Glad you're hanging in there @darcy. You're doing the right thing posting here. Please post here often to get past the difficult phases - you'll find lots of support here.

You're doing awesome @Katgirl I tried to do a run on the treadmill last night as it was really late but after about 15 mins I was clock watching and at the end of 30 mins I just had to end it I think my preference is outdoors - new trails or streets that I have not run before. However, with the days getting shorter and cooler, there will definitely be more treadmill time.

I think it's normal to feel that way on some days. Lots of factors go into how the body feels on certain days. Athletes will control their diet and activities days before race day.

Nope! Nice pics @Cbdave

Congratulations @Kate18 Every milestone is a celebration. The ice cream sounds yummy.

Perhaps you're doing better than you think.

@jillar and @Katgirl, thank you for your inputs and appreciate it. Especially the concern Perhaps you may watch Science of fasting and Intermittent Fasting lecture by Dr. Jason Fung. They're both kind of long ... I will acknowledge that most people do not like the idea of not eating multiple meals a day including my Dr.

That is awesome! Sugar is the enemy of weight loss. btw, there is new research to show all calories are not equal. I won't go into it here as the few people I've mentioned it to have been resistant to the idea but the information is out there if interested.

Congratulations @IamMommaBear! The first month's the hardest. Stay strong.

It's Wed night and I ate this evening after 72hrs. It's a pretty amazing journey. Did harder than normal workouts on Day 1 and 2 and took it easy today with only a walk after the meal. I think I can no longer eat as much when I do eat and the stomach feels full quickly (or it could be that the refeed process is slow with gaps and causes one to feel full early). Will stick to omad and 48hr fasts for the next 2 or 3 months and next long fast will be a 5-day fast. The waistline is down for sure. For anyone interested, you can look for Science of Fasting or Dr. Jason Fung's lectures on Youtube.

Congratulations on 9 years, Leanna.

That is so nice @Opah. Congratulations!

@Katgirl you've got a great workout going. I wouldn't worry too much about the calorie calculations by the different machines - they may have their own margins of error. As long as your body is telling you it was a good workout, that's important.

@mightyboosh, Congratulations on 2 years.

4 weeks omad done which included 3 48hr fasts. So have had 6 meals a week last 3 weeks. Had a feast tonight and starting a 72hr fast. Will next eat Wed night and intend to do all workouts as normal. This is such a win - no shopping, no cooking, no cleaning, save money AND heal the body.
