[@elaineconlan1865]

Mine are 14 and 9 lol xx started uk size 12 went up to 20 with first then down to 14 then up to 24 and cannot lose it at all xx

[@chelseasmith97]

I love how you described “skinny” as a feeing. I completely agree. It’s really just about making yourself feel good!

[@bd7852]

As a person with an eating disorder, your disclaimer at the beginning really touched my heart. Thank you for including it.

[@HairTwoHeels]

This can be such a tricky topic to cover because it can be a trigger for so many people, and you spoke about it so eloquently, honestly and with love. You were beautiful in every shape you've had. If you feel you're showing up as your most authentic self at this new weight then that's incredible and I'm so proud of you!

[@denaebranch9313]

This was perfectly put.

[@VixenTheLady]

Elle Lindquist so well said! I enjoyed the video too and agree the subject can be tricky. Sending good vibes out to you all 🥰🥰🥰

[@KatieGrady1997]

I just started intermittent fasting. I honestly feel better than I have in years! I’ve lost about 8lbs in 2 weeks.

[@rebeccalane9028]

I love this style of video !! It feels just like we're friends chit chatting! You look great! Definitely going to look into it!

[@jessicastoch7042]

You look great Angie, it's a wonderful feeling when you get to that point. I'm looking forward to the next video xx

Thank you for the eating disorder disclaimer. You are such a conscientious and kind woman

[@eddyfam5]

Love this thank you, you addressed weight loss so graciously.

[@janinelua6308]

Being Muslim, we fast the month of Ramadan and it really does change alot of stuff in your body! Fasting is amazing!!

[@GoingGreenMom]

Forgive my ignorance please, but you fast for an entire month?

[@spottedbybarbie]

Janine lua what do others do during fasting if they are just a home stayed wife?

[@safiyanurein5666]

@@GoingGreenMom yes

[@mariabajrakova1468]

Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset 1 whole month each year. Also we fast every monday ANd thursday from sunrise to sunset, but this is not obligatory. Also fasting is not obligatory upon sick person , children under the age of 13, ANd ofc pregnant woman. If u have to take medications etc that is life important u can Also skip the fasting. But Then IT is a duty of that NON fasting person to ex: feed the poor, or do something Else that is charity. We fast both for the reminding of other people that are less fortunate, to have self control, ANd to be more spiritual ANd be concentrating on doing good to other, feed the poor etc. But ofc Also we do this AS a Benefit for our physical ANd mental health. After the month is over u feel like a total different person ANd u feel more energized than ever 😊

[@hadidjaradjabu187]

Going Green Mom : it’s from sunrise to the sunset. Basically no foods or drinks (nothing in the month) during the day until dark.

[@alexandriadeluca8605]

I highly recommend intermittent fasting, it’s worked amazingly for me. I’ve lost 130lbs doing clean intermittent fasting and in my eating window I eat clean, I have 2 vegetarian days and 1 vegan day a week and on other days I eat red meat. I don’t drink hot drinks, I love water I drink about 3/4 litres a day. I’ve still got weight to lose but so far in 13months I’ve lost 130lbs. I always work out twice a week.

[@SaraLea]

Alex Tyler wow. That’s great! I did it but lost not one single pound :/

[@hannaht4612]

Great job!

[@missjackiebean]

How long is your eating window?

[@yahushaiscoming7468]

Wow awesome, I'm going to give it ago😀

[@sylawka]

Rubyfreckles consult with someone professional, it’s very important to have clean diet and also maybe some basic checkup is needed, blood test etc. it’s sometimes a little bit complicated than just “dieting” :)

[@Anne-gn6is]

Thank you for the encouragement to start this again. I begin IF (after watching Ashley's video!), but for whatever reason, I stopped after a week. I'm getting back on it. Even that first week, I noticed healing in my skin, and my acid reflux disappeared! Can't wait to see your q and a!

[@iheartchina8160]

Greetings from Dali, China!!! Thanks for these words, and for sharing your journey! Here's to a new year and a healthier perspective!!!

[@ElyWill]

“A busted can of biscuits.” 😆 So true! It is a feeling and you aren’t pinned down by numbers and the scale. That’s what skinny really feels like. Thanks for sharing and your delicacy in your story. How inspiring and beautiful you are! Your before photo is me at the moment. Hoping to get to your after someday soon with IF.

[@amandavia6671]

😍😍😍 loved this, Thanks Angie! I'm gunna research & hopefully get started. I have SO MANY of the same issues & praying it will help most with my sleep & GI.

Angela. I have been watching "the gathered nest" and I notice comments are disabled. I have wanted to comment on so many of them . I admire you and your husband so much for what you do - The love you give these children , the fact you have given these children a man and dad and a great family unit is amazing . You have a beautiful family , you must be so proud. How do you stay so youthful ,beautiful and fresh looking with all the work you do looking after a big family and also writing a book . Respect and hats off to you and your husband ... All the best from a UK fan.

[@SimplyLivingIt]

Beautiful video, mama! Very relatable! 💜 Intermittent fasting is so great! I have been challenging myself to drink a gallon of water a day and really focus on REAL food and a good restful nights sleep...6.5+ hours a night and to stop eating after 6:30. Thank you for sharing this video with is all! 💜 🌸

[@elodiepate5805]

Good to hear that intermittent fasting works! For me loosing some weight and getting healthier, less bloating, better moods etc, was with beeing gluten free like you + beeing dairy free. + Stopping refined sugars for the most part. The first month is the hardest, but it keeps getting better afterwards! Btw i love watching your family videos :) You are such an inspiration

[@ElyWill]

“A buster can of biscuits.” 😆 So true! It is a feeling and you aren’t pinned down by numbers and the scale.

