Quick intro :)

33, female, 4’6” (yes, you read that correctly 😉). SW:100lbs CW:98lbs GW: to be leaner and healthier I stumbled upon IF last week and have been hooked on the idea since. I’m mostly trying IF for the health benefits but I’d love to finally shed this layer of fat I’ve been holding onto for ages. I started my first 16:8 fast on Jan 1st. Despite a big sugar slip up that same evening, I’ve maintained a healthy balance of food since. I fast normally from 6pm-12/1pm. (So more like 18:6 lol) Trying to limit my carbs but I’m not going crazy with it. If anything I’m tracking my calories and making sure I stay under 1,200. I’ve come to realize that my belly doesn’t hurt in the mornings like it used to being full of food which is a godsend. Even though my toughest time is around the 15th hour, I always seem to make it over that hump and am able to workout at the 17th/18th hour. Overall, it’s been pretty easy to maintain my fasting. Not sure if this has happened for anyone else? Since I started IF, I look forward to eating and actually take the time to plan a healthy meal instead of grabbing whatever is in front of me when I’m hungry. This place has been a wonderful resource and I love seeing all the positivity. 🤗
