The FastDay Forum

Finally after nine months a friend I hadnt seen for a while said those magic words. She was helping me choose a new rather figure-hugging dress and noticed the difference.

To anyone doubting that 5:2 will work, just keep going. I have lost a pound a month for every month on average. Looking at a kilo bag of sugar times four and realising thats the weight lost is a good feeling.

Sweet moment. Yes, just keep going. I can pick up a 5kg bag of flour and think, OMG what a weight I have lost!

That's wonderful Jazzbird. Finally! What a great feeling!

Those four little words that mean so much!
So pleased for you Jazz
Last week - 3 weeks into 5:2 - two people both said to meYou look different in a puzzled way..
( hopefully different = slimmer hehe! )

Great feeling jazzbird
You've done so well and that's your payback Sue.

Good for you Jazzbird! It's great to hear those words isn't it?
I hadn't seen one of my sons in a few months even though we talk on the phone and I kept telling him I was losing weight but when he saw me he said "wow Ma your getting skinny" It was music to my ears.

Congratulations Jazzbird!

I imagine how nice was to hear it! Did you reach your goal already - your BMI is so low(I am envious!)

That must feel amazing. No wonder your forum avatar/picture is so smiley

The day after someone commented to you, Jazzbird, finally after 6 months of 5:2 somebody else (husband was the first, am relieved to say) noticed I look thinner. Made me feel a little better about this plateau I'm stuck on. Are people in general unobservant? Or do they think they might offend you by commenting? Or do I just really look the same as I did 16 pounds heavier? Can anyone answer these questions?

Well done and its really good isn't it when others start to comment, also to look and lift up what you have lost in concrete form