[@rellyb9636]

I had to rewatch this video to convince myself to stop putting creamer in my coffee. I’ve been doing IF for 2 weeks. Creamer is the one thing that’s hard to give up. 😅

[@rachellebrown6457]

Good for you! That is definitely an awesome accomplishment to be able to know what works for your body at its best!

[@GraceandGrit]

When you don’t feel like a busted can of biscuits 😂 made me laugh so hard! So happy for your success! You are beautiful at every stage ❤️

[@beckymoe7]

Yes to this🙌. When I married my hubby 23 years ago his family and my family thought I was unhealthy because I would not be hungry until around 2 each day and would be done eating by dinner. I was a size 4 even after having 5 kids (at that time, now 7). Then after years I gave in and ate my hubby’s way. I gained so much weight, I have been taking it off again with my 6/18 intermittent fasting. 23 years ago I did not have a name for it. Thankful now I have science to back me up. Also thankful my hubby came around and admitted he was wrong. Can’t really blame he though. It was just what everyone thought was healthy for me.

[@becca.carroll]

I have an 8 month old wee bubba and have been planning from the start to ignore my weight until she hit 8 months and then REALLY try to turn it round. I've always been bigger and had hyperemesis too. I'm now dangerously over weight and having a wee bubba who is such a good motivator. Ready to be healthy physically after making sure I looked after myself mentally! Thanks for the chats it makes this whole journey less daunting!

Thanks, girl! I had a baby a few months ago and this video is very relevant! I just read an article about intermittent fasting and the ideal period is just 14 hours. Thanks for acknowledging that your weight number after having a baby is higher but you still feel better and look better. You look great!

[@michelle8275]

Loved this!! So helpful and I’ve been also dabbling into intermittent fasting and this motivated me to keep it clean and try the 16:8 daily. Loved that you emphasized having grace with ourselves and how that’s led you to this place!! So important and for me personally the strict rules never works!! Would love to see some videos on what you eat in a week! Blessings to you and yours! 💕

[@thisgoldenhour]

amen, sister!! I've been doing intermittent fasting for just over a year now and the weight loss is only the tip of the "iceberg of benefits" it's brought! I would add that it's important to eat well during your eating window (don't try to "eat as little as barely possible" during that time), and it's such a sustainable lifestyle!

[@thisgoldenhour]

also Dr, Eric Berg here on youtube is a great resource :)

[@vanessaelhenicky5288]

I'm currently 6 months pregnant w/ our 7th baby & I was doing OMAD pre-pregnancy to lose the last baby weight. Switched back to IF after getting that positive & this has been my best pregnancy so far. No nausea or aversions of any kind, no first trimester naps needed, not 20lbs by 20 weeks (I've always gained 40) I've gained a very average 15 lb. I started exercising again 3 weeks ago & those days I do I notice hunger comes earlier, so I oblige. It truly is an intuitive way to eat.

[@codered0280]

Thank you very much for this video, very informative. I’ve been trying this somewhat on my own.

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been doing IF since January, to date I'm down 21lbs. I usually do 16 to 18 hour fast. My energy level is through the roof! I was always skeptical but now I know it works and it's just become a way of life.

I found your channel through Catherine from Do It On a Dime. This is the first video that popped up for me from you. I too suffered through two pregnancies with severe Hyperemesis. I have been struggling with my weight and the effects from all the medicines. So many people don’t understand what it is and it’s hard trying to find a program that will work for me. I will definitely do my research and give it a try. So happy to have finally found someone who understands 😭😭

[@justjillyo]

You make this sound so doable!!!! I have been looking for something to help me jump start again with my weight loss. I love my coffee protein shake in the morning but I think I could wait a couple hours to start it. So maybe a 10-7 eating window would work for me. I could probably even do 10-6 bc I eat dinner with my parents a lot and they eat early. I am really bad at thinking that since I ate dinner early I will for sure need a bowl of cereal before bed. If I could get out of that mindset then that would help. Also I think I should snack more in between meals so that I don't a) overeat at dinner or b) feel hungry before bed. Can't wait to see the q&a video! Thanks for sharing.

[@LoveJoyPeace4612]

I thumbs upped your video seconds in because of your message about weight not being the end all be all and consideration for those with eating disorders in the beginning. Bravo. Great message.

I am someone who suffers from HG as well - am currently 31 weeks and still struggle with nausea. I find that we tend to overeat when we can eat to compensate for the loss of nutrition which leads to lots of bloating and weight gain. Plus all the meds. A lot of people think I can’t be that sick if I keep gaining weight - but its much more complicated than that. Glad you found a way to be healthy and happy in your body after such a rough pregnancy. I’m hoping to be able to do that too, as my nr 1 worry right now is just staying healthy and having a healthy baby.

I am so glad that you have found something which works for you & makes your body feel good in more ways than you even expected! 💜 I have tried intermittent fasting, because the very early science in animals is so interesting & possible benefits so amazing, but my body just never feels good 😣 I get light-headed & hangry 🤯 So I have gone back to what normally feels good for me (regular eating, regular exercise) & feel so much better. Thanks for sharing your experience - hopefully it reminds everyone to try things until they figure out what feels good for them & their body & lifestyle!
