Good Morning 😊
@prettygreenteacup @Laura221*@thisonebreath @Knitclubchatter* @boredboredboredboredbored @OokSaidTheLibrarian @Prisonbreak @Praiseyou @lpchill great to have you join us. Great thread, fab support, no judgement, a safe place to share your successes as well as rant or moan about your not so good days.
I’m imagining what I could look like/achieve by Monday September 30th. I like to focus on my waistbands being looser, my shirt buttons not straining (recent progress has seen my top size reduce from a firm 16 to a 12-14 depending on cut and my bottom size from a 12 to a 10) To be honest I don’t think my top size will reduce much more as I have naturally huge boobies. My bottom half is ok as it is really. It’s my mid section that needs to lose the podge. Smaller waist size would be great!
@Ipchill that sounds like a plan! I walk my dogs daily too, it all helps!
@cheesenpickles well done 👍. Low carb definitely helps reduce the bloat etc. I reduce carbs but not to the point I wouldn’t be able to have some brown rice for example.
@boredboredboredboredbored Congratulations on your planned Wedding 👰🏼 You could definitely reach your goal of a stone off by then!
@OokSaidTheLibrarian purists would argue that with 16:8 you don’t count calories. That just by eating in the 8 hour window only your food intake would automatically be less. However, from my own experience that doesn’t work for me. I combine 17:7 (slightly smaller window) with calories counting and a mainly Mediterranean diet, little to no alcohol. In regards to finding your own calorie count, use an online calculator to work out your TDEE then eat about 500 calories a day below that if you’re wanting to lose about a 1lb a week. Good luck!
@SunshineCake I hope you’re still not suffering from the Coke!
