I’m Margrèt I’m 30 years old I’m from Iceland but live in Ireland with my Irish partner and 3

small kids! I work as a makeup artist. Ive always struggled with my weight since I was about 12-13 years old…I’ve always been starting or coming off a diet! I’ve done it all! I’ve counted calories..I’ve done the replacement shakes.. I used a food delivery service… I did keto for a while that did work for a bit but I had a bit too much fun with the stevia chocolate! And was eating all day hence I only lost a little bit of weight!

I first heard about fasting from a good friend of mine. She lost 18kg and I honestly didn’t buy into fasting then it all sounded too simple to be honest.. didn’t get how eating in a smaller time frame would help me loose weight! But then this was the one thing I hadn’t tried! Why not try this! I started with 18:6 and started loosing weight straight away! I was so surprised that this was actually working so I decided to do more research on this and a whole world just opened up to me! I found the IF story’s podcast from Gin Stephens and there I learned about the clean fast and how important it is long term and read her book and became part of her Facebook page and then your page and honestly being active in those groups has kept me going! I started my journey in the first lockdown August 2020 and I was just after having my 3rd baby in 3 years and I was morbidly obese

SW 135kg 298lbs

CW 75kg 165lbs

GW 75kg 165lbs

I’m 175cm 5’9

I’m someone who’s always been overweight and have yo-yo’d from being overweight to obese and then morbidity obese. I’ve never been at a happy weight… until now!!

I did 18:6 at the start did that for good 5-6 months and then that evolved into 20:4 I reached my goal weight in August 2021 so 1 year I managed to do this!

IF has been unbelievable healing process for me.. when I started fasting it’s like something was finally plugged in! I finally understood my body! And I was finally able to listen to my body.. where as before it’s been a constant battle and a real disconnect between me and my body! Now there’s a great connection and almost like a spiritual awakening! I sound like a right hippie now ! Haha! But with every fast it’s like my body says ahh thank you! I needed that rest from digestion!
