@redhead_che Welcome! I have long admired your amazing bikini pic, seriously green with envy! Glad you are finding IF easy and effective. I also find fasting in the morning to be far easier than at night!

@Matt Z ... Ugh, so sorry you're dealing with all that. I think it's really good you acknowledge the 200 lb goal is arbitrary and doesn't lessen the incredible success you have had. Doesn't make it feel better though! I also admire you for going to the gym while dealing with shingles. The mountain climbing is awesome, and would scare the sh*t out of me!

Thank you!
(I've also admired her bikini pic, she looks fan-fukin-tastic,I'd love to see before and after photos from her, I'm sure the transition was impressive!)

CBD oil?

Get well soon and you're still Sexy AF on any side of 200 lbs...

I've got some dronabinol that I take for sleep that helps a tiny bit, it's just THC though. I don't have any CBD oil sadly. SWIM reports that cannabis helps out quite a bit and nightly use helps with pain. I'm a federal employee though so, *I* can't partake in anything not legal at the federal level (thank heavens the FDA approved a THC medication even though they claim THC doesn't do anything worthwhile... *eyeroll*) but SWIM reports positive effects on pain.

I don't even know what being sexy feels like. I'm still dealing with some bizarre body dysmorphia. I still see myself and feel very fat. But thank you.

Ask and you shall receive! This is from 225 and 127. I’m going for 115-120 now with IF. 💪

I do 99% of my progress photos in that silly little bikini just to track where work still needs to be done. I promise I do wear clothes 😂

Thank you much 🙏 but it’s you guys I owe for helping me at this end stretch. Like I said yesterday I’ve just been reading the thread for months never actually trying and wala! Next time trust the regular posters faster 😋

I did the same, I read everything, watched the videos, did my own research... really is an amazing "diet" method that has so much factual science behind it, I just couldn't not do it. Feels more like this is how we are supposed to eat (how are bodies are designed to work), from a purely physiological standpoint.

Ok, here's some stuff:

I have this cream called Pennsaid. https://www.pennsaid.com/

Then also:

Emla Cream https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-2358-8170/emla-topical/lidocaine-prilocaine-cream-topical/details

Aloe Vera with Lidocain (Walgreens/CVS)

oatmeal Baths (colloidal oatmeal) - Aveeno (Walgreens/CVS)

Cold Baths

Cold Compresses

No tight clothing

Then the big guns:

Gabapentin (Neurontin)

Amytriptiline (nerve pain, tri-cyclic anti-depressant)

Norco (hydrocodone + acetominophen) - 10/325 (I take this when I can't stand the pain anymore.)

Also the combo of muscle relaxants and Norco works awesome when the neuralgia is at a 8-10.

Hope those help you hon!

I would wear it to work, to play, to restaurants and plays! To Walmart. I'd have 7 of them and wear 1 per day.

Oh and I would also have a boom box with me playing this repetitively...

I love IF. I'm back down to my published weight after this weekend's hedonistic bacchanalia. (Just sayin', Johan Sebastian...man everyone should party with that dude!)

I wouldn't limit myself to 7, I'd have one in every color imaginable .... kelly green, lime green, forest green, lemon yellow, mustard yellow, coral, safety vest orange ......
