The FastDay Forum

Last winter I went shopping for a new wardrobe. I guess I accepted that I was fat and that was that. In the spring I learned of 5:2 and this forum. I never thought of myself as obese but numbers don't lie. When summer arrived I had to buy smaller jeans. Now it's fall and I am no longer obese! I am thrilled! This winter I will achieve my third goal of having a healthy BMI.

To any of the nay sayers out there I say weight loss can be achieved thru fasting. I am not the best faster some weeks but I have learned control. I have learned my personal boundries with food. The program is not the least bit difficult. I keep on losing and I am so happy. Hope you all are having a happy and healthy day

That is lovely Clairemarie x
The " O" word is horrid isnt it..very well done on achieving your second goal

Welcome to the Overweight club!

Wonderful news Clairemarie! You have done so well Happy shopping for your new autumn wardrobe

Thanks CandiceMarie, Betsy and Windsinger. I just wish this concept of weight loss/control was brought to the forefront along time ago. When I get to my third goal of a healthy BMI I will start my fourth goal of smoking cessation. I hope by then the control I have learned doing 5:2 will apply to that monster of a habit.

Well Done Claremarie.
Brilliant achievement and a fantastic goal for you reach
Good Luck to you down there with the other group I'm so envious of you but they do sound a nice lot though, on to the next goal Sue

Sue.Q you have done so well yourself! So no need to be envious. We started in different places. Just think back to when you just accepted the weight as your fate. And today you know different. And I would like to say that you are such a nice person so kind to all forum members. Keep up your good work. Perhaps the future will be a 5:2 forum for smokers?

What a wonderful achievement. Enjoy your shopping trip

and the same from me!!
