It's hard to believe I've hit the 50 day mark already. I'm down almost 30 pounds in 50 days. Wow - that's more than 1/2 a pound a day!!! (.6 to be exact) When I think of it that way, it's a huge weight loss in a really short amount of time.
I am so excited today about how far I've come in the past 50 days. I am dropping weight at an almost insane speed and I still feel great. For the most part, I'm not tired or hungry. Sure, there are times where I don't feel great - but isn't that the case for everyone. Overall I would say I feel better now than I did before I started the modified fast.
I do still crave "real" food, but I think that would be the same for just about anyone who is in my position. As I mentioned in Monday's post, I did have some real food this week, but I am going to try even harder to avoid doing that again. This diet is tough enough to stick to as it is ... I don't want to be on it any longer than I have to.
I also am thinking about trying to drop my goal weight a bit. I have heard from people who have been on the program before that I should plan on gaining back about 10-15 pounds pretty quickly once I begin eating normally again. I figure if I shoot for 165-170 instead of 175-180 I might be able to reach my ultimate goal and keep it there. If I can stay around 180 ... I would be thrilled!
My goal to reach 50 pounds by the new year might be a little off base, but I think I could reach 45 pounds. That's 34 days from now and if I lose .5 pounds (which is slightly less than I have been averaging) I should lost 17 pounds by January 1. Factoring in a bad week (or two!) ... I figure 15 pounds (or 3 pounds a week) might be more realistic.
