The FastDay Forum

Both myself and partner are entering our 9th week of 5/2. We have both reached one stone off (sooo happy)

We don't live together but encourage each other through the fast days which are becoming easier now. Only one day was hell, with HUGE hunger pains around mid term, but those words of comfort, its only one day, we can eat tomorrow, are enough to keep going.

I am really pleased with the effect 5/2 is having on our outlook of food. I prefer to feel a bit hungry before meals now. I ask myself, do I really need that much on the plate and often take a bit off like a potato (unheard of before 5/2!).

Veg, fruit & salad are on the increase. For the first time in our lives, we feel in control of the food, not the other way round.

Still a way to go.... but its a start

Hi:

WTG! Here is what is to come: 5-2-diet-chat-f6/topic6491.html

Good Luck!

That's great, well done!

Fab great to hear success stories, can't wait to reach my first stone. Keep going, onwards is downwards....or something like that!

Well done What a great start.

Hi and Well done to both of you on reaching your 1st milestone
I know how that feels and now you both have the motivation to take you to your 2nd milestone Good Luck Sue

Well done to both of you. Here's to your next milestone being reached and your continued success on 5:2

Congrats to you both!

I'm Gill's partner, and need to say thank you, to all of you, for the encouragement and congrats on the milestone.

I know I don't post here, but lurk, and get encouragement from a lot of the posts here.

I've still got quite a way to go, but I didn't put it on over one weekend, so I will happily give it a year to drift off steadily.

Feeling generally healthier, and enjoying my food more, is more important than the weight loss though.

Cheers

John
