I know some of you in this group have done intermittent fasting, but has anyone done the alternate day fasting? I was just reading about it and wanted to see if anyone has a personal experience about it before I try it.

Has anyone done any hormone testing to determine best weight loss plans for you? Did it work? What did you use? Or is there research to debunk that?

Remember, this 6 month journey is not just about losing weight.

It is about life interfering with your plans, which is what got you to the point of signing up for this game. How you handled the sidetracks in the past and the consequences....

It is about holidays and how you handle them. Do you jump off the diet cliff and lie moaning at the bottom OR do you just get right back on track and keep moving even if you overate at one family meal....if you can get the family to go for a walk after the big meal, extra points for you!

Do you beat yourself up over falling off your plan and wallow in chocolate and pizza OR do you forgive yourself and start again stronger (and start again faster than last time)?

You are learning and growing, it is all part of the value of the game....

PS sometimes you cannot make a perfect choice from the eating options but you can make a better choice or the best choice possible.

Sometimes you do not have the time or are not at the gym to do a perfect workout BUT you can find a way to move more.

I used to go the lonnnnngggg way around to the ladies bathroom for 2 reasons: extra walking AND avoided the kitchen with all the homemade goodies...

Be kind to yourself today and find something to be happy about and something to be proud of yourself about!

Yesterday I ate my body weight in chocolate. Well, not quite, but easily a kilo! I also had my parents stay, so the drinks and food was flowing.

Regardless, I still worked out every day. Some may wonder why, as it didn’t put a dent in the extra calories.

What it did do is maintain a habit. So now Easter is over (as is the *planned* binge), I woke up this morning to do another 45 min bike ride and back to my usual toast with jam.

Feels like less of an adjustment than previous years, where the binge would last longer and the exercise was harder to get back into.

Happy Easter!

So overall I’ve been sticking with my goals and had great success with the consistent 30 minute work outs, fasting and eating clean. I fell off the bus this week, and having a hard time resetting my mindset! How do you guys reset and get back on the bus??

I’m not giving up, but need recommendations on intermittent fasting. Does it work? Is it ok if our eating window is in the evening before bed?

Looking for recommendations for a walking pad/walking treadmill! Ideally I’m looking for one that I can use with my standing desk but also is easy enough to move around if I want to shift it infront of the TV. Id like to keep it under $600 if possible. I’m also in Canada which makes it a little more challenging but if you’re from the US and still have recommendations please share!! 🚶‍♀️
