This day last year I did my first fast. Gosh it was a hard slog! But I succeeded! And now a year later, today's weigh-in shows that I've shed 31.5kg (69.5 lbs; a smidge under 5 stone)
Plus:
And last, but by no means least, I've met a lovely bunch of virtual friends here on the forum.
In summary...its all good!
Plus:
- My waist has shrunk by at least 25 cm (10 inches)...not sure exactly how much as I didn't measure my waist at first.
- I've gone from a size 20 (UK) to a size 12.
- My BMI has decreased from 38.6 to 27
- My % body fat has gone from at least 50 (I didn't get body fat analyser scales until nearly 6 months in) to 36.7.
- My blood pressure has dropped from 150/100 to 127/80.
- I've learned a massive amount about weight loss, nutrition, metabolism, exercise.
- I've discovered that being hungry is just temporary.
- I've gone from feeling that my weight would continually increase until the associated health problems would send me to an early grave to feeling that I am in control of my weight and also my health.
And last, but by no means least, I've met a lovely bunch of virtual friends here on the forum.
