33M, 5'9", SW:243 lbs, CW:203lbs, GW:161lbs - One Month Later

It's been just over one month since my first post about starting Intermittent Fasting. It all started with an inspirational post from u/chanel___oberlin that just made me rethink my whole perception of how I was trying to lose weight.Since that time I've dropped from 221lbs to 203lbs. A rough average of 3lbs per week over 6 weeks but it's definitely not tracked that way on the chart, with one week being a non-mover (much to my frustration!) and others being single pound weeks. But it's all progress.This week I honestly thought I would be weighing in at 200lbs, but it wasn't to be. I was disappointed but unperturbed. It would have been a mammoth loss to have hit 200lbs this week; dust off and assess what happened in the week that might have caused it.I still insist that anyone thinking about starting Intermittent Fasting needs to stop thinking and act! Don't waste time wondering if it might work or if it might be difficult or if it might not be for you. The only way to learn that is to actually try it.My wife was not wild on the idea of fasting, so she tried 12:12. It didn't stick. She doesn't like the restriction of not being allowed to eat after a certain time, but she now knows it's not for her. She has already started to focus on a more exercise-centric routine, without having to compromise on sweet things that she can have as and when the craving hits.I'm proud of her for coming with me on the weight loss journey, even if we aren't going to walk an identical path to achieve it.Again, if you're second guessing whether it's for you, or you want to "wait until Monday!", just ask yourself why you're waiting?Stay strong and stick with the community for support! via /r/intermittentfasting https://ift.tt/3vFd5Tb https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
