The FastDay Forum

Last Thursday (3rd July) saw me reach the second of my 5:2 goals....to look OK for my daughter’s graduation from Bath Uni.

32 weeks in and just over 50lbs down....so here’s a little pic.....

Apologies for the cankles.......it was late afternoon and I had just flung my lovely new heels into the boot as they were not too comfortable – so flatties were the way forward...even though it spoils the look somewhat!

We had a magical day...made all the better by not feeling ashamed of myself. Something strange has been happening to me since starting this WOL back in November – I think I am actually starting to quite like myself. Even a little pride too!
Hurrah for that.....I am really enjoying life right now.....even though I am nowhere near my ultimate goal yet!

Thanks to you all for your constant support & kindness xxx

I love this photo Hazel on so many levels!
First coz you look so great! Not only pretty and trim but dead firm too,no wobbly bits! Second coz its such a fun relaxed pic,you both look like youre having a great time! Also coz can see the the resemblance between you and DD,you are both so pretty.
What a great memory for you of such a proud day!well done DD and well done Hazel,you look sooooo close to yr own IF graduation! X

Awww...shucks @CandiceMarie.....you do say the nicest things! Thank you so so much

Only people who have faced/are facing similar struggles with their weight can truly understand the joy that wrestling back a little control brings. I so love this forum and the way we all rejoice in each others' successes and equally how we sympathise when the going gets tough.

I know I could bore for England about what 5:2 has done for me.....and with the best will in the world, my non-fasting friends in real life just can't fill the space that you all do!

This is priceless for me. Big hugs xxx

What a lovely, happy post!

You look amazing yes very happy and relaxed with life,
So glad you enjoyed the special day, those photographs on that day will now also be extra special, both for the occasion and thoughts of your 5:2 journey which by the look of things is almost over.
Well done and very proud of yourself you

You look lovely and congratulations to your daughter. I totally get the starting to like yourself thing.

Wow Hazelnut. You and your daughter should both be proud of yourselves and each other. Keep that feeling going.
