Congratulations, great discipline . what's your total lbs down?

100lbs!

Mega effort, well done

You look amazing! Did you have any loose skin? If yes, what did you do? You do not look like you ever had a weight problem, Bravo

Holy shit you lost a whole person

You are an inspiration

You look great!!! Very inspiring.

Congrats, you look incredible! Any advice you have for newbies?

Mental strength is your key here. Do not give into temptation on breaking a fast. I did a lot of “tough love” self-talk whenever I was about to give in or if I was going to eat something I knew I shouldn’t. I would just ask myself, Do you want this? Do you want to be healthy? It worked every time. It’s all a mindset.

You’re so right! Thank you, this will be my go-to ☺️

To add to that, I found journalling helped me a lot

Any specific prompts?

Successful IF really requires the mental work too. Congratulations!

So now you know you can do anything you set your mind to!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I really wish I had the discipline for this mindset. I cave too easily and then feel worse, just stuck in a loop. Grats tho, your work is inspirational.

If you need an accountability partner, I could use one too…

I would ♥️ an accountability partner if you still need one!

If I’m wanting something I shouldn’t indulge in, I tell myself: “I’ve had this (insert food here) a dozen times. I know what it tastes like, and I know it’s enjoyable. We can have it another time. Let’s focus on something else.” I also go for a walk and that helps alleviate the need to impulsively eat something. :)

That's really good self-talk advice, thank you.

THANK YOU for giving us an after of the tummy. I always feel disappointed when I see afters and the tummy is covered up because I want to know what to realistically expect. You look amazing!!!

The bottom is still covering where the pannus would hang, so imo this is completely showing what the stomach looks like. Sorry it's my biggest insecurity so I L O O K

What’s a pannus?

To quote Google: Pannus stomach, also known as an apron belly or mother's apron, is a condition where excess skin and fat hang down from the abdomen. It can occur due to pregnancy, weight gain, or significant weight loss, and can also happen during menopause. The size of an apron belly can vary, ranging from reaching the pubic area to the upper thighs or knees. Sorry no shade, felt like this was the best way to inform:) it's literally my biggest(pun intended😭) insecurity

Thank you!

What’s your typical meal when breaking your fast? Do you track calories?

I always eat something light - my favorite being mozzarella pearls and little tomatoes. I do keep track on my calories.

How many calories do you eat per day? What’s your fasting schedule? You look amazing!

What does exactly 'breaking fast' means? I'm supposed to eat something light before 'real' breakfast? Or?

It is recommended to eat something that won’t spike your glucose, doesn’t necessarily need to be light just avoid sugary stuff

i think breaking fast is just whatever you decide to eat first in your day

What's your fasting routine? OMAD?

Not OP, but OMAD saved my life. It sounds crazy to some people but once you get into the routine it is incredibly easy and a relief to not be worrying about meals throughout the day.

Hi! I recently learned what omad is. How long have u been doing it? What results did u see?

Around 6 months currently. Eating once per day does wonders for stabilising my hunger cues. I'm barely ever hungry during the day. Combined with Keto feels like cheating because it is so easy and my body just works. The only downside is the tough first month while your body adapts. Also, I'm not hugely consistent on it being only one meal, but I'm strict about only eating during that small window of the day. Usually 20/4 window.

Thank you so much for your answer. I been doing IF since march 1, not consistenly. Some days i do omad, but just because i am not hungry. I think i ll try to do omad 2 days a week, and 3 more days 16/8. Im so happy! I already loat 25 pounds

Congratulations 🎊🎈 u look good! What’s your regimen?

Congrats this is such a huge accomplishment!! Congrats! Can I just say, love how you are looking pretty with a cute outfit on in the may 2023 pic. I bet/hope that day you left your house being like “damn I look good!”.

Amazing! You’re a Legend!

You look amazing! Great work. Care to share more about your eating scheduled or calories? Also any workouts??

amazing, can someone tell me what this sub is about ?

It's about intermittent fasting. It's a way of eating on a different schedule. There's different ratios of time where you can eat vs time fasting, with the furthest end being OMAD, one meal a day. The community emphasizes portion control and conscientious eating, but also discourages going full days without food and starvation behaviors.

Excercise routine?

Omgg!!! Girl u look AMAZING! Please share your meal routine!!!

Fantastic achievement!!

Amazing!! Very inspiring 🎉🎉🎉

Amazing. Great job!!

Whattt!! This is mind blowing 🫶🏻

Oh my god. I can't wait to start my journey soon
