[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can do it! I started at 195 a month ago (I’m 5’5”) and want to get down to 140 or thereabouts.  I started in earnest on May 27 and have lost 9.9 lbs as of this morning.  I am doing IF and getting in (or trying to) 10,000 steps a day.  I mostly eat between noon and 6pm, but I’ll extend my eating window to 8 hours if it feels right on a particular day.  I haven’t felt really deprived at all (pre-kids when I was thin, I never ate breakfast!) and the immediate results are really motivating me.  The mental health benefits of taking a solo walk with a podcast every day are also huge.  I just feel physically better this month than I have in a long time.  My resting heart rate has gone down 15 points since I started per my FitBit data.[/quote]

Any podcasts that keep you motivated?

I am Anita. My current weight is 185 at 5 4”. This is the highest I’ve weighed. Hypothyroid, borderline diabetic and menopausal, the perfect trifecta. I am an emotional eater who does well with exercise but is prone to bingeing. I mostly resort to stress eating. Dh is not the best partner when it comes to weight loss. I hate to say this but he sabotages my weight loss( likes to keep me over weight and under confident) by bringing in junk that are my weakness( fries, sweets etc). I am tired of the yo-yo dieting and need some solid partners to see me through my goal weight of 135.

The Intermittent Fasting Stories is pretty good, but mostly I just listen to random enjoyable non-wellness related podcasts on my walks.  It is my me time.  Since that post above that was quoted, I have lost another four pounds. Still feeling really good and sticking with it.  A close relative had a major (very bad) medical diagnosis in the last two weeks so I haven’t made it on a walk every day, but I am still fasting.  I definitely lose weight more quickly when I get my 10,000 steps in but I am not going to beat myself up. It is still an enormous achievement to keep my nutrition mostly in check under difficult circumstances - the old me would be face first in carbs and ice cream.  I go by Charlotte on other threads, so I will use that here too![/quote]
