Milestone

By

Sorry that I have been absent from this website for the past few days!

This week, I have been really focusing and concentrating on two things:

  • Weight Loss
  • Exercise

The heavy concentration and focus have paid off too.

Fast

On Saturday, July 29, I started a new fast. I decided to go for a 10 day fast this time because those always produce super results for me.

My experience of getting results from a 10 day fast has proven correct too!

I have dropped 15 pounds in the past 6 days. This morning, I weighed in at 239.8. I can’t even remember the last time I weighed less than 240. As close as I can figure it must have been during Junior High School. I feel great seeing that number on the scale, and it came sooner than I expected. I thought it would be at least another week before I broke into the 230s, but I got a shock when I stepped on the scale this morning.

Another bit of great news

With today’s weigh-in, my BMI went from 35.2 to 34.9. Moving below 35 officially takes from “Class 2 Obese” to “Class 1 Obese”. Next step is that I will simply be “Overweight” and no longer Obese! Can’t wait for that!

Latest Body Composition Numbers

Here is today’s Data from my Tanita Body Composition Monitor.

Nothing feels better than moving ahead!

      Thank you Jim, to be honest, my life is already a lot better, but it’s just going to keep on improving from here.

      Of course, when you’re fasting, a lot of the way that you lose is water weight, and it comes back on when you start eating. I would expect that 5 pounds of that will come back with water retention. But still 10 pounds in 6 days is great.
