Hi,
New to posting but I thought it would be good to share my experience in the wonderful world of weight loss… I am a 57 year young guy who is very active and has been for many years, I have struggled with weight most of my life even though I play sports, hit the gym and was fairly diligent in eating the right foods. This past summer I weighed in at 250lbs… yikes, I had to do something as my hips, knees and feet were in constant pain. I started IF with the 16-8 method and last a few pounds, this wasn’t going to work as I ate a lot during the 8 hours. Not the best idea… so in October I started the 5-2 program and a modified LC program at the same time. Well I have now reached 218 pounds and have been extremely happy with progress to date. I can see the progress is starting to slow but I have made it through the holidays and my birthday so I hope it is clear sailing from here. I go to the gym 5-6 days a week doing resistance training, spinning classes and HIIT, so you can see I like to stay active, I also try to get one game of hockey in a week also. My goal is to get down around 200lbs and maintain and this seems where failure typically happens so I wanted to join in and support fellow IF’ers and hopefully receive some back… thanks for reading.
