Crabapple Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I've been watching my weight steadily creep back up, especially during the last month or two, so I'm making this post as a form of accountability. I want to succeed while I still only have around 20 pounds to lose (at one point I only had 3-5 to lose [cry] ). I intend to do my best to stay away from wheat, dairy (except for the little bit I put in coffee three times a week), candy, and alcohol (except for religious purposes). I am also going to see about getting back into intermittent fasting better than I have been doing it (which is actually half-assed right now). I'm thinking the eating window will be between 1-7 p.m. not counting the coffe days (and I intend to wean myself onto black coffee or run with no coffe once I get into the IF groove).

CleBkPkr Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thanks for sharing this. My weight loss has hit a plateau. It is frustrating. I talked to a trusted friend about it and he said his weight loss was cyclical. He would drop a few pounds and hold steady, than drop a few more. It took him the better part of two years to hit his goal weight. One thing I do is use myfitnesspal faithfully. Every single thing I eat gets logged. The app helps me sort out macros, nutrition and calorie count. I don’t cut out any macro. What I did do was change my habits. It was a process. I only drink black coffee, tea or water. Unsweetened Almond milk in my breakfast smoothie. I eat 6 times a day lol Mostly the same stuff too. Chicken, green vegetables, eggs and fruit. If I want bread, it’s a whole wheat pita. I’m still working on this but it’s funny how I don’t miss the junk food at all. But I will have a little dark chocolate sometimes!

Crabapple Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 I was researching something about coffee (I forget what) and came across something that said coffee leaches calcium from your bones. A friend of mine says it doesn't leach very much, but I think it might not hurt to just not drink it anymore. Now, if I loved the flavor, it might be a different story.
