Well I did a 2 day fast, and proudly jumped on the scale the next day to find that I had lost .2 lb. I broke the fast and weighed myself the next morning and had lost 5 lbs. Doing the fast was easy, and I thought about continuing it for 3 days but I didn't want to overdo things. The fast helped me break the 200 barrier for the first time since 2009. I am thinking about fasting 2 days a week.
