Hurrah! Happy Dance! This morning's WI = 14st 3.25lbs That's almost 3lbs from last week but down 1.5lbs from a fortnight ago when I gained slightly following birthday celebrations! Woohoo!
I was trying to remember how many weeks I've been doing this now - I reckon around 8 weeks? And in that time I've lost 9lbs. I'm so pleased... I keep thinking about how I have managed to lose that weight whilst eating food! And have been able to run too!
I don't want to post a link to it and break forum rules but I was reading an article about IF on t'web and it was talking about all the many different patterns of fasting - it's great reading about people's different fasting journeys. Fasting can be anything from missing a meal to a full on, hard core 30 day thing! I will definitely play around with my fasting pattern again if I hit a plateau or want to address a small gain.
Also, P, I was wondering, re the sleep thing - we joke about it, but I wonder if getting a good amount of sleep helps too? I know when my littleys were more little and sleep was a rare thing, I was starving all the bloomin' time!

Brilliant loss, Miss Happ!
Re the sleep thing - it definitely does help. There was an article published just last week about lack of sleep making you fatter .... at a high level, if you're tired you're more likely to make the wrong food choices, crave carbs, sugar, etc
Enjoy your weekend!

Oooh, and I've dropped below 200lbs! Excellent milestone, methinks!
Worked out that I've got around 19lbs to go to get into overweight category and not obese. I try and ignore BMI as much as possible, tbh, but it's hard to shrug off sometimes...although still obese, I reckon my fitness levels are pretty good. So that's something to be positive about.

Morning all!
Had a nice weekend with family, some good food and two lovely 6 mile runs. Didn't weigh Monday morning as I fancied trying to 'ignore' the bounce from my UDs. I did wonder about not weighing all week but I think I like to be prepared if I'm going to stall or gain a little! So, weighed this morning and I'm 14st 3.25lbs - exactly the same as Saturday's WI with 2 DDs to go...fingers crossed then for a pound or even two this week!
UD today - back to my usual pattern this week. Now, I managed the 2 lots of DDDs last week OK - hard, but OK. The part I found most hard was knowing that once I had done the first DDD, I really had to follow through with the second DDD because my weekend UDs keep me sane and I'm not giving those up for *anything*!
Just wondering what to have today before I head off to work...mmmmm.
Have a great day everyone!

This week's WI: 14st 1.25lbs!
A 2lb loss this week - really chuffed with that. I've lost about 11lbs using ADF in what, 10 or 11 weeks? You know, I'm not even counting the weeks - it's just 'what I do'! I've never broken a DD, never once thought about 'cheating'...I've eaten healthy food, had treats and *still* lost weight!
I am starting to sniff out that number 13 on the scales now...wonder if I will see that in a couple of weeks? It doesn't seem very long ago since I saw 15 something on the scales and 16 something before that. What a positive difference I have made to my life.

Woop. I got sore hips just thinking about that. Also, I don't think I'd be allowed out the house long enough to ever get that far!
No sore hips thankfully! In the time it took me to run 9 miles, my mega fit hubby ran 16 - and he was pushing our 3 year old in a running buggy!
Seriously though, I have to get out to run - it's me time.
Thanks, Eve. You know this really does work for me. Hope you make your way back to IF soon?
Not too much of a bounce after this weekend's UDs - weighed in at 14st 2.25lbs this morning - so just a lb gain after 2 UDs. I reckon that 9 mile run burned some serious calories! I also notice that running curbs my appetite rather strangely.
Had some homemade soup today plus my usual banana and 0% total yoghurt. I don't even count on DDs now - I just know what to do. Looking forward to my UD tomorrow - I'm on a training course at a venue that does the most delicious food. Yum yum.
Wondering about when to try a DDD again - maybe in a couple of weeks. Just 3lbs til I've done my first ADF stone...
Feeling hungry - I think mental hunger rather than physical - so about to deploy the age old coping strategy of an early night.

I didn't measure at the start which is a tad annoying! BUT, more people have commented on my weight loss since I have been IF than did when I was losing weight on S&S. Now, that could be because the weight loss has finally started to be noticeable, or it could be because I am losing more inches? I don't know for sure.
What I do know is that the scales took a while to start going down but they have been going down steadily. I have had some bounces, a STS and even a small gain...but when you look at the big picture, I've lost 11lb! Not to be sniffed at!
