The FastDay Forum

Well I'm delighted to say that thanks to 5:2 I have sucessfully reached my goal of 9st 12, down from 11 stone where I was at Christmas. I actually reached goal weight about 7 weeks ago, completely gave up fasting, and weighing myself this morning I'm very happy to see that I've maintained at 9st 12!

I feel so much better about myself, I'm way more body confident which I think is helping me acheive more at work because I'm in a good mood and feeling positive all the time! Hubby has lost over a stone aswell and we just can't keep our hands off each other (Anyone else noticing this added side effect?).

This way of eating has changed my life for the better and I would never have stuck to it without the support of this forum. So thankyou to everyone! It was a bit of a hard slog at times but so worth it. I feel like I have this wonderful tool under my belt now for managing my weight. As I am maintaining so well without fasting I am just going to carry on like this for a while, but should I start creeping up towards 10st I will throw in some 6:1 weeks to keep myself in check.
I find myself checking the forum much less now That Ive reached my goal, so just wanted to say thankyou, goodbye, and good luck with your journies.

Best wishes

Gail

Hi Gail - congrats indeed on reaching your goal, I can only imagine how delighted you must feel (I can't wait to reach mine - another 5 weeks or so off, but then there's a goal beyond that too ).

It's great that you've been maintaining so well without fasting and must be so reassuring to know you have this method at hand if you need it. What a lot we've all learned from this way of eating.

Thanks for your involvement here. I'm thrilled to know that this place has helped you along the way and I do hope you'll drop in from time to time to let us know how maintenance is going - so many of us still to reach that phase!

Take care, enjoy your new figure & all the best with maintenance

Hi Gail,

Great to hear your success, like everyone else I hope you drop in now and again for a chat and some virtual cake. Not sure about the not being able to keep our hands off each other but I find it hard to keep my hands off myself as I still cannot believe that I have, finally, got as slim as I now am!!

Good luck,
