geordiegirl 17 Jan 2:49pm, 17 Jan 2025 26,342 posts	0 geordiegirl Good way to question it pix. I try to aim for 1800-1900 per day but 1500 is a high cal day. Garmin seems to give me circa 110/mile. I tend to ignore cals burnt unless I’ve done a lot of exercise. Weigh in this week is a STS. Mildly disappointing as I’ve been very focused on eating good food and we’ve walked rather than vegged on sofa (makes up for the lack of running) but as I’ve said ^^ I’m trying to remind myself that I’m making better choices if my body doesn’t want reduce then so be it. I get tired of constantly stressing about what I can/can’t eat. I did have a protein yoghurt pouch for breakfast (it was out of date but tasted ok) and I’ve bought some higher protein mousse things from Aldi to try & some things to make as snacks. Onward and downward hopefully
cathrobinson 17 Jan 2:55pm, 17 Jan 2025 13,274 posts	0 cathrobinson I’m currently +2lbs after the first trip, but I very much doubt that’s real. I didn’t eat 7000 more calories than I needed in 3 days. We’re off out for a meal tonight so I’ll probably weigh in again on either Sunday or Monday before the next work trip.

I’m no lighter than when I bought it and it didn’t fit. (One of this button through blouses that fits/is big on the top but the last button over the hip is a disaster) happy with that!! (Even if after pizza it will be small again 🤣)

Dave W 18 Jan 4:21pm, 18 Jan 2025 25,597 posts	0 Dave W Been reading up and on this log about fasting. I could do with losing about half a stone or so, and have toyed with the 5/2 method in the past but found it too hard to maintain. My willpower is rubbish, so needed something simple and that wasn't too onerous. I do a lot of exercise, but just need to watch the calory intake a bit. So, on Tuesday I started fasting from seven p.m. until seven a.m. It really doesn't seem to be too difficult to do. Whether it has any value or not I'll let you know if I lose any weight. Along with the slightly longer days where exercising outside gets easier, then I might be able to shed a few pounds. Time will tell.
Shades 18 Jan 4:55pm, 18 Jan 2025 5,857 posts	0 Shades I don't fast but my normal routine is that I don't eat between 7pm and 7 am, this makes no difference to my weight as what counts is what I eat in the other 12 hours 😅 Dave - if you often snack in the evenings then sticking to 7 - 7 may help you cut calories and eat less. If you don't snack in the evenings it will make no difference at all.
Dave W 18 Jan 4:58pm, 18 Jan 2025 25,599 posts	0 Dave W Fair comment. Not huge for snacking on an evening. But I think I’ll try to stick with it for a while. See what happens.
