The FastDay Forum

I joined the forum exactly a year ago - just saw that.
I was already well along in my 5:2 journey, having started in March '13. I was doing well on my own, and for me, the forum has been more about having a chance to be social about my fasting life than about needing support to do the fasts. I didn't tell any real life people about my 5:2 WOL till they started noticing I'd lost weight. That was many months after I began fasting. So lots of the community here really feel like my friends now, despite the fact that I'm not likely to meet any of you in person, living as I do on the "wrong" continent.

Interestingly, this year as I pursue the elusive goal of getting fit, I am finding that I need the support of the runners, Couch25K-ers, fitbitters, and all the active people on the forum, in order to keep up my progress.

Thanks, @Moogie, for all you've done for all of us. Thanks to my friends and supporters here. I hope you know who you are, and that I really appreciate you. If I were to start naming you, I'd probably leave someone out, and feel badly about it.

To those of you who aren't "there" yet, I'm cheering for you. I know you can do it, and I enjoy reading your reports, no matter how minor the progress.

Good job getting to your goal @wendyjane and good luck with getting fit this year. I am sure you will get there. Thanks for the motivation to keep going, it helps.

I couldn't agree with you more @wendyjane. The forum has been an amazing place. I did join it because I needed the support with fasting but it soon became apparent that I'd made friends and have even met up with some. I am still chasing that last 7lbs but one thing is for sure I'd be back where I started if it wasn't for the people on here!

Happy forumversary!! I'm sure you'll reach your fitness goals just as you reached your weight goals

Happy fastiversary and congrats on meeting your goal! Pity we don't live closer, it would be fun to do a meet up! In the meantime, take care and keep posting!

Lovely post @wendyjane - and big congrats on your Fastiversary!

I think you have summed up this forum & the people on it so well and I completely agree with you. It is all things to all people...and it allows us all to be both needy and helpful in equal measure.

Best of luck with year 2 - I'm sure it will go brilliantly for you!
