The FastDay Forum

Yes, a year ago I decided on the 5 2 way of life and joined here on 25 January.
My stats speak for themselves, but so does my stomach - sometimes, it spoke very loudly, above the clamour of my mind calling for sense!

Not any more! After a year, I think I have things pretty much bob on.
Let me check:

Stomach: no longer rules the roost, but neither does it feel totally ignored.

Mind: pretty much in control and happy with day to day life

Body: can do things it couldn't a year ago.

Self esteem: pretty much a 100% improvement.

So, I'd say to anyone, 'yes, it's sustainable, but see it through. If you're anything like me, you'll have ups/downs/plateaus, but don't become disheartened. One day, it may be one year, it may be two, you'll succeed.'

And then you'll really thank yourself! Just realised I have lost 25% of my start body weight!!!

Wow PFT
22:22 kgs shed!
Respec' ! xxxx

Yes, it is sustainable, and that is probably one of the best things about it. Even so: it does take some moments of 'willpower' and you can feel proud you have shown that you 'have what it takes'.

What an inspiring post. Congratulations from me on a year of successful 5:2ing x

@PennyForthem - think your next pet purchase should be ....

4 little ducks - 22.22

A very inspiring post- for us old- timers, as well as newbies, and in-betweenies

Fab post PennyForthem - and completely true! It does wonders for one's self esteem - I'm still overweight but I feel 'normal sized' for the first time in years

Well done,and thanks for the encouragement.

Nice post and congratulations on the result. and sharing it with us

Sure is sustainable
sure is easy (may not seem that way to the novice but it is, as 5 times a week you enjoy what you normally like to eat)

what are you planning on your fastiversary Penny?

Well said PFT and well done. What a year!
