I am starting IF today. I have gained 20 lbs in about 2 months and I just don’t feel or look like myself. I joined the gym, had my black coffee and am visualizing my vacation in 2 months where I’ll be down in weight at least a little bit. I thought I would come here to remain accountable. SW/CW: 178 GW: 155
I’m starting today also! I’m at 172.5 with the same GW. I don’t think I made it 16 hours from dinner to breakfast but I made it almost 15… hoping today goes better. I added an app called zero to track the amount of time between dinner / breakfast and then added my fitness pal to have a food log… zero is neat though because you can just snap a photo of your meals to visually see what you were eating.
I have a line in one of my notebooks that says, “if I had started two months ago, I would already be where I hope to be in two months. If I don’t start today, in two months I’ll wish I had.” (I was struck by the two months you mentioned because I’ve always thought of two months as a good time period to see losses or gains.) Good luck!!!
Go get it you guys! Every day is day 1! get through it, and start again tomorrow. And those days when you don’t feel motivated, just come back to this post and remember how excited you were to get started and use that to power through. You got this!
I’m on Day 2 and back on track 20:4 today Yesterday was Day 1 for me and it was terrible after sliding backwards I had food withdrawals felt like shiite and hating myself Hang in there! Day 2 is better!!
