I have been so busy, that I completely forgot to post on Tuesday, which is when I am trying to post now. Okay, so as my title states, yes intermittent fasting does work. It did great this first week for my current weigh-in. I lost 3.9 lbs, I was very happy. I feel I can intermittently fast in the mornings, and then have lunch, and then dinner. Which keeps my calorie intake lower. This is what I will be doing from here on in. I think it was a great success, and I hope on Sunday, I have another successful weigh-in. I am so happy to see the number going down on the scale. So very happy. The intermittent fasting is paying off and is worth it. Now to just continue doing what I am doing. When I fast, by the end of dinner, I am less than 1000 calories, so I need to eat a little more during the day. Because eating more at night is not a Continue Reading
Weigh-in #15 – What Can I Say? It Happens!
It is Friday, and I haven't lately been posting this late in the week. On Sunday when I weighed in. I thought I did well that week, but apparently, from what was staring back at me on the scale, it wasn't as good as I thought. I lost a measly .2 lbs. Was I disappointed? Absolutely! I was crushed! I expected more than that. At first, I thought I had lost 2 lbs. My husband said the expression on my face said I was not happy with the weight loss. Then, I was instantly corrected by what my husband said. He said I lost .2 lbs. I thought, What??? No way! I was thinking that in my head. I instantly just got so bummed out. My husband looks at me, and tells me "Don't let this discourage you", I said, "It's not, it just disappointed me!" That is where I am. I've been bummed all week, which is why I am just posting this today. On Tuesday I Continue Reading
Weigh-in #13 – Hopping Along Nicely!
I just had to add the word hopping like an Easter thing. Anyway, this will probably not be long. But I am very pleased with my results this past Sunday. It is what I would like to achieve each weigh-in. Hopefully, I can keep that up. I was looking at my pictures and I seem to wear almost the same thing each morning. I just happen to have the nightgowns I wear. I don't do anything but brush my teeth, and grab the scale to weigh myself, my husband weighs in too, as he is losing a little bit of weight. He is looking great. I wish I could be where he is. I would almost be at my goal weight lol. Eventually, I will get there. On to the photo. I lost 2.3 lbs yay, way to go me! I am really proud of myself. I am feeling that weight difference now. My clothing, they are becoming loose, which is a good sign. I wanted to quickly say a Happy Continue Reading
Weigh-in #12 – Not As Much As I Had Hoped!
Even though, it wasn't as much as I had hoped to lose. I still lost weight. My husband thought I was disappointed when I got off the scale. But he completely misunderstood my expression. It is so weird. People all my life have gotten mixed messages from my facial expressions. I don't like that about myself, but it is, what it is. We discussed it and cleared the air, which made me happy. He may have been a bit frustrated about it. But I prefer to clear the air. Now, the weigh-in. I think there may have been a day or two where I may have left things out. So I would blame myself. Even so, I still feel it is a WIN because I am still losing weight, even though it wasn't as much as I would like. I try to average 2 per week, this week was only 1.3 lbs, which is okay. I went from 296.0 to 294.7 lbs. I can't wait to get out of the 290s. Now the Continue Reading
Weigh-in #8 – Slow And Steady!
I choose to backdate this, just to stay on track with my weigh-ins. I know it is not ideal, but it helps me, and I am admitting to it Lol. I have been so busy, and I just run out of time to do all the things that I want to get done. That does not stop me from logging my calories, and just overall watching how much I eat. This weigh-in was another successful one for February 26, 2023. I lost 2.1 lbs, I want to lose at least 2 a week, so it has been going okay. I checked on the MyFitnessPal app, and according to what it said. Since I am eating 1660 calories a day, I should only be losing 1/2 lb, but I don't reach my full calories, I always try leaving a cushion of at least 200 calories. You may be thinking why don't I just drop my calorie intake? Honestly? I don't want to, I feel if I can manage to have that cushion and still lose more Continue Reading
