Well a friends wedding is in 2 weeks and I have nothing to wear so I am doing a fast till her wedding to get into an old outfit. I actually love fasting (weird right?) Cos I do it for spiritual and physical reasons. When I have something I want to achieve I find that fasting puts me in a positive frame of mind. Today is day 2 of my fast and it has been tough. I just keep remembering all the times that I broke a fast before I was supposed to and how bad I ended up feeling and its keeping me going for now. Anyway I was 176lbs yesterday morning. Gained 2lbs over the last week because I was excessive started eating bread and junk again. Good news is I lost 3lbs on my first day of fasting. Wouldn't it be great if I could lose 3lbs everyday to the wedding? Wishful thinking!
I have given myself a target of 149lbs before my holiday in a month so I will do a 30day countdown of being healthy and exercising and see how close I get to that weight. After that my last hurdle will be 6weeks to drop the other 30lbs before Jan 1st.
DAY ONE
SW: 176lbs
CW; 173lbs
TW: 149lbs
Loss 3lbs, To go 24lbs

Hey Meltdown. For my fast I don't eat before 6PM. I have only water when I wake up then at 6pm I have just one meal. Even if after the meal I feel hungry a few hours later, I just try and contain myself and meditate. Yesterday I had sauteed vegetables, roast chicken breast and french fries that's all I have eaten till my next meal. I have noticed once I start eating early in the morning I continue eating everything the WHOLE day.
This weight loss journey is so difficult just wish I could blink like Jeanie or twitch my nose and miraculously be 120lbs. I have lost 20lbs in 6weeks but still have 50lbs to go before the end of the year. Food is like my best friend sometimes. I just eat out of boredom, anger, depression, laziness, fear and so many other negative emotions. I need to retrain my body to eat for the right reasons I.e. Hunger. Once I am able to do that the weight loss should come easily.
Anyway have lost an additional 3lbs.
DAY 3
SW: 176lbs
CW: 170lbs
TW: 149lbs
Loss: 6lbs, To go: 21lbs

My mother kept her weight stable (on the slightly overweight level) for years just eating one large meal a day in the evening, with sometimes some chocolate during the evening also. She was 82 when she died so it's obviously not a huge no-no.

Lost some more. Currently at 164lbs. My brother noticed that I have lost some weight which was nice and I am getting my confidence back and not feeling as agoraphobic due to being FAT!!! Actually wore a nice black dress to dinner this evening which I havent worn in over a year when I was about 155lbs.

Hiya! I am still here. Still at 164 though just trying to maintain before I get into a new phase of weight loss. Had to cancel my holiday because I have soo much work to do and no point going on holiday and thinking about work. Have managed to lose 26lbs in 2 months and although I am still overweight I feel great! More confidence, more pride in my appearance and more positive about life in general. I thank God for my progress so far and i am optimistic that I will reach my target weight.

Hi, im new, just read this thread, I also have an aim to lose 70 lbs in total, lost 10 lbs in the first 10 days, but like yourself, I'm expecting it to slow down, a stone a month would be lovely! But my more realistic target for me is September this year. My problem is as much as a put weight on too quickly, I get it off to quick, hence vicious spiral! Good luck, and a huge congrats on how well you've done so far x
