6 months ago I set out on my journey to take my life back. Diets are awful because they don't last. Intermittent fasting and excersise is something that's so easy for me to maintain. I'm not longer obese! tphlq71y9zdw.jpg

    Great job! I actually accepted that intermittent fasting is what I will have to do and it really isn’t too hard for me either.

    Fantastic results, were you a weight lifter in the past? What were yr macros and start and finish weight?

    That’s a great achievement

    I have lifted on and off for years. I did not start training hard until 40lbs were lost.

    No macro counting. I weighed my foods and tracked calories. I love IF

    Curious. What were your numbers?

    Height, starting weight, current weight, calories per eating window etc.

    Amazing results, your dedication paid off,

    I'm 6'1 with a starting weight of 232. I now weigh 187.

    I did IF (20/4) or OMAD depending on the day. I found OMAD to be easy as long as I was not in the gym. Once I started lifting, OMAD was very difficult.

    I kept my calories around 1800. I am now working on maintenance calories using scale feed back. I try to eat around 2400 calories.
