3 months...
Well, I decided after my nasty BP reading to start this diet on Dec 31. Had been experimenting and reading about IF, after seeing the Horizon programme but with moving house and all the building work prior, not been able to concentrate properly.
Now 3 months in, very happy I did this. Did ADF to take any element of choice away and to eat more basically. Had a bit of a slow start until OH pointed out a pound = 3600 cals and I was only really restricting that amount of cals a week, so it was going to be slow.

Now down to the lightest I've been since 2001. Which is amazing, feeling strong and energetic. Was silly and attempted a forward roll at the warm-up last Wed and crunched my neck. Been sorted out by a good physio but less exercise for a couple of days. Couldn't do them when I was four, can't do them now...
I've decided from constant reading of the forum that there are various schools of thought about this diet, dependent on what people have done previously and how much control they want to feel. Rapidly coming to the conclusion that the path to weightloss is living in the minute, listening to the body and being mindful of food. Angsting really doesn't work and I think hinders progress...
