The Fasting Highway Graeme Currie

Bio By Sharon Mbabazi

I am 37 years old and live in West Michigan, USA, with my wonderful husband and three beautiful children. They keep us very busy, and we are always on the go. I also work full-time as a data team leader for a company that
provides strategic supply chain solutions to hospitals, banks, and other businesses in the surrounding areas.

 

I started my intermittent fasting journey at the end of June 2023 to lose 30 lbs/13.6 kgs. I had been steadily gaining weight since having our 3rd child in 2018 and was ready to take some steps to reverse the upward trend. I had tried counting calories and various exercise routines, and even though I would lose a little weight, it wasn't sustainable. I would always end up gaining back more than what I started with. I discovered IF when our wedding photographer, Tonya Kortekaas (featured in episode 161), shared her incredible story through social media. I contacted Tonya, who gave me excellent guidance on getting started. She recommended great resources, including The Fasting Highway book, podcast,
and Facebook group. Yes, I had to put in the effort and hard work to start my journey, but her advice and those resources have genuinely played a key role in my success. 

 I gradually worked my way from a 16:8 window to 19:5 over about one month and have been steadily losing weight for the last year. I made some mistakes in the beginning (I was not clean fasting for the first week or so)
but quickly learned and made adjustments along the way. I am currently down 39 lbs/17.7 kg and will soon be carefully transitioning into maintenance.

 I am so thankful for everyone who shared their story so I could navigate my IF journey. I share my story, hoping it will do the same and inspire someone else.

Kelly Frances Bio

I am 63 years of age and live in Southern California, USA.  I have been fasting since March 2023 and have lost 53 lbs. My starting weight was 213 (I’m six feet tall), and my goal weight was 160, which I obtained and have maintained since October 2023.  I learned about The
Fasting Highway book and this fantastic lifestyle from my longtime friend and co-worker Holly Rogers, a TFH online group member.  We went to dinner one evening when she was visiting, and I shared how frustrated I was with the weight I had gained during my husband’s cancer illness in 2021 and his subsequent passing in December of
2022.  I used food as a comfort and coping mechanism for the stress of being his caregiver and, eventually, his widow.  It’s so easy to get into unhealthy habits when you’re dealing with such a traumatic event.  You can even justify it by calling it “comfort food”, but I was anything but comfortable in my own body.  Holly told me about the book and the online group, and I quickly ordered my copy of TFH on Amazon.  I loved the book; online support is paramount to my success. My protocol was always TMAD and 16:8, but there were times when I would hit a plateau when I would extend my fasts for longer to get the pounds
budging again. Once I reached my goal weight and I was in maintenance mode, I had to adjust my eating and fasting windows to find my “sweet spot”. If I have overindulged during weekends or vacations, I have the tools to keep any weight gain in check. Flexibility is key!  I like to stay between 158-165 lbs. and not go over that.  I feel that I’m at my healthiest at 160 lbs. My “why” is my son Van.  He was 20 years old when his father died, and I needed to be healthy for him and, of course, for myself.  We need each other more than ever!

BIO: By Anita Downes


I am 52 years old from Perth Western Australia. I have been doing IF since Nov 2021. I lost over 80 pounds in the first year. My why is my family, and curious to see what adventures we can get up to now that
my body is able to join in all the fun. I bike ride with the kids; I walk the dog, and I lift small weights on the vibration plate.  I work part-time as a Support worker for young adults who have Autism and are non-binary or transgender. I'm still a stay-at-home parent for our kids, aged 5 and 12; I work during their school hours and some weekends when possible. The update is that since we last spoke nearly two years ago, in Sept 2022, I haven't changed in weight. I have hovered around the 77-80 kg mark and have tweaked and attempted ADF and all the other stuff. Facing the fact that I'm in maintenance
7-10 kg higher than I had hoped to be. My old goal was to weigh 70kg; honestly, I would still love to get my weight down to 75kg. But it may not be possible at the ripe age of 52. (166cm tall) I may have just let it go and let the BMI and the world of averages it is made out of let that go, too. 

 NSVS

My doctor is pleased. I “m happier. I was in a bad mood constantly while I was obese. My kids aren't scared of me anymore. I can go on waterslides at amusement parks, roller skate, and keep up with these kids! I'm better at maintaining healthy boundaries with people, at work and in life, and I attribute that skill to eating within a specific time. I've shared about fasting with many friends and family and have seen so many of those take it up and live the fasting lifestyle to the extent they think they don't fast anymore - but they don't eat till almost midday. Many people thank me for sharing such a sustainable health option.

Alison Pizanie is an elementary school teacher living in Medford, New Jersey. She is 51 years old, married to her wife Kim, and has two sons, Reid and Brady. Alison has struggled her entire life with obesity and emotional
eating. Food and eating always felt like an obsession. Diets never worked for her, in terms of any real weight loss, but she did diet her way up to 245 pounds (111 kg). At this weight and shorter stature, she felt miserable, sick,
and tired. In 2016, out of desperation, she had weight loss surgery, the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. She did lose 90 pounds (40 kgs)… but weight loss surgery works until it doesn’t. By 2019, she was gaining her weight back rapidly despite following all of the post-surgical guidelines set by her doctors and nutritionist. Alison panicked and was confused about how to solve her regain issue. She gained about 20 pounds (9 kgs) before she found Delay,
Don’t Deny by Gin Stephens in early 2020. It took some time and tweaking, but Alison has lost all regain plus more, equaling about 25 pounds (11 kgs) lost with intermittent fasting! She is at a total weight loss of 101 pounds (46 kgs)
and now weighs 144 pounds (65 kgs). She would now recommend intermittent fasting instead of weight loss surgery and plans on living an intermittent fasting lifestyle forever! Alison recently self-published a book sharing her journey and teaching others with bariatric surgery how to succeed with intermittent fasting after weight loss surgery. The book The Regain Remedy: Using Intermittent Fasting to Achieve Permanent Weight Loss After Bariatric
Surgery is available on Amazon.

Jalene Weigand has been an intermittent faster since she
stumbled upon a Woman’s Health Podcast featuring Laurie Lewis in November 2021. 

She successfully lost all the weight she had gained during
her menopausal transition within about a year . She has continued to see many non-scale victories since she
reached the maintenance range with her health, fitness, and emotional wellness.

Being in maintenance has had some challenges for Jalene, as she’s needed to navigate what it means to live her IF lifestyle without having weight loss as her main focus, pivoting towards helping others on their journey, yet maintaining a balance of vigilance without obsession to maintain her weight range.
