Enjoy your fast day!! I honestly look forward to mine...It gives me extra motivation to find filling, low calorie meals.  

Morning BP. Thanks for suggestions re adding some more LC veggies/fruit. I don't know what this old body needs. I'm basically 1200 cals or less a day so something should be shaking lose :) Sorry you didn't see a loss but no doubt you will tomorrow. 

Hi BP, yes I record everything that goes in my mouth. I do have a high fat content most days, about 50-60% but low carbers are supposed to be able to tolerate high fats? It is true though that I started to lose more when I wasn't taking the oil? Perhaps I will give it up for a few days and see what happens. I do believe it is not calories in, calories, out, that the type of calories matter, but I don't eat a lot of other fat and thought I was doing the right thing by having a good fat. Sheesh, always something :) 

Just took a look at my diet calender and I haven't hit 1200 calories but once in the last 8 or 9 days. So perhaps I am 'starving' and don't know it? By the little I've eaten, about 1000 calories a day or less, I should be at goal by now :) I better go eat something soon! LOL 

Thanks BP, I had read that too but I think that's for 'younger' women shall we say but I agree 1200 or less is nuts. I haven't been trying to be that low, I have just in the flow of IF and don't tend to eat until the evening meal. I do have a protein bar most lunch times, one with no added fillers and crap, so that is why the calories are trending downwards. So guess I have permission to eat! I will definitely have breakfast tomorrow - yahoo - McDonald's here I come, love their sausage McMuffin's. I will even eat the McMuffin part :) Thanks Bill, I do know all this myself, just scared to do anything that might stall this weight loss. I'm going on vacay soon and want to lose as possible before I go. But even if I end up staying at 189 that would be okay - just no higher! :)
