The FastDay Forum

I started 5:2 on July 11, 2013. I had been weighed at the Dr's office the day before .

I had another appt today and was weighed again July 29, 2013

So..... 19 days / 6 fasts later..

I am down 9 pounds

Pretty happy about it, and seems this is a sustainable way to eat. I know I won't always lose at that rate, but it's a good start and a good motivator.

Had a good fast day yesterday, and today I can EAT!

That's fantastic! Congratulations!!

Wow! What a brilliant start Well done to you.

Well done

Congratulations! What a great start

Well done great start !!

Thanks! Im pretty pleased. Just have to keep telling myself the loss WILL slow down, but if I can stay with it, even with the average of 1 pound a week, the whole point is staying WITH it., This whole idea is so different than anything I have ever done, Im hopeful it is just the thing I needed!

1 pound a week is 50 pounds or so for the year... if I can do that, while drinking my wine, and eating my ice cream, and dining out with friends, and have my 2 honest fast days a week, life could be good!

well done dianehelen that's a brilliant start. Sue

Congrats Dianehelen. Don't forget to take some measurements as they can be very reassuring when the scale gets stubborn (very common around the 3rd week mark).

Woo hoo go diannehelen, well done

That's awesome, dianehelen. I agree about measuring-- it can be reassuring when/if the scales stop moving and, importantly, height to waist ratio is a better indicator of health than BMI

That's brilliant! What a great start!

bet your doctor was impressed! keep up the great work

Thanks every one. I am really encouraged

Boy, it feels so good to eat after the fast day, everything is just soooo good hehe

Woohoo fantastic result, well done!
