angie,
I have been doing the full fast since Monday - now I am doing this of my own free will and I did not go to the doctor for supervision (which MF urges you to do); however, I felt that I could do this for 3 days and then go back to the 5/1 for the rest of the week. I just wanted to try something different to see if it would shake my body out of its complacency. It appears that it did

.
I had originally planned on doing a whole week but figured I probably shouldn't really do that if I wasn't closely under a doctor's care. So I opted for the 3 days. I also plan on doing meals differently when I return to 5/1 plan tomorrow. You know, different foods at different times and maybe 2 shakes for 2 of my five meals instead of one. I was going to stop my bars but I CANNOT do that!!! I so look forward to them at 2:30 with a cup of coffee or tea.
Anyway, that was what I did and it did seem to work. We shall see...I have 2 pounds to go for my mini goal of 40 pounds down by Sunday. You will all hear about it if I do it - I guarantee that!!!!
