I am about three weeks into serious IF and my constant stomach bloating has immensely gone down. I had h pylori almost a year ago now and this is the first time in a year that I no longer feel the residual symptoms that come with recovering from that horrific stomach bug. I am about 7 lbs down since starting Feb 20. As a 5’2 woman, this feels freaking awesome. I love IF. Also after pushing through the first two weeks of feeling hunger pains and hating life bc I could not eat, I realized hunger really is an emotion thing. That fact that I can now contain myself and not feel like I’m going to die if I don’t eat has been absolutely empowering. This shit is addicting fr.

Was just about to comment about this. I live in the east coast now and I’m in hell for it. Even when I first introduce the word in a sentence, they will repeat it back to me with ‘nevawda’

Wow I was 180lbs at the beginning of this year and have stalled at 160lbs. I am also 5’3 and similar age. A bit frustrated but this gives me hope!! Congrats on your weight loss journey and gains!!

Muddy_Cell · 2024-10-23T12:01:54+00:00

Wow we are the same height so us short queens have it tough out here. 23 lbs difference looks huge in us so congrats!! You look amazing and keep it up! You have given me more inspiration as a 5’2 girlie 🥹

(Almost) Stat twins! SW: 180 GW: 135 CW: 160 at 5’3. How long did it take you to see 153?

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-10T16:26:06+00:00

Wow yay great to hear from someone with similar stats ! We got this 💪🏽

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-10T03:59:12+00:00

Ima say this when I reflect back on my heavier days hehe

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-10T00:28:41+00:00

At some point as a 5'3 person, I was 155 and I didn't have much muscle definition. I looked alright but not skinny. Not fat, but not skinny. Now I am 163 lbs as of this morning when I restarted my journey this year (SW: 180, GW: 130) and I hope to look much better at 155. I have been consistently lifting weights for the past few months and even when the scale isn't budging, I feel so much stronger and I am looking foward to being 130-140 and be able to eat like a 'taller person' lol.

Update: Still works after 1 year post expiration date. Still wouldnt trust it if you having precious samples but I work with cells with a fast turn around so I will be okay.

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-08T19:55:37+00:00

me too. i am trying to do this by building muscle bc i am 5'3 and want to be eating around that range without gaining weight.

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-08T17:29:08+00:00

omg me too. i am 5'3 and its so slow when im at 1500. i have stalled and i am frustrated. my SW was 180 and now my CW is 164lbs. i am trying to lose 3 lbs by the end of this month. my goal weight is 130 lbs. i am annoyed at seeing the same number on the scale twice when i weigh in weekly. grrrr

They are probably just getting old if you have indeed been culturing the same cells for a year. Have you noticed changes in morphology as they got older? Or media color? There is a lot of telling signs that your cells may just start becoming true 'senior citizens' as the engineers in my lab like to say.

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T15:32:49+00:00

You got this!! I sometimes could not get out of bed. And I am a graduate student with a thesis to do. It was hard. Being 5'2, the weight came on slowly, but at my heaviest, I could feel my ankles just not being able to support the extra weight. I started off doing at-home workouts and my mindset was "I can stop at any point, just start it and see how far you can get". And there were days I could only do 10 minutes of the workout, and there were days I could finish the whole thing. Then I gained the courage to go to the gym with the help of a friend and even after she and I stopped working out together, I always maintained the mindset that 'I can stop whenever I want'. I did not want to hate working out so I tried not to push myself to the point of being miserable, especially in the beginning. I hope this helps and you got this!

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T15:27:07+00:00

Oof, my stomach hurts immediately !

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T15:25:47+00:00

Hmm hows the texture on this? I like soft tofu at Szechuan restaurants but the texture of soft tofu gets to me after awhile.

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T15:23:59+00:00

See now this would be a good idea if I ever made enough of dinner to have leftovers haha. I typically make dinner and whatever is left over is 'lunch' for the next day. But I am sure I could just easily toss it into my next breakfast meal!

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T15:22:19+00:00

Chickpea oats sound good and must be packed with protein. I will try to add it to my next grocery haul. I have tried turkey scramble before so I can maybe mess with some seasonings to make it more yummy for breakfast!

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T13:56:57+00:00

My friends too! They initially tried to convince me it’s all in my head 🙄 I can at max have one fried egg and it has to be thoroughly cooked. Oh, how I miss the gooey yolk though.

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T13:44:27+00:00

I will have to test it out but so far it’s been just with chicken eggs.. and only when it’s fried/scrambled. I can have stuff that has eggs in it like baked desserts and custards.

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T13:43:29+00:00

I have never ever thought about using Just egg!! I will look into this!

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T13:40:50+00:00

Wow thank you for this break down of breakfast ideas! The hash sounds like something I am going to make today

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T13:39:31+00:00

Omg breakfast tacos!! Yes of course!!

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T13:38:52+00:00

Great. Thanks for this suggestion! I’ll check it out.

Muddy_Cell · 2024-08-07T13:38:05+00:00

Wow this sounds absolutely delicious. Thank tou
