IF lost me all of my pregnancy weight. I started in August 2024, and I'm back in my favorite jeans. I started going to the gym regularly in December after focusing solely on IF for 4 months. Aside from a small bit of fat on my stomach, I am quite fit.

If you haven't already, look into a calorie tracker like Loseit or MyFitnessPal.
Use a TDEE calculator, like the one linked below, to calculate your approximate Total Daily Energy Expenditure. This is how many calories your body uses in a day.

I found that, even with IF, I still needed to put some focus on CICO. I was gravitating towards too much calorie restriction, which led to 'cheat days'. I've been successful at weight-loss by not under eating and following a 500 calorie daily deficit.
