The FastDay Forum

OMG I am so excited. I lost 7 pounds my first week doing the 5/2 fast diet. i only did 2 days of 500 calories each, but i was very conscious of what i ate the other days and cut out all needless snacking.

I know most of it is probably water loss but i feel so much better already. I am very happy with the starting results. I know I won't get those same kinds of results in the future and shouldn't (I hear loosing more then 2 lbs per weeks is bad for the body, not sure if that's true). I am am so excited!!!

I am fasting on mondays and wednesday, and possbily on fridays (only if i don't have social plans)

Well done Dazzlecat - that's an excellent kick start to a new WOL!

What a wonderful start to this way of life. It really does give you a boost losing a big amount in the first week.

Wow, Dazzlecat, well done!! What a great start, I'm so happy for you. I bet you couldn't believe your eyes when you weighed yourself. Well keep on doing what you're doing as it sounds like it's the right thing. Good luck.

That's flippin marvelous! That's just the kind of motivating news us newbies need. Can I ask how much you have to lose?

Incredible! Don't give up even if you see no difference in the next couple of weeks

Hi Emma,
My starting goal was 30 lbs. to lose. I just weighed in today and am at 155. (so now I have 20 more to lose.) I am 1/3 of the way there and its only been 3 weeks since i started. What a great diet.

My encouragement for everyone is: Just stick to the 2 day calorie restriction and you WIll lose the weight.

I've been doing this for 2 weeks now and I've lost a total of 9 lb according to my scales! I'm sure they're not the most accurate, and as you say most of it must be water, but it's very encouraging. I have a wedding to go to in a fortnight and I'd like to fit into a dress I wore last year - I tried it on a while ago and couldn't do it up, so I'm waiting another week or so till I try again...
