How long did it take you to get where you are? I just started and have similar weight and goal.

I can get to 203 pretty fast but then stop losing weight and it slowly creeps back up on me. After reading some of these post I'm going to stick with it this time.

I really started going hardcore diet after the New Year. So, it's been about 12 weeks. About 29.2 lbs lost so far. so, that equals 2.43 lbs lost per week, which fits right between the 2-3 lbs a week that I want to stay in. If I was losing more than 3 lbs a week, I'd probably start eating more protein. I've had weeks where I lost 0 and weeks where I lost 5 lbs. But, 2-3 lbs a week is a healthy goal.

What's this?

It is a fast recommended in the book Eat Stop Eat. It can be found here in pdf form. It essentially is a 24 hour fast. The kicker is that you start after dinner one night and then skip breakfast and lunch the next day, and eat dinner the following night. so, you have zero days of no meals. And, you have to do some type of resistance/weight training 3 times a week to avoid muscle loss.

For example, we normally eat dinner between 5-6 pm. So, I ate dinner at 5:30 Sunday night. I'll skip breakfast and lunch today (drinking only water, though black coffee and plain tea is allowed) and then eat dinner at 5:30 tonight. The big thing is to not gorge yourself coming off the fast.

Good luck to all the newcomers. Persevere and be strong this week.
