One week has passed since I’ve started the diet mission, and almost two weeks since I’ve started my dieting in general, my results are going very well so far, and I’m very pleased and motivated, I have lost 5 KGs in the last 15 days, two of them since I’ve joined the contest.
This post is my first week report so I’ll include my numbers to document my progress. As I have mentioned, last week I’ve lost 2 Kilograms, and I’m really satisfied about that, if I can continue this way things will be much better than my expectations:
Current weight: 100KG =~ 220 pounds
Lost: 2KG =~ 4.8 pounds (7.4% of the target)
Still to go: 25KG =~ 55 pounds
I still have a long way to go, but I have enough confidence and motive to do it. Reading Mike’s Weighing in for week 1 reminded me of setting a target date, so I’ve decided to set it to October 1st, 15 weeks from now, with a target loss of 1.6 KG =~ 3.52 pounds every week, not so easy to do, but really worth doing, I’ll be posting updates here on weekly basis, so keep track if you are interested.
Diet Math
Now let me brief you how I’ve spent the last week and how I could accomplish this so far, I have just did the required math:
- I used to eat what worth over 4000 Kcal before the diet.
- A normal human being needs approximately 2200 Kcal.
- To maintain the weight I have right now I should eat what worth 2200 Kcal only.
So obviously if I want to lose weight I have to eat less, and so I did, I’m having now a daily fuel that worth 600-700 Kcal only, I faced a horrible few days at the beginning, but now things are much better.
I’m trying to eat all what my body needs with these few calories I’m getting everyday, tuna fish, some noodles and a lot of salads, now my stomach got smaller and I’m feeling stuffed very early (naturally this depends on the meal I’m having), I’m trying to avoid seeing any chocolate or ice cream though..
Plus and Minus
I award myself every weekend with a meal that I love and enjoy, and most importantly eat without thinking about any diet or calories, now as my needs got lesser, even if I wanted to eat more I won’t be able to, and will feel stuffed sooner.
Finally I have to admit the thing I’m doing wrong, or let’s say the thing I’m not doing, and unfortunately not willing to do it right now, EXERCISE. I’m not doing any kind of exercise that worth mentioning, I can say that I’m walking more nowadays, but this is not what’s called exercise. As I’m not willing to do any exercise at the moment I’m trying not to eat the amount that I would burn by exercising, at least until I change my mind and move my sleeping muscles.
I hope everybody else in the contest are doing well with their diet, together we can achieve our goals with the great motive we are exchanging between each other.

Well done on the 2KG loss this week. I haven’t done the exercise thing either — at least not yet.
Keep up the good work.

[...] Compared to Week 1 I’m a little behind schedule, I have lost 1KG only this week, and it was much more difficult than the last week, the first two days of the week were fine, followed by my every week prize meal and then the bad days started, but what cheers me up is the little progress I have done even if it is a little less than planned.

iam over wight with 40 klg and iam 18years old mu high is 1.68 i have tryed alot of diet but i never countinued doing it . what can i do?

@haydi, the most difficult part of the diet is not seeing results, once I start seeing my weight drops I got enough motive to continue, I’m still on diet, it’s almost 4 months now, I took few breaks for a week or two maximum.
Try to start at least for the first week with a hard diet, you will lose a min of 2 KG, take a day off and then start the second week with a regular diet. Don’t expect much from your diet, if you lose 3-4 KG every months that’s really good and enough to keep you going. Wish you all the luck with your diet and please wish me the same :)
