Wow!!! Good for you! I have a friend who swears by fasting. He actually follows something called the Snake Diet (google it). He's on here as @deancarter. I love your profile description: "hurtle towards menopause"; I'm 52 and in the throws of it! I've always had to "watch" what I eat, exercise or I gain weight kind of thing, but suddenly I have a roll around my midsection that is near impossible to get rid of. I've been hoping for a #menopause on here to really start ranting haha Congratulations again; I hope you are very very proud of yourself! You should be!! Cheers!
