Congratulations, Insane. Seven pounds more? A piece of cake (I mean, a carrot stick.)
Good job. What is a cookie?
Hi, KT.
I am going along, getting accustomed to the one evening meal, and eating lightly then. Was at Costco and just had a diet soda. Bypassed the hand outs.
Limiting myself to one large cup of coffee and the rest of the day herbal tea. My appetite is much decreased and my energy is back. (I have a big bottle of Vit D and will start tomorrow with a multivitamin. Thank you, RN)
I went to the nutritionist last night: In the 10 days on this plan, I have lost 5 pounds. She warned me that my metabolism will adjust downward to this decreased calorie count. I asked her, "what am I going to do to lose more weight, if I stop losing, 'cut off my arm?'" She laughed and said, "No. Exercise."
She agreed with the theory of fasting depleting the glycogen stores and forcing the body to turn to the stored abdominal fat.
Walrus. I see you posted just now. Hi.
Nomad. All of this is thanks to you. If you had not looked up that 5:2 diet, by Dr. Mosley. And you, Lil. I had not heart of the alternate day fasting until you told me about your sister in law.
Thank you all.
That makes me all the more committed to stick to this as long as can do so successfully.
I am hoping to start work by June 13th. I want to get to 164 by then, within 25 pounds of my goal of 139.
With this weight loss, I am getting hopeful that with exercise, I will be able to get to 132, which is a good weight for me.
