The FastDay Forum

Here I am, on my holibags in beautiful York! 1 year ago I was here also, but 19lbs heavier and really down as I had tried so many different approaches to dump the extra pounds. I was down because I had lots of summer clothes I couldn't wear and could see the double chin and muffin top enlarging. The holiday pics were going to be grim...they weren't as it worked out, as I wouldn't allow any to be taken.

I heard about 5:2 from a good friend and started in April 6th. I have found the process amazingly easy and have stuck with the basic 5:2 idea, which thankfully works well for me.

From April 6th to July 5th I have managed to dump a significant weight (17lbs). 11.12 down to 10.9. Absolutely delighted! I had set target of 10.7 for this date, but had a nagging doubt it would be 'just another diet'. How wrong can you be! 10.9 feels brilliant and I'm sure after the hols I'll hit my target.

This forum has, no doubt, made a significant difference to my results. The quality of info and generosity of contributors make the whole process seem far more supportive. Thanks to one and all!

I'm off to get some piccys taken this holiday and I have faith next years break will past the photo test, too!

I agree Deb! Without all the lovely, supportive, informative and humorous people here, I doubt I would have stuck with this WoE as rigorously as I have. On my own, I know I would have found an excuse to not fast but harder to give in when others are struggling along with you. Love this forum and never have I found such an amazing group of people.

Enjoy your holiday and the knowledge that we are all here for you anytime you need us.

Deb I love this forum too, everyone is so supportive, I love reading it on my fast days to give me a boost and no question goes unanswered. Everyone is at different stages on there journey and I can feel there pain and delight in this WOE as I travel through mine. Have a great holiday with some wonderful holiday pics

Well done deb and have a great holiday, and yes get on them photos.
(I know how that feels coz I don't have mine taken either)
Well done on the weight loss and I agree with you about the support from all the lovely members on here Sue
