Note: Weighing in today at 242 pounds was a milestone. I started this regimen 50 days ago, weighing 282 pounds. Thus, I've now lost 40 pounds, an average daily weight loss of 0.80 pounds. Considering that I have taken 4 days off from the diet over the last 50 days, my average daily weight loss on the diet is even a bit higher. My expectation, though, is that my daily or weekly weight loss will start to slow dramatically, because my percentage of body fat has dropped substantially. In other words, the less fat you have, the harder it is to burn fat.
