Ready to try this again
Hi all, I tried IF a while back - well, twice. The first time it worked fairly well, the second time -- not so much. My life and by association, my schedule, recently underwent a significant change. I realized though the circumstances were unpleasant (reduced employment), and scary and all that - it meant I had more time…

LC x ?
This may be the third or fourth time I've tried LC. I've lost track. The point is, I want it to be the last time. I want it to 'stick' this time. Each time I quit before, it wasn't because it didn't work - it worked fine. It was because I got mean. I was sure in no time I'd have no friends, or even no job if I didn't stop.…

Eating Out
Is there a link or thread somewhere that lists things to order when eating out. I'm particularly interested in best choices at Indian, Mexican and Chinese restaurants.

Hi
I hope you all don't mind - I will be 60 in a couple of months, but the over 40 and 50+ groups just don't seem to fit me as well anymore.

Dieting for a New Decade
Not a calendar decade in this case, but a new decade of life. I read a quote a while back about making changes, it was helpful to find the 'minimum effective dose'. As a lifelong over-analyser and recovering perfectionist this was an entirely new approach. It was also very appealing. These days I read about the diets and…

I saw this today
https://www.livingthenourishedlife.com/dear-body/ Dear Body, When did all this begin? We’ve been at odds for as long as I can remember. I started resenting you when I was six years old and someone called me fat. I wasn’t, but it didn’t matter. I had a creeping suspicion that you weren’t good enough, and one day I decided…

Newbie
Hi all, I'm new to SBD - I really know very little about it. I went through a stressful patch a few months ago and gained nearly 20 pounds - and I already had 20 to spare. When I went to the doc a while back, my doc suggested SBD. I thought it looked reasonable, especially based on the posts I've read here. I'm not waiting…

Trial and Error
I was doing intermittent fasting, and that was great. For about four months, then I rapidly started putting on weight, all in my belly area. Guess I'm done with that. Just 'eating less' now. I really dislike logging food every day, but I feel like it's gotta be done, at least for a time. What about you? What have you found…

OMAD to Me
I've been doing 14/15:10/9 IF for a few weeks with variable success. Weeks 2-5 were amazing, then my weight started bouncing back up. The effect of that was to mess with my mind, and I've gained back 1.5 pounds. I find not eating much less difficult than I thought, so I started thinking it makes sense to do more of what…

Maybe it's time
For the past 5 years or so, I've just accepted that this is how it is at my age - weight goes up, the body gets flabby - that's just how it is. But right now I'm feeling a bit rebellious. I don't know how long it will last, but I'm ready to try :)
