Going well for me, lost half a stone (well, just over at 8 pounds) since I started 3 weeks ago and lost half an inch off my waist.
And that includes two blow out days where I probably had well over 3000 calories. As I work on the road a bit, changing the days I fast is great for me. This week have done Wednesday and today, tend to wait until about 2-3pm and have the previously championed chicken or turkey stir fry at about 400-500 cals, plus a pint of water. Just tea (been on those fruit and herb teas, horrible stuff most of them, so back to normal tea) and water for the rest of the day.
If I'm still hungry that leaves around 100 cals to play about with at dinner, a banana or one shredded wheat with milk.
On non-fasting days I am trying to not go beyond 1500 cals, but if I do it's not the end of the world.
And, so far, no additional exercise, just diet changes. Though I will try to start introducing 40 mins a day cardio a couple of times a week once my back calms down and I'm off the pills.
Appreciate the support and input here too, wouldn't have started it unless I had read it on here. Would probably have dismissed it as another mad woman's quick fix summer diet.

Great work that mate at 3lbs a week whilst not adding exercise and still being able to have the odd blow out.
Hope your back mends soon as adding exericse will see your weight and waist size plummet.

Well played guys.
I have stopped losing now save the odd pound now and again. But that isn't my goal anymore.
