Thanks for starting this thread!! I joined the gym in January but since we've been plagued with -20 degree nights, I haven't been leaving at night. it's just too darn cold! Before my daughter was born, I was an avid runner. I ran a marathon when I was 4 weeks pregnant, and have only run ONCE since then. I need to get back…

Good fast day yesterday! I got on the scale today (love getting on after my fasts) and I was 171 Monday morning, and 168.8 today! This is the lowest I've been since my daughter was born in June!!! Seriously so happy with 5:2. It's been a savior.

Fast day going pretty good here. I was trying to wait until dinner, but had to have a banana as I'm starving at work! I've already had 70oz of water too. Can't wait to get home and eat some dinner!

oh and JKnight, the thyroid is .. okay. I was taken off my meds for a week due to a reaction to them, and now we are slowly reintroducing them to see if I have the same reaction. I was upset to go off the meds, but the chest pain/tightness wasn't feeling good either. (i don't get on on the weekends, so i didn't see your…

I love fast days. Don't know why, but they are so easy! I always feel in control, and much lighter (and hydrated!)

Happy Monday everyone!! quiet weekend at home. Snowed all day on Saturday and was nice to stay home with the husband and daughter. We watched some movies. Yesterday I put some chicken in the crock pot and let it sit all day. It pulled RIGHT apart. YUM! I'm starting my AIP diet (as of yesterday) and I'm a little intimidated…

I've tried it but I am just so hungry after a fast, that I normally don't make it until lunch time. LOL

Hey everyone! My 2nd fast day was yesterday and for the first time, I went 22 hours without eating at all. I spent all my calories on one meal, and I really liked it. I also lost again this week even though I ate more gluten free donuts than I should have. That brings my weight loss up to 7.4 lbs since 12/30! So excited. I…

I have to agree on the logging..I think I was overeating on my feast days and undoing everything. last week I ate really clean and lost 3.5 lbs. So I think that has a lot to do with it!

Morning everyone! Sorry I am so quiet over the weekends! I am not on on the weekends. I take off to spend time with my family. Back to work today. I skipped my Monday fast because I was home and it's just too hard. Back to work today and fasting. Looking forward to it. I ate too much crap this weekend with the Hubs for…

Thanks! He started me on 50mcg and maybe it should have been 25? I really wanted a more natural medicine, but of course docs don't want to give you the good stuff.

I did it!!! I was 169.8 this morning!!! Finally! I lost 3.4lbs this week. I do attribute some of that to my thyroid medicine kicking in. However, I've been feeling short of breath, and getting some chest pains since starting the medicine, so i'll be going to the doctors today to make sure everything is okay. I'm a little…

FD2 for me today. I too am already hungry, but drinking some warm tea. Weigh in day is tomorrow, and so looking forward to a 3 day weekend!

My 2nd fast day is tomorrow! I ate really clean yesterday. I was happy about it. I hope to be in the 160's when I weigh in on Friday!!! (fx for 169 or 168!!)

Yep! Way of life!!! That's just what I always assumed it meant! Glad I was right!! and thanks, my daughter sure is a cutie!

I agree!! Such a great group! I'm now up to 2.8 lost since Friday! I never ever get on the scale more than once a week, but I just can't help it this week. LOL. My fast was over 500 yesterday. it was bad!!! I was so hungry. Oh well, I'm not too hung up on it.

thanks! :)

Hypo/hashi's here! Just diagnosed last week. Feel free to add me~

it could have been a coincidence but after I ate this pizza, I felt like I do when I get glutened! I'm not getting again it to be safe. it's the only GF pizza that's done that to me!

Karen- been doing great! I really like this WOL and it's been working very well for me. It's a slow and steady loss, but that's fine because that's a sigh it's going to stay off!

what gorgeous pics!!!! Well, I am down 2.4lbs from Friday! So, thinking I was hanging onto some water weight when I weighed in. I've lost 5.8 lbs since 12/30 which is the most weight I've been able to lose in YEARS!! I was always gaining and losing the same 2-3 lbs over and over. I'm hoping once my thyroid meds kick in,…

Have you been tested for Celiac Disease? These were my symptoms too. I went undiagnosed for years.

Well... gained again this week. (WTH?) So, so much for seeing the 160s.. now I'm back up to 173.2. It sucks to back slide so much. I did lose an 1" from my waist, so that's something, right?

I want to be 145 because for my height, it's the higher end of "normal" I'm considered pretty overweight because of my height (only 5'3.5" and weigh 173). I'd love to be 135-140 but I haven't been in that range since 2011. Plus, I've had a child.. so I have no idea where my body weight will settle now. I've gained the last…

Finally got my butt back to the gym last night and did 30 minutes on the cross trainer. WOW. That was tough. I had a baby 7 months ago, and didn't exercise until just last month. So... I'm in pretty bad shape! Anyway, I did really good with my calories yesterday and logged everything and was under by 300 with my exercise.…

Sounds yummy Flumi! Have a great trip!

Wow Flumi!!! You look amazing! As for me, I've only been doing it just under 2 months and it's slow, but I've lost 5 lbs. I've never been able to lose more than 1 -2 lbs without gaining back, so it's successful. I really think I will do better when I'm exercising more and making sure I don't go crazy on feast days!

Interesting topic.. I have a problem on my feast days. I still need to pay careful attention to WHY I want to eat on these days. I know I can go on far less, so why the urgency to eat?

My husband got the Fitbit Charge HR and is loving it. I wouldn't mind having one, but I just don't want to spend the money on it right now.

Fasted yesterday, and ended at 499 calories. Didn't get out to the gym.. 50 MPH wind gusts and 5 degrees... whew. Nope! I stayed at home and cuddled my 7 month old! I'll get there this week, just not last night! :wink:
