@Andly Love this on your status "Being fat is hard. Losing is hard. Maintaining is hard. Choose your hard." Great thing about IF is that maintaining doesn't have to be hard anymore! Before I started IF, I would have said that maintaining was harder for me than losing was because the motivation isn't the same... now it is so much easier!

Ok...I am officially a BIG, no HUGE IF fan. I have been on my weight loss journey for a little more than 6 months and have lost 65 lbs. so far. ( Lot's more to go...)

One of the big things that triggered my motivation was that I was so sick and I am a Diabetic. The Dr. wanted to put me on an insulin pump it was so bad!

Well, since I have been losing weight, eating healthy and exercising my sugar has come way down but still high.I only needed oral meds.

Since I started adding IF a week ago. for the first time in my life, EVER. My sugar is NORMAL!!! I don't need any meds. It's amazing the Dr.'s advice was really the opposite of what has worked!

So, I must give full credit to this board for having the IF information!

I really do think that this support forum helps save peoples lives. Especially when I personally experience things like this.

I feel so much gratitude for everyone sharing so that we can all help eachother.
