DrLCH, I don't see any difference TBH.
I'm looking forward to seeing if I lose any weight this week - as I'm plateauing at the moment!
oh well only a few hours to go until dinner - chicken n veg stir fry with cauli "rice"
good luck everyone!!
I think I may have to start saving all my calories until the evening because I don't seem to become hungry until I've had my first meal at 12, although as I haven't tried this before I may find I still get ravenous from 12 onwards!
The thought of chicken noodle soup for my meal tonight isn't inspiring me much at the moment however I've definitely come too far through the day now to turn back!
Hope everyone else isn't having quite the struggle I am today xxx
Thanks StowgateResident, luckily my breakfast of a cherry bakewell alpen light bar, fresh raspberries and a vanilla yogurt, while not quite as good as a bar of choc was still yummy enough to be a treat. Tomorrow I may nip into Thorntons and buy one of their small bars - quality over quantity and it makes an even better reward!
I definitely think it's much easier to wait and eat at dinner time. I personally find it's a lot easier to control my hunger with a glass of iced tea or herbal tea if I haven't eaten yet today. If I have already eaten, my body gets much more insistent, and the hunger is just more intense!
I do still get hungry at about 3pm, but it's not as bad as if I eat breakfast or lunch.
Good luck!

Well that's some serious motivation isn't it !!!!!
Feeling pretty rotten now though - not hungry as such, just very low and with no energy, and a bit spaced out. I'm struggling today. Hopefully this will get easier as I don't want to feel like I lose all productivity and energy for 2 whole days every week. At least it's nearly dinner time....
Only 20h00, I ate my supper half an hour ago & it didn't touch the sides, normally it's too much for me so I really don't understand (WW coley in sauce provençale, with spinach & zero noodles).
I will not cave in so late in the day, but I'm thinking bed at 22h is about as far as I'll be able to push it.
Shame, this really is the first time that I've struggled (23 fasts in 12 weeks)

Yes!!!!! I get crazy cravings and oh so hungry.
I am a little tense and nervous about weighing in even though it isn't until the weekend after next. I lost a measly pound and a half last month and I don't feel or see any difference yet, but I do have massive amounts to lose so that could be the reason.
