I think I did pretty good for my first week of 16:8 intermittent fasting. I lost 4 lbs. and I'm ready to lose more. I really think changing my total calories to 1200 is helping. My husband bought a set of allen wrenches to tighten up my treadmill since I lost the one that came with it. I also oiled the belt so it is running nice and smooth now. I try to walk every day and if the weather is bad I can still walk inside. Sometimes I just don't feel well and don't want to go outside and wave to the neighbors etc. I also like that I don't have to worry about what I look like and can just walk in my pajamas if I want.
When I first started I got really hungry and it was really hard not to overeat when my fast ended. I quickly learned to eat something more filling or I'd end up eating more. The first day I had cereal and that left me feeling hungry. Now I am picking foods that are heavier and more satisfying. After the first few days it got easier and I even went a little bit longer. Sometimes I went an hour to an hour and a half longer. I hope it keeps getting easier.
I have been just eating two meals and usually end up skipping breakfast. That works for me anyway.
Okay, I'm ready for week 2.
