I think you found an area where Fast 5 shines: ''not having to think about eating ... meals a day or calorie counting every bite...''
That's the part I find suits me. I can just shut my mouth and it is easier when one is busy.
But I need help.
Anyone got a comment or helpful idea about that 'plateau', when you check the scales and there is no loss? And no reason to not have lost more weight? I've happily lost a pound a week for several months. I feel great and my clothes are fitting much better. I do have a bit of semi-skimmed milk in my 'just one' coffee I have every morning but, no pounds have been shed in the last two weeks! Grrrrr
Ideas please?

Thanks so much for telling me about the private Facebook, I'll definitely join that today. I think I'll take your advice about waiting 3 weeks before weighing in. I never understood the "loosing inches before pounds" idea until you explained it, that makes a lot of sense now.
Every day is different for me as far as how difficult it is. Some days I'm not bothered at all by my fasting period and others I keep looking at the clock, stomach churning. I realized today that I might be "hungrier" on the days when I'm less busy. I've always used food as entertainment, so this diet is wonderful because it's really making me aware of exactly what triggers my bad eating habits. When I'm really busy at work not only am I not as hungry, I'm thankful that I don't have to worry about stopping my day to eat and then inevitably feeling sluggish afterwards. Diets have always been far more mental than physical for me (as I think they are for most people) but none has really given me the time to explore my psychological relationship with food. Because for 19 hours I'm not having to think about eating 6 small meals a day or calorie counting every bite I put in my mouth I'm free to really get in touch with my brain and food.
