Episode 96 Marcy Lemasters Finding her way to "The Fasting Highway" a life long yo dieter's success with intermittent fasting.

My name is Marcy Lemasters. I’m from Middletown, Missouri where i live with my husband of 33 years. I have two adult boys age 31 and 21. My dieting journey began basically from birth. I jokingly say, “If anyone has an excuse to be overweight, It’s me. I was born overweight.” I weighed in at 11 lbs. 10 oz when I was born in 1969. I’m the youngest of 4 children. My mom was diabetic during her pregnancy with me and each child had just gotten bigger and bigger. The first diet I ever remember being on was the summer of 1986, between my junior and senior years in high school. I’m 5’4” and weighed 150 lbs then. I got down to around 120 once I started college, by just eating frozen yogurt, granola bars and Diet Soda. From then on, I was on a roller coaster of dieting my entire life. I didn’t discover Intermittent Fasting until a few years ago. I had fasted off and on before this, but only for religious reasons. The most drastic was probably 19 years ago, when I fasted for 25 days and only ate one meal a day, which was a very small meal and I lost 25 pounds in 25 days. After that I went right back to regular eating and my weight was up and down. I tried Keto 3 times, for 3 months each time, but hated it. 167 pounds was the highest weight I got. I counted calories and started running in January of 2015. That got me down to 109 at my smallest. Due to injuries, I could no longer run, so my weight crept back up to 162. Since starting IF this year on June 10th, I’ve lost 21 lbs. I’ve been plateaued for a month, but my entire attitude has changed and I plan to be IF for life. I love it!
