I've made up my own half-assed fasting as well but I'm still getting used to it so I'm sitting at 14 hours (nothing between 8pm and 10am except for coffee, which I can't quite give up). I drink flat whites so it's not 'proper' fasting but I figure it took a lot time to put the weight so it'll take a long time to adjust to losing it too. I'm using the Lose It app too, since it's got a heap of kiwi foods already loaded and it's not drowning in ads and subscriptions like MyFitnessPal.

15kg is a great effort! Did it take you long to stop feeling hungry?

My inial plan was to reduce food so I wasn't feeling full or hungry.

After starting to skip food in the mornig I remember a couple of weeks when I felt hungry in the morning, sometimes very. But I had my plan and stuck to it, drinking water or coffee when I felt hungry.

Eventually my body adjusted and now I feel full a lot sooner, and my body doesn't handle junk food quite so well. But I generally don't get hungry in the mornings. Interestingly if I eat in the morning (say, brunch), I'll feel hungry at that time the next day.
