Update and encouragement

No-S, for those who want to lose weight, can seem slow at times, but looking back it is startling how quickly all that weight went. It's like watching grass growing - you don't see anything if you keep looking, but turn your back for a couple of days and it's over your waist and the landlord is getting grumpy.

I had a few "slow" months (really readjustment months, I suspect, I didn't gain weight and my clothes got a bit looser) and now I'm down again. In fact, on Saturday morning I was a clear 95kg, and that was after starting the S-day at twilight on Friday

That's 15 kg (30/33 pounds) since June/July last year, and something like three dress sizes.

In retrospect, that is a lot of weight loss in less than a year - certainly more than I'd lost in the 25 previous years

And I know that in a few more months I'll look back with the same feeling of mild elation, knowing its a path I would never have gone down on a conventional diet.

I may even start exercising

Silverfish, Congratulations!!!!! I love to hear success stories. Knowing that there are more people out there who kept it up long enough to see great results (even with the "readjustment" time) anchors my resolve. Thanks for sharing your success!

Congratulations! And thank you for posting this, silverfish.

A lot of people have been having trouble gaining that initial traction recently, and as juniebumble points out, a story like this is better inspiration than any "do this, do that" advice.
