Hi - am thinking about doing IF and do not have probs with Cal restriction a few days a week. Would like to connect with others doing it as do not want to mess up my metabolism by overdoing it. My daily goal worked out with a pro is 1660 cal per day so how do I work out what I need to do if I change to IF? Have Gluten…

Hi from Tauranga - have to sort myself out again and get back on track. Hoping that checking in daily here again with exercise and food will get back to where I should be. Dumping 4.5kg (to start) by the end of March is my first goal.

I agree with FatFreeFrolicking - unless you know what you are talking about it is best to not say anything. There are some awesome people here who are only too happy to help and support you, Minideema. I am insulin resistant (not yet Diabetic) and desperately trying to deal with it. Recently I did a course as recommended…

Hi and not sure where to start! Am 57 married with 2 children, 2 grandies and a lot of excess weight to shed. We live in Tauranga but originally from Rhodiesia (now Zimbabwe).

Says it all ...

I really feel for you - am also hypo after radioactive iodine - please check what you can access as it is really important to take your meds, not only for weight but also for all your other organs incl brain fog :sick: Good luck and best wishes

Irregular hours = meal times, exercise, sleeping all over the place = not always making good choices. Sometimes overeating then under (forgetting to) Problems staying motivated and committed, putting my needs last (not sure if using that as an excuse or just habit?) and endo probs ....

Good luck with this as you can see we are all different and respond differently :flowerforyou:

Thank you so much for the websites - am a large frame according to this so am happy to know that what I thought was a short term weightloss goal is actually the correct long term one - yay ..... :smile:

well said :smile:

I have also had my gallbladder removed and had probs re weight gain (also have had pancreatitis to complicate things :) ) - found the only way to control it to some degree is stick to a low fat diet (only include good fats via Omega in salmon etc, small amounts of olive oil) lots of veg but caution re fruit as high in…
