That's 45 gone. I was doing so well then came National Ice Cream Day. I'm a patriot so I did my part. I've decided to start including decimals on my weigh-in since this might become a "game of ounces" at some point with the way Ches is ratcheting up his game. Coming up on an 18 year low at 222. As I consider my initial goal of 210, I think that arbitrary number was dumb. At 5'10", the CDC says I'm obese at 210 lbs. I have to get to 208 to be just "overweight". Anyway, first world problems, right? Yesterday, one of my boys said "Dad, that shirt's too big for you." Now if he'd just use a coaster, he'd be the perfect son.

Your numbers are so inspiring! Congratulations. So are you thinking about changing your goal weight? I read in the other Dr. Mosely book (The Eight Week Diet) that those folks who set seemingly unreasonable goals were found to be more likely to achieve them than the folks who were more modest. Dream big (about smaller sizes)!

You're right Mskestrela. It was random and off the cuff, but it did get me going. I've never been able to effect what feels like a permanent change until I found this plan, this site, and all MY PEOPLE. Yes Trackin, a new goal is forthcoming but not until I see green or maybe even blue. Settle down cowboy. Horse first, then cart . . . thank you all.

45 for me would be great. How long do you think it would take if I really tried?

Hey JAYMAINE100. I've been at this since April 11, so a little over 3 months. We're all so different but I do believe you have to log everything, every day. No exceptions, even the stuff you wish you didn't eat or drink. No shame, just the most useful tool for self evaluation ongoing! I eat 600 cals on Monday and Thursday. I don't really limit my calories on the other days but I seldom go over my RDI. That's a bit of a misnomer because my calories are limited by time. I eat between noon and 6 or 7 p.m. In effect, it's the 5:2 and the 16:8 together. It's hard at first and you will be hungry at times but you will adjust. I started with 5:2 and slowly added the 16:8 over 4 to 6 weeks. I'd shave a hour here and there off the front or the back and voila! You can do it!
