And there's the love for the IF again. Within .2 lbs of my lowest again just like that.

Down to 224.1 today. I was 310 on my pre-op official check in, I was 294.4 the day of surgery.
So... that'll put me at 85.9lbs from pre-op official. 70.3 from the date of surgery and 145.9 from my max.

NEVER! LOL I weigh in daily, or as close to daily as possible. Always try to keep it consistent as well, same time, same routine, same outfit... sadly my go to outfit is getting a bit wrinkly and lose. LOL

IF has been decent to me as well... Lifestyle accepted

Yum girl!!!! Those meals look delish! So does that golden tea/milk!!! Congrats on getting back on your fasting schedule and on exercising. The walk alone is VERY impressive, but then adding strength training too--you are burning the fat girlie!!! Wooohoooo! We want you to weigh again soon!!! (Now that girlie-time is almost over...)

OK, so yesterday marked the end of 3, 24 hour fasts! Yippee!!! And I don't mind telling you that yesterday was hard. Oh, it was hard by the afternoon. But thank GOD for @GreenTealael's green tea mixed with the black teas I have here (Matt I'm gonna work on getting some of the ones you rec'd.) like Bigelow Peach and Celestial Seasonings ones. And of course, plenty o' decaff black coffee and tons of Water. I'm happy to report success!

Today I will do a 14/10 fast and eat normally, no caloric or macro restriction. I'll have 2 meals + the popcorn at the game and I may or may not have a couple of sips of a Diet Dr. Pepper. Dunno. Oh and a few peanuts--can't eat too many of those or I will feel ill, but I can handle about 8-10 max.

I'm down to 157.6lbs. I never dreamed I'd wake to this whoosh. I felt like it might happen cuz I was peein' like a racehorse last night. But I'm afraid to feel excitement cuz I don't want to be disappointed in the scale going back up. I did have some poopies over the past 2 days and of course pee'd a lot as mentioned. So it's quite likely 99% Fluid. But hey, I broke the 150 barrier by the end of September which was my goal!!! Wooohoooo!!!

I didn't wake up a Starvin' Marvin' like I did yesterday, so think I will be fine making it through noon to 1pm on coffee and Water and supplements. But boy do I have plans for lunch! I'm jonesing for my greens Soup with shrimp and maybe one of my homemade meatballs (my daddy's recipe) that are lurking in the freezer all innocente. That's Spanish for innocent. hehe I make them up, cook and freeze on a tray, the bag and tag for later. They are 1oz portioned. I'm gonna make it Asian style. Hold me. Tonight we're just doing quick lettuce wraps with BH turkey and BH lacy swiss and veggies. No biggie. If I get hungry--which I won't, I'd probably splurge on a few almonds and 5 bing cherries.

Ok, that's all I've got! Super thrilled but trying not to be. Last time I weight this I was a senior in high school.

Girl time is going to start soon, I have to chocolate prep for it 😂

Hello!

Been a busy couple of days! But a good couple of days!

Thanks for everyone for talking me off the ledge. I was ready to throw in the towel with all this healthy eating stuff. I'm glad I have a place to be honest about the struggles, without judgement.

So two days ago, first day back on the wagon, was a great day. Eating within a 6 hr window. Look at these macros!

And I actually cooked, real food. Well, threw stuff in the Instapot. But that's more than I have done forever, if I was just cooking for myself. Lesson learned. No matter how many recipes tell you to do so, Pasta in the Instapot is not a good idea!

And, in other good news, the Premier Protein Vietnamese coffee agreed with me just fine. Was my whey Protein intolerance maybe temporary??

Yesterday wasn't a good day for macros or protein, or fluids, or even IF really, lol. But, I had two meals out, and made relatively good choices. So I'm counting it as a win. Especially considering I had a graze-y type lunch that made me HUNGRY after, and I resisted the fast food siren call afterwards. I also visited a friend of mine, a bartender and only had club soda.

These are probably totally inaccurate, but gives me an idea at least

[sillykitty 10,775]

Ohh ... and the scale is moving in the right direction again. I'm close to the weight I have listed on here again!
