Great! I invited you both to a group on MFP. Can't wait to share our journeys!

Great! I look forward to following you all! Let's do this!

Add me too! I have lost 45 but I have 80 more to go! I also started a group here called Weightloss and Wellness Lifestyle if you want a supportive group.

Anyone can add me. I have 80 more to go!

Hello! My name's DaNae. Welcome!

You look great! 36 pounds has made a tremendous difference! Keep up the great work!

You are a success story! Also very inspiring to all of us life long dieters! So glad you've found your happy place!

242 same After doing IF 17/7 and sometimes 18/6 for 3 weeks I stopped losing weight. Some research suggests anything more than a 16/8 is bad for women. So, I decided to not fast last week and start again this week. We will see if going back to 16/8 works without the stall. Great to see everyone's results!

242

I know it's not what you want to hear, but the scales lie sometimes. My weight has gone up 2 pounds this week and I just say LIAR! If you're losing inches, clothes are getting looser, and your face is slimming you are losing weight. The scales will catch up! I've gone 2 weeks with no weight loss and then boom 5 pounds!…

So inspiring! I love your collage. What an accomplishment in 1 year!!! You should be so happy. You look great! I'll be sure to check out your blog!

Hey Crystal. I don't know how much help I can give but here it goes. If you have that high of a deficit you should be eating more! MFP has already calculated a deficit for you to lose the amount of weight per week you picked when you set up your account. I feel MFP actually sets your daily goal too low to start with so…

I am 5'10 and my goal is 160. I am currently 240. My lowest weight was 150, but I didn't feel very good at that weight.

I've been doing IF about 2 weeks now. 17 hour fasting - 7 hour eating window. I've lost 10 pounds so far and feel great! I probably have a lot more weight to lose that the other members, but I'm ready! Thanks for creating this smaller group for us to stay motivated and prove it works. I need like minded people that…

You mentioned you were breastfeeding. You burn a lot of cals with that. Make sure to count that in your exercise cals. Make sure you get all the calories you need to keep producing as well. Other than that if you feel good I would say congrats! It will probably slow down a little but you're doing so great!!!

Currently 5'10 244 lbs. sz 18. Lowest weight 150 lbs. sz 10. Couldn't get below the sz 10 with my hips.

I'm wondering the same as Riley. You have to get in all your calories about BMR on your feeding day. I just started IF today 16/8. Personally I think 24 hours is extreme especially if you're not a bodybuilder.

Thank you Crystal! 

You look fantastic. Inspiring! Can't wait to see results like yours!

Beautiful! Great job!

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll try to get a heart rate monitor just in case. I love MPR!

Dawn, Go to Home then Settings then Diary Settings to make it public.

It is amazing how much whole food you can eat. I'm not doing great right now. Trying to transition and use up the things I bought that were just low calorie. I love to eat so clean eating is great for me. I've been researching volumetrics, clean eating, and I'm on the eat more weigh less group. It really makes more sense…

Thank you! I have increased to 1800 after calculating my body fat and bmr. They suggest more, but I think I'll try this for a while and see how it goes. I feel much better today after eating 1800 cals yesterday. Ready for my Zumba tonight!

Thanks for all the ads. Its great to have a large support group. I will try my best to encourage everyone as much as I can on their journey!

Everyone is so supportive here. I will in any way I can. We can do this one day at a time. We're all here for the same reason. I wish you great success! 

Thank you so much! I am definitely increasing my calories. MFP is too low to maintain long term.

I've been doing it for 5 days and feel smaller. My weight has only changed by 1.5 pounds, but I'm going to measure today. I know my tummy is flatter and my booty is lifting. It's a great feeling to see results in the mirror. I love it! Addicting! I'm going to incorporate some Jillian Michaels Shred next week.

I guarantee it was jealousy. Maybe she needs to get her eyes checked! I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Don't let it get you down. Some people are just dumb. She should have brought you the size you told her. I've never had that happen and I would be horrified, but really just mad. Maybe she thought she was shopping for…

You were beautiful before, but you are one hot mama now! Congrats! You look fantastic!
