I challenge myself only
Toughest one of all
My goal is 12st5lb->11st7lb and I am now 2lb from that
Now aiming for 11st
I have no target date - I want to lose the weight slow and steady
Initial weight loss is mainly glycogen, with is bound to water. So early weightloss is rapid
Weightloss slows down after that initial burst and you are then trying to shed fat only. Fat is not bound to water molecules and that's why it is slower as you go on
Any rapid loss at this stage will probably be down to an unsustainable diet of some kind
Better to change your lifestyle and accept you may only lose 1/2lb a week. Patience will be rewarded by alonger lasting result
(I had the norovirus this year and lost 8lb in two days. It was all water and returned instantly)
