100 pounds 1 year

WorkinOnTheNewMe

I did. I hit 100 pounds RIGHT at one year!! I did it 💯 natural. No pills, no surgery, all me. Just fasting! I eat every other day only lunch and dinner. I'm sure that sounds extreme to some, but if u look up benefits of fasting and autophagy you would see why I chose this route. I love it so much!! If you stick with what you want, try hard to achieve it, and believe in yourself, it'll happen in time!! You didn't gain all your weight over night so don't expect it to come off that way.

First of all, Congratulations on the weight loss.
Please don’t take this offensive though. Losing weight that fast, will result on a saggier stomach. I hope you take it slower with the extreme diet you are doing.

With a hundred pounds to lose, averaging just under 2lbs per week would not really be considered extreme. Additionally loose skin is down to many factors including age, genetics, etc. When I lost the bulk of my weight at 2lbs per week, I had no loose skin at all.

ETA. Congratulations OP, I wish you every success with Maintenance. Fasting isn't for me, but seems it has worked for you!

100 pounds in a year comes out to just under 2 pounds per week. Whether or not a rate of loss is too aggressive depends on where the person starts and how their weight loss slows as the fat stores come down. I started really heavy and my first year's weight loss was 158 pounds and other than my first 6 weeks or so I made it a habit to stay under the 1 percent rule (never lose more than 1 percent of your total body weight in a week). I ate much of what I wanted and I also ate everyday so I didn't try as hard as the OP though.

2 pounds a week is NOT extreme!

Well done!

I am also losing weight by using intermittent fasting - 600 calories on 3 days a week - and it is working well for me too.

I have read about the health benefits but I am doing it this way simply because it means 4 days a week I can eat well rather than having to restrict all 7 days a week which does not work for me at all as I find my tenancy towards binging harder to control.

What an accomplishment, I applaud you

The best diet is the one that works for you (I read that on this site the first day I came here) and your story just supports that advice.
