Holy cwap!! That's amazing!!

I've been good today ate well and exercised ...

Sun: I get sun almost daily I walk to work, it's only 5 mins but I run every second day and I get some sun there too

Age: I'm 53 and I feel like I look it specially since I've let my hair go au naturale but I don't physically feel that age at all... Which is one reason I try to keep physically in tip top shape, I want to be the gray haired lady with the hot body

I haven't IFd yet myself, well, maybe I did I skipped a snack this afternoon

Evening ladies!

Jennylou that is awesome!

I have never IF'd and don't really intend to. But I do go far longer periods of time without eating than I used to. I only think I should eat something now because my cals are low. Less than 1000

Ilene you look lovely!!!!!! You skin looks awesome!

Susan I haven't really done a long IF like MDA talks about but am glad not to feel guilty or like I'm killing my metabolism by missing a meal if i'm not hungry. I read about 24 hour IF over there. I'm pretty sure as a diabetic I would croak.

Wow those are low cals! Are you just not hungry? Ketosis does kill the appetite for many.

Well my snack lat night ended up being a few oz almonds instead of cheese. Changing my numbers to:

cals 1657
fat 112
protein 123
carbs 43.

I am shocked how fast my scale dropped since Mon. Wow I must have been holding some serious water!

Jennylou, that is great!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Have a great day everyone!

B: Omelette(onion,peppers,squash), cottage chz w/blueberries

I did eat more.
96 gms fat
19 gms carbs
100 gms protein
1350 cals

Perhaps one low day won't hurt a thing but, it's quite ingrained in my head that starving causes binging. Old habits die hard.

Sun? I like it and feel (and think I look) healthier with a bit of a tan. But I'm pretty fair and burn easily. Couldn't do a half hour every day. I can burn in 15 minutes. A couple of times over the summer I'll lay out with a book or go to the beach or somebody's pool or DH's ball games. I also like to sit outside for my coffee breaks.

Don't listen to Ilene. She does not look 53.

I do not recommend IF for type 1 diabetics. That is science kinda far flung for me

Can I just add that I'm really enjoying the bright enthusiasm in this thread? Smart, encouraging folks I like it!

Here ya go my friends!

Susan, I can't wait to go home and watch it ... I can't hear it at work

I've been doing good too, yesterday carbs were under 100g, I can't remember exactly though... the scale was down 1 this morning :

Hi guys! Just wanted to ! I think I'm going back to my original plan. I had some, um, unpleasant side effects that might have gotten better if I persisted through, but I just couldn't. I might be back for another try later though. Looks like you all are doing AWESOME!! I'm so proud of you!

This was good! The presenter didn't sound convinced, did she? Still wrapped up in conventional wisdom.

Midwife - noooo! I'm going to miss your sense of humour

I just turned 32. I don't do much IF. I may be able to once I'm used to the lower carbs. I usually need to eat 3 meals or I feel light-headed.

I'm slowly lowering my carbs. Probably a little too slow, but I'm more likely to stick with it if I go slow.

Aw Midwife! But whatever you are doing is working very well for you and we like that. We'll see you around.

I need groceries! I just nudged my cals up to almost 1200 by dipping my cheese in the butter

Midwife, I'm going to miss you here, but I know I'll see you around these boards

I ordered Mark's primal cookbook a couple days ago. I'm looking forward to it. I'll give you all my review.
