Man what a journey it’s been. I’ve lost 85 lbs, gone down 3 shirt and 6 pants sizes, ran my first 5k race and all while Alternate Day Fasting.

Thank you to everyone who has been following along and keeping track of my progress. Thank you to everyone who gave encouraging words and especially thank you to the ‘locked in ADF’ accountability chat group!

What are my plans moving forward? I’m sticking with ADF a little longer just without a goal weight in mind. My main focus now is just getting rid of my belly fat and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I refuse to end up back where I was especially after I put so much work to get here.

I proved to myself I can do hard things and I want to encourage anyone who reads this to prove the same to themselves.

20 weeks. Feels like forever and nothing at the same time.

Only seven pounds away from my goal! I will keep going after I reach it but man does it feel good to be so close to achieving something.

I finally got rid of all my 2XL shirts and 36” waist pants and Im slowly buying all mediums and 33” waist pants.

This week I had to go to the office for the first time in close to a year. One of my closest coworkers asked another coworker if I was a new guy on the team because he didn’t recognize me.

I’m feeling great and still making progress towards my goal. Also my first ever 5k is on Monday, wish me luck! 🤞

I have no clue how I lost 10 pounds this week. I’m assuming it’s mostly water weight because I’ve been doing a lot of physical activity and sweating a ton. I can’t complain though because I absolutely smashed through 200!!!

I’m feeling great and I’m almost to my goal weight! I’ll be continuing ADF past that but it’s exciting to almost reach my goal.

Just wanted to share my milestone with you all! I’m down 67 lbs since I got started on ADF in May. Thanks for all the support from this community!

I started running this week! I never thought I’d enjoy running but here I am, running for fun for the first time in my 30s. I even signed up for a 5k that’s in 3 weeks 😅 but both times I ran this week was a distance of 3.25 miles and I did both with no stops or walking. I’m actually looking forward to running later today as well!

Last time I weighed this much was in high school.

I cannot believe I just broke past the 220’s! It honestly feels kind of surreal. But I’m so proud of myself for putting in the hard work and sticking to it!

200 here I come!!!!

The scale is finally moving again! Thank god 😅

It was kind of discouraging not seeing it move. This week I said I’ll be damned if I don’t make any progress.

20k steps every day
Squats, crunches, pushups every day
Weights 3-4 times a week
Rollerblading 4-5 times a week
And 1500 cal feed days.

The hard work is paying off!!

It seems I’ve hit my first plateau this week. But I’m not giving up! If the scale doesn’t move next week I’ll change up my strategy.

I’ve never been so happy to see a number on a scale! I can’t believe I reached the 220’s!!! Feeling super motivated to lose the next 10 lbs!

Happy Independence Day weekend to all my fellow Americans.
