Weight loss target: -3.5 stone in 5 months

[FoxEye]

How much have you lost so far?

Not even completed two weeks yet; it's much, much, much too early to weigh myself. Weighing too often has a negative effect on my morale. Need to see tangible gains (losses) to stay motivated.

I told myself when I started I would only weigh myself once a month.

e: I should also add... as expected, feeling super grumpy most of the time, due to not eating. Also feeling incredibly tired a lot of the time.

I'm not advocating this as a good way for people to lose weight; it just happens to work for me, because I'm too simple to count calories and get it right

Mini milestone tonight. Completed two weeks.

Played 60 mins of football on an empty stomach after 26 hours of fasting... that was fun Never wanted the game to end so much as I did tonight

e: Ooof, muscles ache like mad today. Like I'd done 30 seconds of cross-fit or something

Hmm. Leg muscles continue to ache ever since Tuesday's football - this is not normal. Been told its lack of protein and body not being able to repair the muscles. Annoying but not life threatening. Diet must prevail

this - protein is required to help rebuild/repair your muscles. But as the OP has already pointed out - he's doing it his way by starving himself so I don't think it matters what anyone says.

Just for the first month it doesn't matter what anyone says. I'm doing ADF for science

After we see how progress has been like at the end of the 4th week - and I get to weigh myself then - I will be happy to try something different, and compare results.

This first month is sort of my "control" month. I'm doing something I've done before, but doing it properly (with no snacks!), and using it as a benchmark.

I think you'll find I make threads for pretty much the same reason everyone else does. Why you have to single me out for criticism I have no idea.

But if people think this thread serves no purpose and is just attention whoring then by all means a mod should close it. Tbh RoboCod I'm getting pretty sick of being the one singled out for criticism on these boards. I'll think twice about posting anything here in future.
