in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone. My name is Amanda. I'm 5'4", 41 Years old and Mum to 3 great kids. When I succeed in my weight loss goals, I will not have been that weight since my early teens! I have been walking for a minimum of 20km a week for 6 weeks, and haven't lost anything -so it's time to address my diet! I want to combine calorie deficit with a 16:8 fasting plan. Having recently got a Mirena to address low iron issues, I do find the increase in appetite quite problematic. It's the most recent attempt to make lasting changes, so here goes!

    Wow I'm 41 also and got Mirena for very heavy frequent cycles on May 11. I'm a mother of 2. By July 19, I was about 10 lbs heavier. Still have the Mirena and hasn't helped me by the way! I spoke to my doctor who said she didn't think weight gain was coming from Mirena. So I found this app and lost 15 lbs! Stick to it, and you will be successful. Good luck on your journey!!!
