Same thing happened to me. Six months ago, I was able to lose 15 lbs. I started a new job that constantly had food being delivered. Long story short, it took me 2 months to regain the entire 15 lbs. I had to quit that job. I'm now working in a healthier environment. My clothes are finally starting to loosen back up again. 7 lbs down as of today.
Thank you for being honest and real. That’s what we need. ❤ I used to rock IF and fasting. Then peri menopause hit which is also throwing my thyroid up and down. Now I’m on the struggle bus with all the other women. I’m dealing with ravenous all day hunger regardless if I eat the right protein and fats. Saying my daily prayers for strength and willpower. Hugs to all the women struggling. We CAN do this. 🙏❣️🙏
Bless your heart, Amy. I can hear your struggle the comment. But, you can do this. You know how to do it...because you used to do a great job at IF. Perimenopause and menopause is no joke...and I know that some women have worse symptoms than others.
Thank you for sharing! I have been on the struggle bus for awhile now. About a year and a half ago I did IF and couldn't believe how well it worked. I honestly don't know what derailed me, but I am pretty much back to where I was. I know I can do it again, and I appreciate your encouragement! I am just kicking myself for over eating and gaining a good 10 lbs+ Oh! I also just got a rebounder!! I had seen your video about the benefits of rebounding and so I spent a month researching-then bought a jumpsport. I've taken it easy to start but I enjoy it so far! Thank you for all your advice and being a light in the craziness of this world! ❤
Oh, you're going to love your rebounder! ...and yes, you can totally do IF again! You know how to do this. So it is easier to get back on track since we already know how.
I also need to get back on it! Like you Sandy, over the holidays and then a trip to Hawaii in February. Then grandkids birthday parties and just plain and simple got off track. Gained 5 pounds and not feeling as well as I did. So, after my Easter splurge yesterday, I am going to give it my best and get back at my intermittent fasting! Wish me luck! Wishing everyone else in the same boat luck too!
@@sandysteinbrook I really think this is key. As painful as it can be, seeing the scale on a daily basis helps to keep things real and gives you immediate feedback instead of having the proverbial Come to Jesus moment at some later time...
Thanks for sharing. It is nice to know that others struggle with this. I was at a plateau after I lost 30 pounds on IF, got discouraged and let myself enjoy the holidays. I gained 5 pounds back in 6 weeks. It has taken me three months to lose those pounds. Grrrr. Not doing that again.
Same thing for me too! I lost 40 lbs on intermittent fasting in 2017 and then Covid hit! My Yoga classes were shut down and when she was finally able to open back up, it was at a time I couldn’t go. I did some Yoga at home on video but that loss of connection really killed it for me! Then I slowly started gaining it back, even though I continued IF. I just didn’t have enough activity to burn what i was consuming and I KNEW this but my mind was just not in the right place. I have now gained back 30 of what I had lost! I’m trying to get back on track and this video was a confidence booster! Thanks for being real with us!
Thank you for sharing this. You can totally do this, Amy! I think sometimes we have to hear that you're not alone, and we can encourage each other to get back on track...mostly when we already know how to do this. I am right here with you and we will do this together.
I understand the frustration! Until I switched to a clean fast, I was not losing weight. Do you do a clean fast? Only plain water, black coffee or plain black or green tea is consumed during the fasting hours.
I do IF 16:8 and gained 7! I think for my post menopausal body it increased cortisol. Stressful time of life. I had to just go back to the 1970s mindset of no snacking, no eating after dinner. Kitchen closed after dinner but I eat within an hour of waking up. Weight slowly coming down.
I did intermittent fasting but yes I kinda stopped it really ate what I wanted and it came almost all back. My highest ever weight was 222!!! Now I’m 214 but trying again and yes I’ve watched Mindy Pelz too. Just found your channel about drink this before sleep helps melt fat at night. So I will try tht too. I want so badly to get under 200!!! My goal is 180 so getting back on track and Ty for tips!
You can do it! The drink that I make...I now drink it right after dinner or on an empty stomach a little before I break my fast. That way drinking it doesn't break my fasting time. It is definitely easier to put the weight on, than it is to get it off. I understand your frustration. I couldn't get the weight to come off, until Intermittent Fasting. Although I know it won't work for everyone.
thanks for sharing. It sure did happen to me. I lost 30 pounds and feel it creeped back up. My problem is not food but I like wine every other night. I don't over do it but it must be causing the weight gain. pulling back on that now but we do have a cruise coming up too......yikes. wish me luck :)
One of my friends did a dry January challenge of no alcohol and lost 10 pounds. She was more like you, having drinks 3-4 nights a week, not everyday. I want to enjoy vacations and not feel restricted. You should do what you can before your cruise, go fully enjoy your cruise week, then come back home and back at it again.
Sandy, thank you for the encouragement. Presently I continue to struggle to lose the weight doing IF and feel very frustrated. Anyway, has this rebounder worked out for you? If so do you have a link for it?
As far as the frustration...I understand! I have been in your shoes. The IF is the one thing that worked for me when I tried everything else and that wouldn't work. I do know that I still have to watch the amount of calories consumed in my 8 hour eating window because even eating healthy food, I can overeat. Maybe IF isn't going to be the answer for you. ?? I have the Cellerciser Rebounder. I got it straight from the Cellerciser website. I had a Leaps & Rebounds rebounder before that. It is a bungee chord rebounder, and I liked it too. I just like the Cellerciser even better, but I also know it is more expensive and am sensitive to everyone having a different budget. So just get the best one you can for your budget. It's such a good exercise.
