Hey there, DC. I know your story because it is mine. Well… I was in the 115-120 range for years and years, wanting to get back to 110. Lost weight when I married [had my 1st job and just didn’t snack] and got to 108 and looked gaunt. Weight went up, then back to 112 after 1st child. Then back up to 120-ish, then 2nd child and return to 120-125. Went up and down a few pounds, then lost 10 pounds to reduce my cholesterol. [it worked] Then gained again and had a hard time losing those 10-12 pounds. by then I was in my early 60s. Went on the Fast Diet to keep my husband company and to encourage him. [he lost 40 pounds] Lo and Behold! My weight went to 110 very easily, then to 108 [and I didn’t look gaunt], then down to 107-106 where I am very happy.

In brief: this diet works even for the 15 pounds. And then you stay on it for maintenance, 1 or 2 days/week. Good luck. Post your results and questions.

We do 2 days each week. Try that and see how it works. Sometimes, like after the holiday eating, we stick to our 2 Fasts but then have a dinner that is 300 calories — sort of 1/2 a Fast Day. Since we have lots of delicious Fasting recipes in our files, it is not a hardship to eat a 300 calorie dinner on a Slow Day. As you go on with this Lifestyle, you will find that your appetite will decrease, which makes it easier to eat less on a Slow Day.
Keep at it.
