Answer
Down 9 kilograms, 20 pounds so far. 12/40 days done. Honestly if I donβt feel hungry by 40 days I may push a few more days out to see if I can get closer to my goal. Haha had to use a different belt today as I was at the last notch of a belt only 3 weeks ago I was on the first notch of. Thanks for the advice here and good luck to others in the same boat.
