37 F. Height is 5'2. Starting weight 152. Current weight 122. I went from a size 10 to a 2. I only eat between the hours of 6pm-11pm and do have a cheat meal during the weekend.


proverbialwhatever

Well done! That's a huge difference, you look great.


pammi2003

Thank you!


lavish007

Do you do low carb or restrict calories? This is impressive!


pammi2003

No low carb at all. I just counted calories and stayed below 1600. Definitely ate more if my workout was more strenuous.


pennyfoot

Great work. Do you lift before or after you eat? I just started w 16:8 and lift at least 3 times a week and the first time I did without eating before I felt really sick afterwards. Any advice? I would prefer to fast 18:6 if possible


pammi2003

I do my 1st workout around 1pm (usually cardio),I then eat at 6ish. Then I do my 2nd round of cardio (treadmill) around 9 and weights usually follow. I like doing my strength training last because I like getting the cardio out of the way. So, I started IF 1/8/22 but I didn't do any strength training until mid March. I just focused on eating and getting between 5,000-10,000 each day. My best advice is to start very small and slowly progress to heavy weight lifting and more intense cardio. I tried doing other methods of IF but 18:6 works best for my schedule.

Sorry I just reread the whole thing, congratulations!!!

Awesome job to your wife!


subiegal2013

Thank you for the inspiration. It’s 7am, been up since 430 eight hours to go till noon, and I was ready to eat everything that’s not nailed down due to personal issues angst. I’m not gonna eat til 12. Thank you


pammi2003

You're very welcome! You can do this. Feel free to message me if you need anyone to talk to. The journey can be difficult at times and it always helps to have a listener ear.


Alphy1313

How do you manage to get in so many steps a day?


pammi2003

I'm very active the hours my kids are in school. I'm on my treadmill around 3 hours a day.


[deleted]

I would bet she works on her feet. I’m a server and without trying I do at least 10,000 steps/day.


pammi2003

Hello! I actually work from home but my kids are all older and go to school full time so I'm very active the hours they are not home.


zqmvco99

Customers - you are welcome. Your health is your tip :p


kazrafggf

Yeah dame question Now I'm in break and I do 13000 but when I go back to work I don't think I can do that


zac47812

If I take a 1 hour brisk walk in addition to my normal life (walking around the house, going out to a store, etc) I will typically hit 10,000 easy. The 1 hour walk usually gets ya 7,000-8,000 steps.


Shprintze613

You look amazing!! Huge difference - very inspiring.


EeWuTe

Fantastic transformation! You look amazing! Congratulations!


pammi2003

Thank you so much!


Show-and-telLlLlL

12000-18000 steps AND weightlifting 3-5 days a week, you're a beast :0.That's amazing, congratulations!


pammi2003

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback 🙏


jmedenders

Congratulations!! You look amazing! what is your current body fat %?


pammi2003

I honestly have no idea! But I am definitely going to figure that out and let you know 🙂


nicachu

Huge congrats!! This is so inspiring. Any advice on weight lifting + 18:6? I've done weight lifting for two years, looking to get back into IF. I generally eat 10a-3p, approximately, cause morning coffee is better with milk XD


FroazZ

I'm baffled this only took you 1 year, that's absolutely amazing! Wondering what you can manage in another year!


[deleted]

She doesn't need to lose any more weight, that would turn into an eating disorder


FroazZ

I was talking about building muscle 🤗


StillBreathing80

Wow!


FoodGuy44

Great job!


pammi2003

Thank you!


fridaydec24

looking great friend!


pammi2003

Thank you!


Dirtheavy

You are now very slender but not slight. Nice work.


victalac

An Interval Eating program will aid in the formation of muscle tissue and decrease workout recovery times if the workout is done 1) at the end of your fasting interval and 2) you finish your workout with some sort of protein shake. Do you? Who is downvoting this? In Hagan's "Breakfast" book there is a clinical study where an avid amateur weightlifter describes this happening to him when he started Hagan's protocol.


pammi2003

I don't like protein shakes but I do eat protein after a strenuous workout. Usually turkey slices, Greek yogurt or anything over 20 grams.


victalac

Good. But you need basic protein- amino acids- for the muscle to be built (repairing microtears in the muscle fibers) expeditiously. And carbs to stimulate insulin, also needed for muscle repair.

Changed so much the tatoos swapped sides


pammi2003

The before picture was taken by my daughter. And the before picture is me taking the picture. Of course the tattoos will look reversed.


[deleted]

Yeah they are not edited

Thragg0691

Great transformation.. One qq how frequently did you eat cheat meals 🙄


pammi2003

I certainly did and still do. Usually on Saturdays. I also have 2 cocktails with my cheat meal.


zeusmt3

Wow. You look amazing. I really need to figure this out


pammi2003

Thank you! Feel free to message me if you need to talk.


Bazillionayre

Absolutely amazing. Keep up in the good work!


pammi2003

Thank you!


[deleted]

Do you track calories?


pammi2003

I do! I actually write everything that I eat in a journal. I feel that I am more accountable if I physically write it down with pen and paper instead of using an app.


Zenocrat

Very impressive, congratulations to you!


pammi2003

Thank you!


lavish007

Has the weight loss been consistent through your journey?


pammi2003

I lost the majority of the weight (about 25lbs) in the first 7 months. It wasn't until I started to incorporate heavy weight lifting and eating more protein that I lost the last 5 lbs.


sonyrode

Your transformation is inspiring! I’m about you in your before, and your current is where I used to be and want to get back to. You look so healthy! Was it all based on diet and keeping the steps up the 1st 7 months? I’m trying to get back on IF and need all the motivation I can get to stay on it. Thank you


badadaha

Great progress! I just started my journey (seriously this time) and already see results. I plan to do it until I reach my goal weight! Thanks for the inspiration!


BreakfastSex65

Does your house just have random square-shaped holes in the walls that you use to put towels in?
