On Jan. 2, 2019, at age 28 and 235 pounds, Shannon wanted to start the new year with healthier habits. She was motivated by her brother after spending time with him over the holidays — he'd lost a lot of weight through intermittent fasting. "I noticed a real change in him, so I called and asked him how I can do it," Shannon said.
Shannon started 16:8 intermittent fasting and said, "I thought it would be very hard and was nervous about starting, but it's been the easiest thing I've ever done to lose weight!" She ate between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. each day and used the LIFE Fasting Tracker to keep track of her fasts.
