28F 5’3” SW: 150.8 CW: 144.2 GW: 125-130

Finished up a month of ADF and back to being below 145! It’s been years since I’ve been back down this low, I’m also taking body measurements and I’m down a few inches all over so I’m super happy about this. I have been doing sporadic workouts, but due to a eczema flare up that had my entire face swollen and itchy I decided against going to the gym and doing intense workouts in case it further inflamed my skin. Frustrating, but I’m glad that I still had ADF to stick to so the weight loss can continue.

My face does feel much better now so I’m hoping to jump back into strength training soon! Maybe doing a split where I break fast at 12pm, go to the gym immediately after, so that I don’t lift while fully fasted. It also helps to build in a natural 3/4 days of strength training in the gym.

I was initially a bit upset by how “slow” the weight loss has been, but I’m actually glad that I’m not suddenly losing 15lbs this month. My weight loss was much more rapid back three years ago when I did adf from what I remember, but I was also way more strict and I think I was t eating enough or well on my feasting days either. I also wasn’t working out at all. This time around on my eating days I am actively eating cleaner, eating more, prioritizing protein/fiber, and trying to remain active to build muscle.

Also want to go back to incorporating light walking on my fasting days. The activity hasnt been the best but hoping to ramp that up soon!

I wrote this comment/essay years ago but was just reminded about it so wanted to share! I started reading this fic while on my way home I believe at the airport, but within the first chapter I knew that this fic and author were something special and I had to get my feelings out somehow. I’ve done line specific commentary before, but I had to physically hold myself back from actually writing on every line bc holy FUCK the way this fic was speaking to me it was like everything I never knew I wanted was appearing in front of my eyes.

I was just going to leave them as comments but I hit the comment limit after like 1 page, so I just linked them the google doc in the comments with the first part of my doc so they knew it wasn’t a phishing attempt 😅😅 I thought the author would think I was psychotic for this ngl haha but they were so so sweet and was blown away/super grateful, so I’m really glad that it was taken well :’)

I haven’t had the energy to leave a comment like that again since, but I just wanted to share what was definitely the most lengthy comment I’ve ever left, but also my favorite. Wish I had the time to do this for all of my favorite fics and authors, yall deserve the world!! Keep going at it ❤️❤️

Lost 6.6 lbs in a month! Month so far back on ADF.

Anyone else ever write a 26 page google doc of line by line annotations on a fic because it was just that good?
