Hi, everyone!
I've actually been a lurker in this group for over four years. I have been secretly inspired by a lot of your stories and experiences. As a brief introduction to me: my name is Marcy, and I have actually been doing IF (and occasionally OMAD) for over ten years. I have ulcerative colitis, and IF helped me eliminate medications from my life. I'm very happy about that!
I am 4'10" and my usual healthy weight is between 105 and 110 pounds. I had a series of miscarriages over the last few years, which really sent me into a bit of a depression. I have gained 20 pounds due to my lack of drive for exercising or eating well like I am accustomed to. But I realize as I end another year of this situation that I must begin taking care of myself physically and mentally for my own sake.
I am starting this thread for personal accountability. I already lead a pseudo-healthy lifestyle (I do not eat takeaway meals much at all out of habit from being raised in a cooking-heavy Asian family), but I want to improve my exercise, water consumption, and balanced eating in general to return back down to my pre-depression weight and take back control of my wellness. I am pre-hypertensive and would like to help control that by getting this extra weight off my very small frame.
Starting Weight: 131.2 pounds (as of yesterday)
Goal Weight: 110 pounds (with stretch goal being 105)
I will try to take pictures of meals, but at the very least I aim to update frequently to at least note if I stuck to OMAD, did a bit of exercise (even if only 15 minutes of walking), and drank all of my water for the day.

Hi,
Welcome!
You don't have far to go. Oolong tea will help with UC.1
