After having her three children and raising them, Marie’s weight continued to climb. By May of 2020, Marie’s weight had reached 200 pounds and she felt desperate. A close friend shared IF with her, and Marie listened to Delay, Don’t Deny. Marie immediately began her IF journey and just celebrated her three-year IF anniversary! Marie has lost 40 pounds. Her skin, hair, and nails have all improved. Her plantar fasciitis has disappeared, and she is now in tune with her body. Marie’s advice: Take measurements and pictures before you begin IF.
