In this episode of Intermittent Fasting Stories, Gin talks to Kristi Osborn from Dover, DE.

BIG NEWS! We have made some major changes in the Delay, Don’t Deny membership community, including moving to a whole new platform. Our old platform had some bugs and issues with functionality which kept us from connecting as easily as we hoped, so we have moved the entire community. It’s new and improved—and we are already feeling at home. If you’re looking for intermittent fasting support in a cozy community that celebrates the clean fast, you can now join us by going to ginstephens.com/community. And, if you were a Delay, Don’t Deny Social Network member who was under-whelmed with the experience, we promise the new community has everything we hoped for but didn’t have on the old platform.

You can connect directly with Gin in the Ask Gin group, and she’ll answer all of your questions personally. If you’re new to intermittent fasting or recommitting to the IF lifestyle, join the 28-Day FAST Start group, and both Gin and the other group members will walk virtually beside you each day of your FAST Start. After your fast start, join Gin and other community members for support in The 1st Year group. There are many more useful spaces beyond these three, and you can join as many as you like.

Members of the DDD Community have access to all episodes of Intermittent Fasting Stories streaming within the community platform, ad-free! You can even download them to your device and listen off-line. That’s just one reason to join.

Visit ginstephens.com/community to join. An annual membership is $59.95. If you aren’t ready to fully commit for a year, join for $9.99 a month and you can cancel at any time. If you know you’ll want to stay forever, we also have a lifetime membership option available.

IF is free. You don’t need to join our community to fast. But if you’re looking for support from a community of like-minded IFers, we are here for you at ginstephens.com/community.

NOTE: If you were an annual member of the DDD Social Network who joined between March and September of 2021, please go to https://dddsocialnetwork.com/news/96401, log in, and read about how you can make the transition to the new platform at no additional charge.

Kristi shares that with the pandemic of 2020, she put on weight, making her borderline obese. With a new job, Kristi decided it was time to do something about it.

She had done Weight Watchers ten years prior and decided to try it again. However, this time the weight was not budging!

Kristi found IF through a Weight Watchers online community chat. Then a friend told her about Delay, Don't Deny, and the DDD Facebook group. She also read Fast Feast Repeat and The Obesity Code. Kristi says: "IF was the first thing that made sense!" She began with a 16:8 protocol, quickly moving to 18:6. After three months of IF, she lost 30 pounds!

Kristi's health benefits: A great deal of energy, and she no longer has heartburn, nor restless legs. Her advice to new IFers: Don't stop! IF is doing something even if you don't lose weight right away. Stay engaged and pick one thing that you know will keep you motivated and stay engaged with it!
