Intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting has not only helped me lose weight, it has also helped my skin glow 😊

I did not realize I was this big until my husband posted this picture 😔 this is from last year. And I wore a sweater to hide my lonjas (rolls) 😂

Fantastic!! Curious which IF schedule(s) you have done? I'm a huuuge fan of IF, having great success so far (as is my husband, and my sister) Between us, I do 4:3, he's doing a daily 16:8, and my sister is doing OMAD.

Lala_Smiley

@MerryFit519 thank you! I've been doing 16:8 since February 2020

@MerryFit519 these are my one year results on 16:8

Very inspirational, you look great! (and younger! do you think so too?)

Also..I'm really disappointed to see members "disagreeing" with your success...very confused as I thought MFP's members normally cheer one another on, as well as cheer at success. How can you disagree with a success picture?? I can only assume it is because you followed an IF schedule? (everyone should decide what works for them best and, you were only sharing what you did, not telling others they should do it too. SMH.) IF is simply a specified time to eat, not what to eat or any crazy deficit. Same calories in/out..just consumed differently. Most of all...you have been successful using it! I wish I could post a like for every disagree..you deserve it!

@MerryFit519 Thank you! It's ok! I'm so excited to share my progress! I'm a mother of 4, grandmother of 5. I am 48 years old, I look and feel better than I did when I was in my 20s!!! I honestly don't care who disagrees with me. As we get older it's harder to lose our belly fat! Yay me!!!

You are very welcome .... I loved IF but I had to quit since I am hypoglycemic

Yay you indeed! You look great! (And I quite agree on the growing challenge to lost belly fat as you get older. )

I love IF! I lost 50 pounds so far and maintained that for six months. And just rest got into tackling the last ten. I used a 20:4 schedule most of the time but mixed it up with 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, and a few 3-5 day fasts. My husband and mother have recently started.

Good job on your weight loss and I wish you the best in the future!

Thanks for sharing I’ll start with the 16/8👍

After reading Megan’s post of IF and hypoglycemia I’m researching IF and diabetes

Anyone a diabetic? How long was your fast?

Thanks for sharing ❤️

I am type 2 diabetic ... low carb/keto works to reverse type 2 ... I am not on keto at the moment has I have been sick over 2 weeks but I will eventually get back to it ....Wishing you the very best

@200Karen - there's a website called Diet Doctor www.dietdoctor.com, that promotes low-carb and keto. But they have a hella-lot-of information (and I think free video courses, if I remember correctly??) on fasting. I was a member several years ago, it's a paid membership. But they do have a free week's trial, which means you can go into the site and watch the videos, and read all the information on diabetes and fasting.

[Edit: 30-day free trial]

200Karen

Thanks for the carb/keto and Diet Doctor website recommendations

Megan hope you feel better real soon

Misslindeena thanks again

Fantastic job - you look great!
I'm a fan of IF too I've been playing around with 16/8 and 20/4 with weekends off and am 39lbs down.
There are a lot of people here that think their way is the only way 🙄
Ignore the haters

Thanks for the shout-out
I have tried to lose 30+ pounds for 9+ years and now I'm in maintenance
Always counting calories and exercising so MFP is a great place to find friendships and information

My IF times are holding at 12 - 14 hours
Staying there until I talk with my doctor
My morning sugars seem to be OK

Look at this standing plank stick routine
It seems to be a perfect fit for days when we don't want to get to the floor
I'm already seeing definition in my stomach

Hi Karen Oppaloopa ❤️
Thanks for the ~~Hello~~
You brighten my day

Next week I’ll be gone for a week long vacation. Today I’m cooking and packing. We’re headed to the forest with friends.
I’m planning on my 12-14 hour IF

Enjoy your new IF week 💞
