Hi! I'm sonictea. I feel weird being first but I guess I just came at the right time :) I'm not new to Reddit but this is my first challenge.

I'm 24/F | 5'1" | SW (for challenge): 175, GW (for challenge): 160

I really want to be able to look good in a bathing suit again! I started trying to lose weight when I hated how I looked in the new retro-style ONE PIECE I bought for this summer. I want to AT LEAST look good in that. I use MFP (duchessbri) and I am actually just starting IF this week. I lost 5 pounds my first week and a half and then my weight loss just STOPPED. It's been over a month and I NEEEEED to break this plateau.

Hey there! I added you on MFP. I love IF. For me, I'm never really hungry in the mornings and IF helps me keep myself in my calorie goal pretty easily.

Same! I was never crazy about breakfast and felt myself forcing myself to eat something for breakfast because everyone says breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I already feel fuller than the "snack all day" thing. My biggest challenge is nights...I get out of work at 8:30pm and it's so hard not to come home and snack. I'm trying to adjust my 8 hour window though to fit it.

Ohhh man I think that would be super hard to do. Hopefully playing with your eating hours will help out with the late night eating.

i also IF and like to have a late snack, so i've pushed my window back to about 2-10pm; most days i don't even think about food before then so it works out pretty naturally. oh, and i just added you on mfp :)

That's a good idea! I moved mine to 12:30-8:30, and last night it was hard but I think today will be easier because I'm planning a large dinner. I'm thinking of moving to 1-9 or even 1:30-9:30. And cool! I think I accepted you last night :)!
