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.
