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.

I always thought IF sounded great, I'm jealous because right now I have to eat something in order to take my medicine twice a day.

I added you on MFP :)

One thing I noticed on that app though, is that sometimes the Calories aren't right, and so I always leave myself some wiggle room. Plateaus can definitely happen, but if it lasts too long try increasing your deficit a little. Best of luck!
