Goals for May
Reach 180 lbs (lose 8.6 lbs) Daily Calories: 1200-1500 Daily Net Carbs: 30 or less No gluten 1/2 - 1 hour exercise per day IF 14:10
After getting my blood test results I've decided to go back to Atkins for a more steady approach to diet and eating. My weight popped up a little after leaving the Alternate Day Diet plan, but no biggie. I may return to some kind of modified version of Alternate Day but I definitely need to lower carbs on the higher calorie day. I wasn't doing a good job of it and my tendency to type II diabetes (a genetic one; even the thin family members develop it) means I really need to make a forever habit of low-carb living. This is not a strain because I feel very good while eating this way and it's not hard for me to stick to. One thing I noticed while on the Alternate Day program was that on the very low calorie day I wasn't getting anything done and this hadn't changed over the three weeks I was on it. It may be better for people who haven't the level of insulin resistance that I do.
Looking forward to a great month and wishing the same for all my FS buddies. It's wonderful to have such great company on the journey - we keep each other's spirits up.

Thank you everyone for the support. @HCB - making goals has always been a risky business for me as I have an inner rebel that wants to make sure THAT doesn't happen just about as soon as I make them. Gonna break that pattern but shhh let's not call that a "goal," shall we? @Fivetwocowboy - I'm watching your progress and the 5:2 seems to be agreeing well with you. Go go go! @Carmen - watching you too! Keep at it, you'll find your magic formula. I envy how fit you are going to be! I have to go at that more slowly due to arthritis that I don't want to aggravate.
