Dropping this here because one of the many reasons IF is great is the reduction of inflammation

Cash, You don't see how good you look?!?!? We do... 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

I'm always super impressed when people have the clarity of mind to admit their gears and shortcomings, but also take action to repair it. It takes a lot of strength of character to do this. You have been honest with us with a lot. Thank you because someone will benefit. I'm ALL about the alternative to the traditional foods. There are many pizza (or anything else you like) recipes that will make you feel better about your choice. I'm also all about salads because I can eat these limitlessly. FYI when I think I have no restriction left it's because I'm eat way too many sliders. My sliders aren't even unhealthy or snack like. They just delay or never prompt the full signaling like other foods. Alternately during the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle, I really really really do need a higher caloric intake. This is when I have to be hyper vigilant. Consider these elements as causes as well as mental ones when it comes to binging and restriction. And kudos for looping your Team in. Stay strong and wonderful. Congrats on the accomplishments to date!

Congratulations 💙 not everyone has such Quick smooth or pain free recovery (me) so be proud and amazed by your wonderful body! I lost weight slowly but I learned it all adds up in the end if you stay the course. Safe Journey 🎈

Don't get totally discourage. Try to find any silver linings and golden seams. You could technically continue a modified pre op diet and lose even more weight, like Boss, prior to Surgery You can also just stay engaged and accountable by joining us here

Forgot to add. This was a day where I did not complete the exercise or no junk food portion of the challenge!!!!! I helped a friend at an event where I was stuck with out proper food for a really long time, I had to eat regular low fat chips, scavenge chocolates from other vendors. So epic fail because I didn't plan well enough and had zero control over my environment. It happens but it was just a single day in a lifetime. No more excuses from me, Back to it !!!

15 Months Post, lots of the same patterns. Routine foods occasionally eating out planned splurges. Calories most days not above 1200 except during luteal phase when I need more. Exercise is walking most of the time but recently started jumping rope again as a part of a challenge. Created a January challenge and gave up protein cookies. I lost a few more lbs. Newest weight is 151. Change in weather means im sick, but running a FEBRUARY challenge. Still a good choice

*SWEATING BULLETS* thank you so much , I only ever intended to take this journey with everyone and call you all my travel partners. I rely heavily on the support I find on this forum too 💟💟

Crying into my faux mocha, Thanks!

You are doing awesome!!! Rocking a size X-small!! Great job! Those are just the leggings so it doesn't really count does it? lol and they were on sale the real reason I bought that size... But the do fit. Hahaha

Thanks!

I also started to think, if I lose slowly but it stayed off forever could I be happy with those outcomes? Yes. So that became a focus. The endgame. [emoji738]

$.29!!!! that's a bargain!!! [emoji738]

No judgement once I added avocado and pistachio... [emoji738]
