Week two challenge check in - 5 kilos weigth loss in 20 days. I actually started my own challenge, August 12, after a random weigh in showed a BMI 28, triggered some motivation to reach for that BMI < 25, which will be a normal BMI for the first time in 30 years, probably.
I have very gradually losing weight over two years just from eating clean, watching the carbs, letting go of the refined sugars, flours, refined grains, etc. Letting go of the high starchy foods. Going mostly organic. Recently, after reading Mark Hyman's book, Food - What The Heck Should I Eat, I have reduced dairy, milk, no cheese, no butter.
Not really a crash calorie deficit dieter, but the Clean Eating has done some incredible things, including gradual weight loss. My strategy to 2 - 3 pound loss per week, create at least a 500 cal deficit by taking my Cycling up a notch or two, riding about 200 mi. per week, which is creating more like a 1000 - 1200 cal deficit each day. I'm purposefully not weighing in again until the end of my plan, September 16, but I can tell that I should have that last 13 pounds to make it to 172, because my pants and belt have loosened up considerably.
