I can tell my weight by gripping my tummy and usually my scales confirm my estimation.

@Golarne: thanks, I hope that if people find the post helpful that some of them will keep on posting and bumping it up. It is weird here how posts can drop out of consciousness once they no longer feature in the active topics, then sometimes come back months later like zombies - only in a good way...
as far as labs go, i wouldn't let myself start until i could get in and have those done, and considered that my start day for my progress tracker although i didn't have my first fast for a couple more days. i couldn't talk the doc into the IGF-1, but have results for the list below. lipid panel is my big problem, and i'm really hoping to see those numbers up (or down) as appropriate when i check back in a couple of months.
GLUCOSE, FASTING
FASTING LIPID PANEL
CALCIUM, SERUM
TSH (THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE)
CBC (COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT) WITHOUT DIFFERENTIAL
VITAMIN D, 25-HYDROXY
will share my before and afters when i have them...
@marsupial_panther: thanks for the photos suggestion, I have added it in to the OP. Great that you had so many stats before starting. As for your starting photos, it's either put the 8lbs back on or borrow a fat suit...
