[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charlotte here...a few days ago I had my first “whoosh” and lost 3.4 lbs overnight after holding pretty steady for a week.  So far it has stayed off.  Very motivating! Coming up on four full weeks of IF and making my 10,000 steps a day and I’m down just about 10 lbs.[/quote]

Congrats- what plan are you using? 16:8? I just read Delay don't Deny and she says to not weigh in for the first 28 days- that the first 4 weeks are more an adjustment period than weight loss period.  I just started and feel like I must be losing some weight as I'm hungry a bit and then don't overeat when I'm in the eating zone.  [/quote]

Charlotte here! I didn’t follow that rule about weigh-ins for the first 28 days...I naturally did IF for my entire pre-kids adult life before I realized it was a thing and so I didn’t think I needed much of an adjustment period! And I immediately saw results and it has been super motivating for me.  The key is definitely looking at the weekly average rather than daily fluctuations.  I’m at 12.2 lbs down since May 24! I aim for 16:8 every day, but it ends up being a 4-6 hour eating window during the week and I roll with it.  I am more flexible and do the full 8 hour window at the weekend.  I also try to get 10,000 steps in and generally mind my portions. I am definitely still eating carbs and desserts here and there. Good luck to you - I bet you will see results![/quote]
