2018 MAY 28 -- Day 47

I did it! I hit my short-term goal! Today my scale said 358.6 lbs! I can't believe it. I am so excited, elated, amazed, ecstatic, overjoyed, and all other of the best adjectives to describe this feeling I can't think of right now.

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 358.6 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

I am under 360 lbs finally! I knew I was still losing fat even if the lying liar of a scale showed otherwise. When I got home from work this morning, my scale had the audacity to say 365.4 lbs! How dare it! I was a bit swollen, and I'm not sure how that happened. I have a theory about the electrolytes, but that's neither here nor there.

By this evening at 6:30 PM when I woke to start getting ready for work, the weight dropped to below 360 lbs for the first time in... well, forever! I now weigh less than I did when I was 13 years old!

Picture day!

And also time to set a new short-term goal. This time, I want to see 325 lbs or fewer on the scale. I can do this!

Here are images for the comparison:




I can definitely see the difference. It's not too big of a change, but it's enough that I can see it. It's in my face, especially, I think. I also believe that belly scar is finally healing up. I had spilled a pot of boiling water on myself, and it's been red and angry-looking for quite a while. I think the autophagy is working!

I have hit the 48-hour mark on my current fast. I'm actually at 57h:20m right now. I feel great! I have set a fasting goal of 72-hours, but I think I may try for longer. I want to go as long as I can so that I can see the best results in weight loss. I'm so excited that I have finally found something that works for me! I am going to be transformed!

I know it's unrealistic, but ideally I would fast for the next 300 days, and then be set for the cruise we are planning in March of 2019. Maybe I can do short-term fasts, eat for a day, and then fast again, and then lather, rinse, repeat until our trip. Maybe that will do the trick. I don't know yet. I'll see how it goes.

I can't wait to see the full transformation graph:

2017 OCT 2 -- Day 44

So far this month (I'm doing 30-day "months," so this is not based on the actual calendar months), I have lost a total of 7.2 lbs. That means I'm losing about a half-a-pound a day. This is not ideal. I was hoping to lose a pound per day. Right now I am at 386.6 lbs. This is good. I'm down from yesterday, but I'm only down by 0.6 lbs. Reducing by only a half-a-pound a day will get me to my goal twice as slow! Ugh. I should be happy I'm losing, and I shouldn't be upset that it's not fast enough. By anyone's standards, I'm losing too quickly. The average is, like, 10 lbs per month, and I'm on par to lose about 15 lbs in this 30-day period. It's more than expected or average, but it's half of what I wanted. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:   386.6  lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs In my last 30-day period, I started by graph out at 415 lbs, but I wasn't sure of that number as I didn...
