[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just started a 16/8 IF schedule a few days ago. I've already lost a pound, which is great, although probably has to do with ditching my post kid's bedtime glass of wine than anything else! I had a baby 10 weeks ago and had gained about 5 pounds after losing all the weight in three weeks.

[b]I currently weigh about 204. I am looking for a manageable change I can make that will essentially be semi permanent. [/b]I would like it if I could eventually be in the 180s or even, a pipe dream, the 170s but I am happy with my body and my life so this is more about health than self worth or confidence. I also really don't care if I lose the weight over the course of six months or six years. If possible, please just bypass this thread if you want to tell me how obese and unhealthy I am!

Anyway, I seem to be doing pretty well. The only part that is at all hard is wanting coffee before 11am (when I break the fast) but I can't drink it black.

My main question is if it has to be 7 days a week. I feel like overall this is totally manageable. But I am missing the occasional glass of wine with the bachelor or whatever and want to go on dates with my husband and am wondering if doing this 5 days a week is enough to see results. And like I said, I'm not in any rush, just want to ensure that I'm a few pounds lighter post baby than heavier.

I am active, I jog and go to yoga classes if that makes a difference.

There's a current thread near the top of this forum with someone posting about a successful strategy who started exactly where you are now. Good luck.[/quote]

Do you mean the woman who just got under 200? Shes amazing but with all due respect she started at 275 and has aspirations to get to 140/150. And she made pretty significant changes, because she was after very significant weight loss. So not the same goals or situation. Or is it another thread you could point me to?[/quote]
