100th Fast In Progress

by Carleneruns on 16 Jun 2014, 17:24

Today is my 100th Fast. My Fasting Anniversary is coming up in a few weeks (July 2nd). I have lost about 30 pounds. I'm a bit disappointed by that. I really thought I'd have lost more weight by now. But I've been struggling with a killer plateau and so progress stalled for quite a long time.

This last week was encouraging though. I stayed below 200 pounds for the entire week. Usually on the days between fasts, my weight pops back up above 200. But this week it stayed in the 190's. Today, my fast day started with 199. But this is still a victory. Hopefully this means I'll be moving into some new territory soon. I really would like to get back to making solid progress again because I still have a long way to go.

Onward!

Well done Carleneruns! It's hard being on a long plateau. I know all about it. I think we just have to keep the faith. Losing weight is hard. You have already done really well and probably your body just needs to adjust to being your new weight before it will allow you to lose more. Hang in there.

Thanks Sallyo! I am still sticking with this and hoping for the best. Let's just hope our bodies get the message that there is more weight to shed soon eh. It would be nice to see some new numbers on the scale. And get rid of this spare tire around my hips.
