Miz, My experience has been that I will go for a while without losing then out of nowhere, I am down a lb or two.My weight also bounces a lot. Right now it is bouncing between 146 lbs and 151 lbs. It is as if my weight is coming down for a landing. As soon as it bounces down to 145, I am changing my stats. As I recall, last year it seemed like I wasn't losing much at all until I reached the end of the year and not only did I reach my goal for the year, I managed to lose 2 lbs more than I had planned.
Miz, I see that your BD is 3 days before mine ( 4/11/57 ). I also see that you are a grandma. I am assuming that we are near the same age and I have discovered that age plays a huge role in weightloss. Although I am losing, it is in a different pattern from the way I lost 5 1/2 years ago. And, of course it is a different pattern in comparison when I was in my mid thirties. In retrospect, I was in my mid-upper thirties when I began to gain weight. I consider weightloss with IF a more successful lifestyle than LC alone because it has enabled me to lose safely, without changing my lc lifestyle. I just purchased a pair of jeans at a really cheap boutique and the were size 9s. They're cute and they give me a cute butt. That has nothing to do with IF I just want to point out my size 9 jeans.
Another thing, Miz, what is your activity level? I find that I do not have to be super active a lose a little weight, which is a different story in my pre-IF days. If I spend an hour or two walking at the mall, I will have lost close to one pound. Oh, I gotta go...Blaine's Low Carb Kitchen is on.
