Donn thanks for the reply. im very excited to get started on this fast as i have never in my life been health conscious. im 26 years old 5'9" and weight 198.5lbs. in my younger years ive always been overweight and understood it was from the bad things i ate. ive tried diets but they last a whole 2 days. what attracts me to fasting is all of the benefits is has on the inside of my body and the weight loss is definetly a huge plus and i think the benefits will definetly keep me on track. i will be starting my daily tracking tomorrow as to how i feel and what not but have chosen only to weight myself at the half way mark and then on the 30th day.
