[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New here but not new to IF.  I’m Jen.  I’ve been doing IF on and off for about one year.  Consistently all of 2020.  I lost only about one pound.  I keep losing and gaining the same 2 lbs.  I’m trying to stick to it.  
SW 119
CW between 117lbs and 118lbs
GW between 110-113lbs
I’m 5’1”.  I know I don’t have much to lose but it’s still frustrating I’ve been doing this for so long with so little progress. I started at 16:8 and now do mostly 18:6.  I’ll keep trying and will follow this thread.[/quote]

The daily caloric requirements to maintain 110lbs versus 117 are less than 50 calories apart. I would track the value of what you eat for a week or two without changing your diet, then run a calorie calculator for both weights. You’ll be able to more accurately back out your level of exercise that way, for a more useful calculation. Then it’s just a matter of dropping the required number of calories, or adding in some exercise. The math doesn’t lie. [/quote]

I exercise 5x/week but never use that to add calories at the end of the day.  I've read Dr. Fung and he talks about how calorie restriction can be detrimental to metabolism which is why IF appealed to me.  Maybe it's also the quality of my calories. [/quote]
