The FastDay Forum

Just wanted to report that after just one week, I have now lost 3lb . This is brilliant for me as usually I go at about half a lb a week . I expect it'll slow down a bit, but still encouraging.

Unfortunately felt very ill for the last four hours or so of my second fast, and in a lot of pain the day after as well , but it could well be totally unrelated, so I am persisting in the hope it will get better. And I desperately want to get into that size 12 dress, and for this not to be yet another failed attempt, because I think then I would give up altogether . Persist, persist, persist...

I hope your fasts are going well, and the weight is melting off you with very little effort

Well done and I think the discomfort is nothing to do with 5:2, hope not! Keep going as it a lose, lose situation,

Congrats! i've been on the diet for 3 weeks and have lost 10 lbs (started at 166 lbs. and am now down to 155.5 lbs. So stick with it and you will lose the weight. my first week i did it i had headaches both diet days. i started drinking a lot more water and those have stopped. hopefully your ill feelings aren't related to the diet. keep us posted please.

Hello, thanks both of you . I weighed in today and have lost another 1lb I am very happy about this, and trying not to think about how many, many more I have to go . But the point is, I think I can keep this one up, which means I should get there in the end

Congrats! Hope you feel better on your next fast day!
