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:

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
