The FastDay Forum

I'm one of those people who "hopes for the best, but expects the worst." It's sort of cynical, I guess. Anyways, I started this more as an experiment, mostly to lose weight. Turns out, two months in and 9 lbs. gone. This is by far, the simplest way of eating to lose weight. 500 cal on fast days, I'm not counting cal on feast days, I drink wine, I barely exercise and still, I'm losing! I feel fine on fast days and though I wouldn't can't wait for them, the day after is a wonderful feeling that I DO look forward to. And to get on the scale every Fri and see another new and lower number is always a great way to start the weekend! I feel so different now in my way of thinking about food. I'm only beginning my journey here, I have another 20 lbs. I'd like to lose. So far, so good!

Congrats, sweetenough! Slightly over 50lbs later, I love this WOE, too! I'm glad it's working so well for you

That's fantastic! Congratulations!

Both of you are very inspiring. Thanks!

Happy to hear it's going so well for you Sweetenough! I totally agree with you that this is the easiest way to drop excess weight; I have been 5:2ing for nine months and it's definitely become a way if life for me now. Wishing you continued success!

Well done sweetenough that's a brilliant start
for you and the motivation to carry you forward Sue

Lovely introduction sweetenough, it seems that you've got "into the groove" at about 1lb a week it should continue to come off and stay off. Good luck

Fantastic stuff Sweetenough!!
