9:25am Update

207.5 pounds

Yes!  Finally the day I have been expecting.  I know this early morning weight is dehydrated weight but I thought I should at least see consistent declines in my dehydrated weight.  I wasn't.  After 5 days of Daily Intermittent Fasting and one 24-Hour Fast, my weight was holding steady or increasing.  This weigh-in was the boost of motivation I needed.  I actually feel lighter and skinnier today.

I know I still have a long way to go to get to a skinny 175 or a muscled 185 but I'm on the right track!  Intermittent Fasting is a practice I think I can keep for the rest of my life.  I've been doing it in one form or another haphazardly.  Now with a little bit of research backed advice behind me, I can finally do it to maintain the healthy body I've always wanted.  I know returning to school in a week will provide challenges but I have a week to improve upon the process and cement it even further into my subconscious.

12:00pm Update

208.4 pounds

I haven't drank very much water this morning, not by choice, just got thrown off schedule by a poor nights sleep and then a couple impromptu projects I started doing, so my weight hasn't increased that much yet today.  

I was easily able to maintain my 16 hour fast since ending yesterday's 24 hour fast at 6pm and eating all my calories for the day before 8pm.  This is really encouraging.

4:00pm Update

211.4 pounds

I've eaten 590 calories at this point and drank 2+ liters of water so the weight is coming back on.  Four pounds since this morning is normal.  Can't complain.  Everything is on track.  As I'm reading more about autophagy, I'm really glad I started doing this.

210.4 pounds

We're looking good for tomorrow, I'm 3 pounds lighter than I have been at this time all during the week.  Stopped eating around 6pm.  Should be able to maintain an eighteen hour fast again.
