Episode 306 Holly Rogers- Living her best IF Life. The journey continues
Sun Feb 08 2026
I'm a wife of 49 years, mother of two adult children, andGrammy to two wonderful girls. I've worked for my company for 45 years and look to retire in the next 2 years. I love to walk, hike, travel, read and be as active and healthy as possible.
I never had to worry about my weight until my early30's. I was the skinny kid. My dad always told me I had toothpick legs. I could eat anything and everything and never gain weight. When I got married at 22, I weighed 122 lbs., the highest I'd ever been. When I got pregnant with my daughter eight years later, I weighed 127 lbs. I gained 22 lbs during my pregnancy and lost it quickly. As I moved into my 30s, weight suddenly became an issue, and within about 5 years, I'd gotten up to 160 lbs. I joined a Weight Watchers at-work group and got down to 125 lbs., but looked gaunt and unhealthy. But, as is often the case, WW proved unsustainable. And I got back up to where I was when I originally joined WW. I then tried so many other "diets" and landed at around 140 lbs. In 2021, I had a total knee replacement and gained 15 lbs. due to inactivity and comforteating. I tried WW again, lost 5 lbs. and then the scale wouldn't budge any further. My daughter had suggested IF, but the word "fasting" was frightening to me. Finally, I was so desperate that I said I'd give it a try. January 26, 2022, was the day I started IF, and I will never live my life any differently. I lost the other 10 lbs. Plus another 15 and have settled into an IF lifestyle.
