OK. I've lost weight. Fasting might be working, and when they say at first it's horrible (since your body gets used to eating even when it's not hungry) - believe them - it is horrible. It get's better.

In 9 days I've lost around 4~5 pounds. Not bad considering I haven't started the intense workouts that will give me the body of Thor or Wolverine yet. Those come later. I am now confident in my choice to take routine pictures of myself for the purpose of documenting my progress (also the later pictures will be in my calendar - preorder now!).
