Is it possible if I stay consistent? My cw is178 lbs and I need to be 118 by the end of Aug. I’m 5’2” f.
My biggest problem is that I’ll stick to fasting for 10-15 days and then go back to my old eating habits again.
I’ve BMI of 32 and i dont feel happy about it at all.
I’m studying full time and also have a toddler and most of the time when I eat something that I shouldn’t or break my fast it’s my daughter’s leftovers.
I want to make a lifestyle change and I want advice from people who have done fasting successfully for longer periods of time.
I’m thinking of eating one day at maintenance after water fasting for 48 hrs. That way I’m eating just 10 days out of 30 in a month. Does that make sense? Ive done all the math in my head but I’m not sure if it’ll work.
Please share your success stories for inspiration.
Can you lose 60lbs in 7 months? Maybe? Will you? I don’t know, no one can tell you that. We don’t know how your body works, how consistent you’re going to be, if you’re going to exercise and how and how often, what you’re going to eat, how you sleep, what your stress levels are… What is the point in asking, are you not gonna try when people tell you that you won’t shed all that weight in half a year? And if there are people who have had such rapid weight loss and yours turns out to be different, what then? You’re gonna be disappointed and give up?
You can create the most rigorous fasting plan and maybe that would lead to such weight loss but who says you’re going to stick with it? The more extreme the plan the less realistic your success.
I don’t see the point in these questions. Just start your jounrey and be realistic about it.
Yes. I started at 252lbs and am currently at 190lbs now and going for 170lbs. I started about 6 months ago. I would drop like 10lbs then take a week or 2 off and eat only to maintain then fast again. The days I fasted were never consistent. Sometimes it was 3 days, 6 days, 1 week, 10 days and the time off to maintain could last up to a month
