Hello everyone…I’m 4-weeks into the program but with one ‘lost week’ of eating entertaining international guests + a conference….sigh… but I have fairly consistent 2.2lbs (1kg) per week weight loss. I love the fasting days albeit the first 2x-3xs hard but now my body & mind look forward to it, feel lighter, more clear headed, happier, sleep less but deeper.

For me, the BIG difference is in the exercise. The weight falls off when I hike/walk 1-hour a day. But my body is pretty sore & unreliable from a 2-year physical illness that left me unable to take more the 5-6 steps without help…so the muscles are weak and easily stop working. But when that happens I just rest and try later in the day for 20-30min. I’m determined to succeed. I’ve not weighed 145lbs in 20 years! Enough with the fat now! FAT BE GONE!

I weigh myself 1x per week.

START DATE : 16 June 2013, height 5’6″(170.6 cm), weight 196lbs(89kg)
GOAL: 145lbs (65.7kg) plan lose 2.2lbs (1kg) per week
END DATE: 16th December 2013!

It’s inspirational & motivating to read all your successes and challenges.

Hello BurritoQueen,
I think you hit upon one key element – exercise has done the same for me as well. I started out a workout routine after a long sedentary period, and my muscles were sore & I was stiff as well at first – but in not much time my muscles toned up, and wow, what a difference! Keep at it – you’re worth it, and you will look buff pretty quickly! Weight loss: I haven’t weighed 160 lbs in decades, I’m still not sure I can believe it as well, and I started dieting and exercising a year ago, at a weight of well over 200 lbs. – you’ll be amazed with your own progress as well!! The exercise takes the weight off much faster, go for it!!
Cheers!
from Chuck.

…this week I’ve lost 6kg in 6 weeks…amazing! I’m SOOOOOO happy! Slowly slowly adding lite-weights …for a few revolutions..my body is so easily hurt ( I hate this weakness I who hiked all the Bavarian mountain peaks, fought forest fires for 10-years ..etc., etc.) But the sun is out and I’m going for a 2nd 45min walk ..on my fast-day ….why not?
