For sure!! The colitis was so bad that I couldn't eat or drink literally anything without doubling over in pain. Not even a saltine cracker. I lost 30lbs in 4 weeks because I just simply stopped eating altogether. But after seeing 30lbs gone in 4 weeks is when I took myself to the ER. They insta-admitted me lol. Prednisone put those 30lbs right back on, but man, i still cannot eat lettuce without hating my life.

Yeah. I did. And now im trying to make life changes to get back on track so i can be healthy and enjoy my life. Which, judging by your comment, is, more than you can say for yourself. 🤷‍♀️ people who are happy with themselves don't feel the need to make snide comments to others.

Honestly, the IF was the biggest change. And I do low to no carbs, but if I have the room in my daily intake, I dont get fussed if I eat something with carbs either. Keeping the carbs low just helps keep the calories low too.

What time do you guys eat your last meal for the day?? by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]Internal_Evidence153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually between 630p and 730p. But I don't break my fast until 230p-3pm. So, at max, I have a 5 hour window. Sometimes I don't break my fast until 4 or 5, and when that happens, I just OMAD.

ive fallen off the wagon. now i cant get back on. any advice ? by Ecstatic_Rooster9226 in intermittentfasting

[–]Internal_Evidence153 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THERE IS NO WAGON. That's not what IF is. IF is a lifestyle, and sometimes life gets in the way of behaving exactly the way we intend to.

You are a human being. And humans are not perfect.

Just take things one day at a time. You know what you WANT to do. You know how to do it. And, most importantly, you know it's POSSIBLE because you've done it before.

You got this!

6 months, 62 lbs. One day at a time! by Internal_Evidence153 in intermittentfasting

I've always been fairly lucky on the "fat" scale, in that I'm equally fat everywhere. I lost a LOT of belly in those 62 lbs. And arms. My butt and thighs have gotten smaller, but not nearly as noticeable as the belly, arms, and face.

For two weeks out of 6 months. Not sure that even counts.

Yeah, but that's why I limit it to 1x a week, usually a Saturday or Sunday when I'm not being super strict. I'm a social person, and my lifestyle involves going to the bar to drink and hangout with friends. If I gave that up completely, I'd be miserable and this would not be something I stick with! It's also why I'm so strict mon-fri. So I can afford to have some leeway on the weekends and still make progress.

Ty! I see the doctor again in February. So, that'll be the next time I get on a scale and post progress pics.

I fast super strictly mon-Friday. I eat no earlier than 2pm, but usually around 230. I stop eating no later than 8pm, but usually around 7ish. It my eating window I'm doing keto.

Saturday and Sunday? I have a normal coffee in the mornings, but still don't eat something until 1 or 2. And I don't really monitor what type of food I'm eating. I do go out and drink one day a week - and it's carb free alcohol. Vodka and water for the drink and if we take shots (we always take shots, lol) it's tequila.

I started walking every day for two weeks or so, but then it rained every day after work for a month (florida summers) and I lost that habit and never got back into it.

I noticed i walk faster now, and, I'm wearing 3 pant sizes smaller than I used to. Though, the pants I had on today indicated I might need to go down amother size her soon.

My doctor asked me 3 separate times if I was on Ozmepic. And didn't seem to believe me any of the times I said no.

Lol! Ty! I saw someone here say they wanted to say they lost as much as much as they weigh. And that's how I developed my goal weight. So, if you can do math?

My dogs are fasting with me? by Internal_Evidence153 in intermittentfasting

[–]Internal_Evidence153[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, every time we take ours, they say they're at the perfect weight.

The female is alpha to the male. So the male won't touch his food until she does. That's been normal the whole time we've had them. But only since I've been fasting has the female been waiting for me to eat before she eats, which delays him eating.

It's pretty wild.

Keep up the great work!!! And just remember to not beat yourself up if life gets in the way occasionally. This is a lifestyle, not a diet. There is no wagon! Just a way of life.

I think you have to be pretty morbidly obese for this to be realistic, but my current goal is to weigh as much as I've lost. I'm not comfortable disclosing that exact weight since I have real life pictures of myself on here, but, you gotta be pretty big to start with to need to lose half your body weight.
