Hi guys I'm a newbie from Alberta, Canada. Nice forum - been a lurker for a long time. Always struggled with weight since my teens but even more so after the kiddo was born 11 years ago. I am used to deprivation and weird eating regimes since I've done that most of my life. Been gaining weight since my marriage fell apart and I started a new relationship a couple years back. I'm interested in alternate day fasting - it worked well for a week but then my mom vistited and she gets super insulted if people dont eat, she's an odd duck that way. So back on the bandwagon now that she's left. I think reading peoples posts about struggless and sucesses will help motivate me, because we all know its not easy.

Welcome alligatorpie! Look around and you'll find other folks doing various IF plans including alternate days fasting.