Sandy can you share the links to some of your videos in those early days .. also what do you do with coffee I love my coffee in the morning with monk fruit and creamer
Hi, Jennifer! So this is my personal experience...until I switched to a clean fast, I was not losing weight while intermittent fasting. So a clean fast is what works for me, which means, plain water, plain black or green tea and black coffee. Here are a few videos that share the reasoning and how I lost weight. * How I Changed 1 Thing and Lost Weight: ruclips.net/video/rHrY8bw4qo8/видео.html *Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss: ruclips.net/video/MfN55oECoaY/видео.html *EXACTLY How to do a CLEAN FAST/Weight Loss: ruclips.net/video/PFVWBilmoSE/видео.html
I was down 20 pounds a year ago and in that year I regained 6 pounds but I also turned 65. I do watch what I eat. Walk at least 3 miles everyday with my husband but I CANNOT seem to lose those regained 6 pounds. Many days I eat only twice a day and try not to eat past 7pm. So frustrating. I'm ready to try IF but at my age, is it SAFE? Thanks for sharing your experiences😊
I think IF is typically safe for almost everyone. It is just eating in a certain time frame. It isn't "not" eating or leaving out certain food groups...but I still eat at least 2 big meals and a snack, or 3 meals a day. You get to make your own hours whether you fast for 12 hours, 14, 16...etc. I dont go past 16 hours of fasting.
Totality will actually be about an hour west of us in Ohio. Then it will head to northern Ohio. I’m not sure since I will be an hour from totality if I will still see the remnants of the eclipse?
@@sandysteinbrook If you can do it, travel the hour west to get into the path of totality. It will be worth it! Also, don't forget your eclipse glasses! A 99% eclipse is not the same as totality. I would go so far to say that totality is a spiritual experience...
Do you use collagen and protein powder every day and I ordered the magnesium that you take how do we know that’s good quality magnesium? I am 70 years young thank you are real that what I love about you and that you love the Lord
Yes, I do love the Lord! I do not use collagen and protein powders daily. I am hit and miss with them. As far as magnesium, I really like the company that I order from and use several of their products...but I always say to do your own research and fid what is best for your body. Thank you for watching, Nancy! I always enjoy hearing from you.
Sandy❤ how did you know!?! this is where i’m at… im so bummed and upset with myself. last Feb 2023 to May i dropped about 25 out of the 50-60 i need to loose on WW. i fell off plan… then in Oct noticed it coming back on. Then Holidays and now a year later 😞 i have to start all over! i wish i wasn’t hungry, or i wish food grossed me out. i can eat all of the time. i want to try the fasting and get back to mindful eating. so your saying don’t eat after 7:00 and then 1st meal around 10:00 am right? Thank you for the encouragement. hugs, Sandi
I am glad it is encouraging to you. You can totally do this! You've lost weight before, so you know how to do it. Yes, I stop eating at 7pm, and then start eating the next morning around 10 or 11am.
Thanks for sharing. You inspire me. And good for you and your husband to have two trips under your belt so early in the year. No pun intended with the “under the belt” comment.
Could be mostly inflammation! We always blame pounds! Also, it’s super important to change it up.. doing the same hours over and over can be detrimental.
Sandy i fasted for a year and only use Oliver oil and avocado oil. I don’t know what I am wrong so I can’t take blood pressure pills and I don’t eat sugar. I avoid that I do have something I put Stevie.😢 got any ideas?
Open your window with protein (maybe a hardboiled egg or some yogurt), wait at least 30 minutes then eat a meal. Don't snack and eat your next meal four hours later. It will jumpstart your weight loss.
I tried intermittent fasting and I didn't lose anything, I was so disappointed:( Maybe I did it wrong?? I'm going to try fasting 7pm til 10am. Thank you for this! I did keto a few years ago and lost 50 lbs and then covid hit and I gained 1/2 of it back and I can't get it off!!
It's worth a try to see if Intermittent Fasting will work for you. When nothing else I was doing was working, IF finally helped me get the weight off. Here are a few videos I did that may help give you some insight in how to start. *Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss: ruclips.net/video/MfN55oECoaY/видео.html *EXACTLY how to do a CLEAN FAST: ruclips.net/video/PFVWBilmoSE/видео.html * What I Eat-Intermittent Fasting for Weight Loss: ruclips.net/video/yfWNc0HC9Vw/видео.html
PERFECT TIMING! I needed to hear this today. Since November I've been off track, indulging (holidays,etc), not walking (blaming it on the weather). I need to get serious and get back on track.
It's an encouragement to me too knowing that many women are right here with me...ready to get back on track. This is something so many of us can do together!

Thank you for honesty. I on the track again too. Your trips looked amazing!!
Pictures are amazing! My mom always said it’s easier to keep it off than take it off.
I agreee with your mom! Getting it off is the hard part
You read my mind
Good luck getting back on track!
Hi Sandy, I think 15 to 18 lbs is Great!!! I do intermittent fasting and can't lose 2lbs🙄
I started as well and I just don't see any loss 😢 I've gotten pretty frustrated.
