I have lost 40 pounds in the last couple of years from 235 pounds to 209 last winter to a steady 190-195 lbs the last year.
I was having issue with my blood pressure and recently went on a water fast for about 10 days. It was the first time I had fasted with only water, but had read studies on line about how a 10-14 day fast helps greatly with BP.
My blood pressure has went from the 150/90's to 100-110's/70's.
During my water fast, I also dropped about 2 lbs a day. I lost a total of 19 lbs.
I was in the 170's and felt so good-- then the weight came back, as quickly as it had went off. (I have juice fasted before and I have been able to keep some of the weight off.)
So here I am.
Back in the 190's and feeling a little disgruntled with myself this afternoon.
I have been eating a clean diet since the fast. My carb intake has been less than 100 g a day and no more than 1400 calories a day. I also started up Zumba again this week.
I am assuming my body my is readjusting after the fast and is holding onto extra fluids.
Trying to keep my chin up. (Feeling sorry for myself today!)
But I am determined to persevere and get back into the 17o's this year.
Looking for support and encouragement.
The best to you all. Looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish this year.
Blessings, Rose
