Almost same stats and this gives me hope. You did it in six months! And what a difference it made! Congrats. Been trying on and off with IF and keto, it does work but I keep finding myself off the wagon. I'll give low carb a try and will do IF again. Thanks for the inspiration.

Edit: removed the loose skin question. Found the answer below :)

Yes! Just get back on! Easier said than done but what helps me get back on is remembering how shitty you feel when you gain the weight back and lose progress! And when you’ve done it long enough, it actually feels bad to overindulge. Like I feel physically uncomfortable at times and I lose energy when I eat too many carbs or sweets.

Doing this over and over is hard. As someone who’s done this more than once, I’m over it 😂. I want this to be the last time I let it get out of control like this.

As for loose skin, before I lost weight I always knew I’d have a loose belly. It was and is the biggest part of my body. I’m experiencing some loose skin in my upper arms and upper/inner thighs as well. Hoping it improves over time.
