I had a repeat DXA scan recently and the headline news is that it vindicates the WOE and schedule that I follow.
June 2013 I was 127lbs and 42% body fat
March 2014 119lbs 30.1% body fat
March 2015 102lbs 20.1% body fat
My stringent gym/workout/activities mean that I've managed to conserve my muscle mass remarkably well given the 17lbs weight difference in a year. Usual estimates are that during WLM, somewhere from 15-60% of drops in mass will be lean body mass (LBM) rather than body fat (BF).
I lost 300g of skeletal muscle which is:
i) within the repeat error range for a DXA
ii) much lower than would usually be expected
iii) the version I prefer is that this shows that my vanguard actions to retain my muscle mass are allowing me to hold station.
The downside of iii) is that it might indicate just how very hard I need to work to maintain my muscle mass and it would tend to confirm my suspicion that surgery...

Nearly 5 years, my how time flies. My current weight is 135, and I have decided to start fasting more often to get to my goal of 128. Anything between 128-132 is good these days. I have been around...

With two big holiday events in the past 10 days, my eating parameters have suffered a bit to say the least! For some reason I just could not get myself to fast this past week AT ALL, plus those two events...

Popped back up to the 155 range this morning (10/30/2017), but feels like this is the ceiling instead of the floor this time, which is encouraging. Besides, my monthly cycles appeared today, so must allow...

I'm currently shifting a lot of my mindset and methods this week, so I'm jumping off the weeks and switching to days. This is, after all, a whole life kind of thing, right? Besides, I don't like having...

Good luck, @moderatemeals! I think you'll love this way of life!

Thanks for the comment, cblasz.
Maybe this WOE is so successful that everyone's lost the weight and got on with their lives! I can hope ...

Yes, it is terribly dead here, especially lately. I think that people either just have all the information they need or have stopped this WOE. It is a shame. But stick around. It seems to go in waves....
