Someone asked me that question the other day and to be honest I don't have an exact number in mind. I've been so fat for so long that I have a hard time visualizing what would be a 'healthy' weight but when I get there I'll probably know. I used to be very self conscious of my body back in the day when I was young and worked out in my early 20's. My girlfriend (now wife) took a pick of me once in a rare moment without a shirt at home when I exited the bathroom. I was embarrassed by it because I thought I was fat at the time. When I see it now I would pay handsomely to look like that again today. I worked out regularly and was active in addition so I was about 215lbs & about 10% body fat give or take (since methods weren't terribly accurate) and was strong. So, if I was forced to pick a number that would probably be it. I'm not sure how that would 'wear' today though since my muscle mass wouldn't be what it was then probably. I don't know. I'm hoping to lose about 20lbs this fast, take a couple of weeks off and then do another two-week fast before our trip to Hawaii. I guess if I just go by the #'s of what I expect (hope) to lose on these fasts coupled with what I've done so far that would put me at around 220lbs. How realistic that is I just don't know because I can only assume that as I got lower in weight the weight loss will be more difficult to come by so to be honest if I'm anywhere near 230-240lbs I think I would consider that a success since 240lbs would be a loss of 50lbs since only a few months ago. That isn't my ultimate goal but it's a great start and my healthier lifestyle is going to help me continue losing but as of right now I've got a more short-term goal to cut as much as possible for our trip to Hawaii. I'm sick of all the warm climate places we travel to (Miami, Cancun, SoCal, etc) and I don't want to hang out and enjoy it in the sun on the beach and such. I really just want to be able to take off my shirt while we're in Hawaii w/o feeling like a bloated wale that encompasses all that's wrong with this nation.
Does that answer your question? lol
