I live in the beautiful suburb of Menora, Perth, Western AustraliaAustralia, I'm 50 years old, and married to the incredible Terry, who’s a fellow faster these days. I'm a mother to a 23-year-old and 21-year-old twin, all gorgeous young men. Fur Mum to two Aussie Shepherds, Savannah & Angelica. I own and run my own business selling energy cleansing &lifting products, and I was a hairdresser in my past life. I've had weight issues my whole life, at 17 I was diagnosed with PSOS, now at the other end in peri/menopause and on HRT.
I went through 18 cycles of IVF to have my beautiful boys. Atmy highest weight (after IVF and the baby's) | was 130kg (290lbs) and at my lowest 55kg (121lbs).
IF Starting Date: 3rd October 2022
SW: 91.6kg (201lbs)
CW: 64kg (141lbs)
First Time Lost: 27kg (60lbs)
Second Time Loss: 14kg (30lbs)
Height: 160cm (5’3”)
I lost 27kg (60lbs) from 3rd October 2022 till September 2023, doing clean IF, then slowly with mostly 4 4-hour daily windows and some slack food choices like casual drinking wine, as well as a couple of big life moments full of stress Iregained 14kg (30lbs) of my weight by 26 August 2024, when my weight was 78kg (171lbs).
Strict OMAD (1 hour mostly a day), alcohol free, and cardio exercise 5 times a week till mid March 2025, got my weight back to 70kg (154lbs). I felt the weight lost the second time around was a lot harder and ahell of a lot slower.
My weight loss got stuck around 70kg (154lbs) for over 7 weeks, so I reluctantly started ADF for the first time on 24th March 2025., Wednesday, Friday, with OMAD Sundays, I lost 6kg (13lbs) in 4 weeks.
I never thought I could or wanted to do ADF, but I like it now. I’ve always cleaned fasted and don’t do the 500-calorie down day option.
So here I am, 2 years and six ish months into my IF lifestyle, back to 64kg (141lbs) in my second round of maintenance, alcohol free, working on muscle tone as well as cardio, and myself physically, emotionally and spiritually daily 💫
