    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.

    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!!! ... As we get older it's harder to lose our belly fat! Yay me!!!

    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 ❤️
