After seeing the weight drop off my work colleagues over the past year, and keeping it off I am inspired. I am generally healthy and active, so also look forward to seeing the health benefits, so far day one has been fine. Well done to all of you, I’m hoping by joining this forum and reading all your success stories that I will continue to be inspired and motivated. Now to browse pescatarian recipes.

Me, too! I’ve been listening to stories of this diet, and finally decided to start today. So far, not so bad. I, too, have been helped by reading the forums, especially the encouraging ones when people are craving food in the afternoon. (It’s 1:30 PM here in NYC, and I’ve just skipped lunch and am sipping some red bush tea.) Looking forward to salmon, veggies, and a salad tonight. Diane Rehm cheated with two glasses of champagne each night of her fast, and still lost loads of weight. . . . don’t think I’ll try that, though.

Actually, I had read the Warnings already this morning, and just reread them. Thank you, again, for the advice, and the reminder (the leitmotif of the warnings, it seems) to be patient.

Thanks for the welcome and the useful link – yesterday was fine, even went to the gym, feeling proud today.
@hopeful – my partner is very skinny so it does make it harder, and we both enjoy wine, hmmm tonight I can have a glass.
