This is such a great story Jimmy! I'm so happy that you started this community! It has really helped me.

Scrolling through all of your food is making me hungry lol. I love what your doing though.

welcome @Little Purple Duck! I think Jackie covered a lot of those questions pretty well. You should look to do omad everyday to really get the best results and benefits. I eat my meal in the late afternoon because of my work schedule as well. Sometimes I work overtime though and it ends up...

Welcome @sabrath! Looking forward to reading your journal. You are right about the negativity in the fasting world. So many people with negative views, opinions, and always wanting to give their 2 cents. Some people argue just to argue about something related to fasting. I find it refreshing...

I take very similar pills, and 1 lemon, grated ginger and oil of beauty. I take it with my OMAD meal at Dinner time.

There are different variations of carb cycling but I'd almost consider just taking a break from with moderate carbs if that's your intention. Sometimes a break can be good.

I do! I love carb cycling, it's a sustainable way for me to eat what I want and still lose weight. I work out 5-6 days a week, HIIT and strength training. HIIT on my low carb days and strength training on my high carb days. I'm actually focused on maintaining now as I've more or less reached my...

Happy Birthday to your son! Also, give it time for the results to start happening. You can do this! I love walking as well as it is very relaxing and peaceful. I try to walk at least a few times a week around my neighborhood.

^^^^ What Jimmy said is right on. Ignore anyone that doesn't support you in changing your ways. You will find the real people that support you are ALWAYS with you no matter what.

We are happy to have you @HalfGEEK! Congrats on your progress! You are correct in eventually hitting struggling times. I went through my first 5 days and was thinking "this isn't too bad". But, then everything hit me at once. I really really struggled and eventually fell off the wagon. I had...

Hi @Sandrabutton and welcome! The 4 hour eating window is for consistency. Chances are, because of your everyday schedule, you won't eat at the exact hour everyday. By having a 4 hour window, you keep your eating time around the same time. I believe this helps you maximize intermittent fasting.

Welcome! This website has a ton of info that you can help answer a lot of your questions! I'm curious though, it seems you have been getting some different information from a lot of different sources. Like Jimmy said, keep it all simple. There are so many people out there that say this and...

Welcome to the forums @Bodymakeover2008! I went through a hard divorce as well and I gained over 80 pounds afterward. I was depressed for a very long time and did nothing but eat. I was thankful when I discovered this website as well as it gave me a whole new perspective on weight loss. I've...

Flavored water (crystal light) has been a lifesaver for me. I do drink mostly water, but sometimes I need something different and having some crystal light helps satisfy me until my next meal.

This is so inspiring! You go girl!

I love some enchiladas. Just had some yesterday....might have some again today:)

I was wondering if you can chew gum while eating one meal a day out of your fasting window? I'm curious because this is a habit that I'm used to and wanted to get some opinions.

do you take metformin once or twice a day? With or w/o food?

Are you still talking meds? Have your blood sugar levels come down?

So embrace it until you get to goal weight. Why fight it?
