This is my first post. I have been intermittent fasting and training since December 21, 2013. I weighed 302 lbs. I had no idea I was so large. The weight slowly came on and I made excuses. “This ain’t fat, it’s stored energy.” “More of me to love.” Well no more.
December 21, 2013 was the beginning. I didn’t even want to wait until Christmas or New Years to start. I made an announcement on Facebook to hold me accountable. I posted pictures, videos and started a journal on FB. I joined BodyBuilding.com and picked a workout plan and got started.
My Intermittent fasting journey began with LeanGains and a few ebooks and audios before I read Eat Stop Eat and The Fast Diet. All in all I am currently down 82 pounds in 8 months. I wanted to get to 225. But when that became attainable, I know I could do better. As of today, I am 219 lbs.
My “Style” of IF is more of a hybrid. I do 16-19 hours per day for 5 days and 2 days of 24 hour fasting. I won’t say which IF is best. It’s a personal choice for me. So I am only saying what worked for ME.
I have attached a link to my before and after photos. These were taken after the 6 month mark. Since then, I have put on more muscle.
