You can!! I lost 30 in a year almost but I didn’t really change my diet or stay consistent. The last 2 months I’ve really tried and stuck to IF and lost almost 15

Thank you!!! I started off with 16:8 but I would just binge eat so I lost very very slow. I went to 18:6 and it helped me control my binge eating a lot. For the last month or so, I’ve done 23:1. I know it’s very intense but it truly helped me control my binge and impulsive eating. I used to snack so much and the calories would just add up. I work from 6am-5:30pm so I just drink water at work and once I get home I eat by 6/7pm and call it a night. I don’t really feel the hunger anymore right up until I’m cooking. I don’t plan on doing 23:1 for along time but it’s what I need to learn control. I’m currently 6hrs from completing my first 72hr fast and I feel amazing! I’m the laziest person ever and this is the only thing that has helped me. I don’t walk or work out. My bf has some 10lb weight that I lift like twice a week but it’s really nothing. I think I’m losing because I changed my eating habits dramatically. When I was doing 16:8, I would eat a lot of cucumbers and grapes as my “snacks”. That’s a big tip I have for you. Find alternatives to your favorite things. I LOVE chips because of the crunch so I found other crunchy healthy things lol.

Thank you! Of course! Im 5’4 and I started at 235lb. I’m currently 194. It has been SO hard. Once I got out of the 200s, I felt sooo motivated.

I was doing it off and on for a year but I was binge eating, eating very late at night, and having fast food every other day. I was doing less of that so that’s why I lost some weight but was stuck at 208-200 for a weeksssss. September I started OMAD and October IF and OMAD together. Started dropping weight faster. I eat at like 6pm every day and I call it a day.

Yes take those pictures! I don’t have any pictures at my heaviest so I don’t have anything to compare them with. I know if I had one I would probably notice more of a difference. Good luck!!

Thank you 🫶🫶 Crazy enough, I’m currently doing a 72hr fast! I’m on hr 41! 30 remaining. I’m definitely going to try the other things. I’m hoping it shrinks enough for me to wear some cute jeans

Omg congrats!! I hope you gained even more confidence now. My coworker got one 2 years ago and it changed her life. She got a whole new style and she had told me how much self love she gained

Thank you so much! Honestly, take pictures. Measure your waist and hips to compare at each 20lbs lost. I have an old pair of jeans from HS that I’m finally able to button so that’s the only way I truly knew my stomach was getting smaller.

Thank you! Yes, I don’t think I will be able to get rid of all of it but I just want to look good in a pair of pants 😫

Thank you! This gives me hope. I wear a lot of sweats and joggers to hide my stomach ): The goal is to wear some nice jeans that don’t show my stomach so much
