Hi, Melanie:
Today is day 2-1/2 for me (I started the INSTANT I made the decision, which was in the middle of the day on Sunday) and people do look at you funny when they here you are going to fast. They think fasting equals no eating. Since there is maple syrup, we are getting calories. I had a terrible headache today and did cave and have some coffee (which made my headache disappear in a flash) but I feel light (but not light headed) and very, very good. I didn't weigh myself before I started (I am in the 230 range) because I didn't want to get into a time and mileage statistic thing. But it is obvious to me that I'm changing, as I was able to zip up my jeans STRAIGHT OUT OF THE DRYER without any problem whatsoever. I'm at work now and things are sort of slow, so if you want to respond that would be great.
