Congratulations, @cblasz, that's is a good weight loss in nine weeks. Just keep it going and you will get there! I managed to lose one pound this week - making a total of 6.4 pounds since I started in earnest on the 21st January - but then this morning the scales showed a regain of 1.4 pounds!
I accept that I did eat an
excessive number of biscuits yesterday (about 10 shortbread and chocolate covered oatmeal) and
two pieces of date and walnut cake on Saturday but I am sure that after todays fast day it will return to normal. It's just retained water weight and, hopefully, will go as quickly as it came!
in answer to your question - yes i am a reader but have been kept busy with paperwork for the several Committees that I am secretary for. However, I am giving them all up by the end of this month and so i am planning a lot more reading in my life!
I look forward to seeing more of your stats and reading the narrative of your fasting life! Valerie
