Episode 156 Mandy Ponte A busy School teacher, wife and mom to three kids shares her amazing intermittent fasting story. Losing 50 pounds plus 25 KG in 7 months.

1 hour 1 minute

I am a 42-year-old mom of three amazing kids ages 15, 13, and 10. I am a wife of 19 years to my best friend Steven. We are both teachers who have been in the classroom for almost 20 years. We enjoy life in a tiny house on 3 acres—a little slice of “country” in crowded Northern California. We grow our own fruits and veggies and currently have about a dozen chickens.

I was first introduced to IF in 2015 by a co-worker who told me she only ate between the hours of 12 and 6. At the time, I thought she was completely insane, but looking back on it, I realize how healthy and vibrant she looked and must have felt. Fast forward to May 2022 when I stepped on the scale and saw almost 180 lbs., a weight higher than I’d been at nine months pregnant with any of my children. On a whim I googled Intermittent fasting and decided to just jump in (what did I have to lose??) I began with a 20 hour fast and haven’t missed a day of fasting since. I’m currently down 50+ pounds on my IF journey.
