made myself a chart like the old WW one just for fun that I plan to share once a month or 10 days if it is worth it. I have no idea if this the winning path for me, but it is the…

@shmmm3 Thank you for making points that I did not. Learning to fast also helped me with meal time anxiety. When I was young I would cry if meals were out of schedule. I would not encourage anyone to just fast without doing research & knowing about electrolytes needed to fast safely

Thanks for your concern. I do appreciate it. I have been at this for years now. I gained weight quickly (80lbs in 12 months) after quitting smoking in 2007 & have not been able to lose it. This is just a new game to me. I fast smartly, with supplements & electrolytes. I will not push myself too hard, or ever feel bad. My…

Good morning! I have set a weight loss goal of .35 per day. My niece is getting married on September 16 & I would like to be happy to look at pictures of myself in her wedding pictures. I know that life happens & 52 year old, heading to menopausal bodies, do not always cooperate. If I have not reached my daily goal 2 days…

Hi all! I am jumping in today. It has been a while since I have been active here.

Yes x 3 for me! This is the first month since February that I have continued to post. I am not where I once was with calorie restrictions but day by day I am getting more in control & closer to where I need to be to attaining my goals. I decided to take the baby steps of posting, logging & adding a little exercise this…

Yes x 3 again Another day of heavy gardening in the heat. I have fixed years of overgrowth & planted some perennials in 1 garden. I am almost done our pond garden as well. Getting there, but I am very thorough & digging up roots & tubers rather than just pulling. Calories are on track, macros are a little off, but getting…

Yes x3 for me. Another very active day in the garden. Since the gym is still not open my gardens are getting the time & energy that i normally put in at the gym. Hopefully all this work will make them easier to manage so that when things get back to normal I will be able to manage both.

Yes x3 for me. I considered using a pass day but I didn’t need to.

Yes x 3 for me today. I am getting closer to breaking most of the bad habits that I had since March. I finally feel I am getting control again. My macros are not perfect, weight loss macros but by next week I expect to be mentally ready. Sleep is always a challenge for me. Sometimes I sleep well, but often I wake up in the…
