3/4 of an inch totally counts and must be noted. :)

Thanks! I'm currently reading the book "The FastDiet" by Michael Mosley. Fascinating read about the science behind fasting and what happens with your body.

Here is my weekly weigh-in post. I will update weekly as my weigh-in day is Friday. 6/23/17: 200lbs Began OMAD/Intermittent fasting on Monday 6/26/17 6/30/17: 197lbs 7/07/17: 195lbs Down 5 pounds since beginning and down 2 pounds this week!

Siestas are great!

Yes, I have discovered that I absolutely cannot "awaken the beast" before I'm ready to full on break my fast!

Day 10 of Intermittent Fasting... So, it is Day 10 of skipping breakfast and only eating lunch and dinner. It is also day 10 of trying to stay under 1500 calories with this fasting approach.

I can see a difference for sure and you look great. If you don't already know about it, Freeletics is an app (there is a free version and a paid version, I only use the free version) that also has lots of bodyweight exercises. Keep on going. You look fantastic. :smile:

Fantastic work. Many would love to be in your shoes. :)

I totally get where you are coming from. It's really hard to be at the beginning with (what seems like) so much weight to lose and knowing it could take an entire year to reach your goal. I have found that when I give in to fast food, ordering small sizes of everything helps with my calorie budget. Take it one…

Same here. If I have it in the house, I will eat it. If I want ice cream (or soda or other snacks that I would binge on) I make it so I have to go to a fast food place to get it. It makes it more expensive (so I can't do it all the time), plus comes in a smaller serving than a tub. My personal rule is that I am allowed to…

I bet if you incorporate some strength training (bodyweight exercises are the most convenient) you would see some changes in your body composition. A great resource for information on this is nerdfitness.com

Stay physically active. Go light on calories in the way of late night beer and fast food!
