The FastDay Forum

today at the gym enjoying working out, while I was getting up a sweat I reflected how I have avoided the gym until the last 3 years and now I could go every day

have new goals about giving up wheat and drastically reducing sugar

replacing winter and summer wardrobes as I am much smaller

What about you?

Grateful my clothes still fit, despite a dreadful few weeks for food.

Grateful that I can afford to buy healthy food

[Debs]

just had a wonderful, boozy foodie lunch with friends

I am fortunate enough to have choices in life

a wonderful hubby who supports me (even if he is losing weight more than me when he doesn't need too !)

Right now, right this minute, I'm so grateful to have lost a total of 11lbs since I started this 2 weeks ago. (Don't be too impressed folks, I'm very overweight and big people always lose a lot at the start. )

Course I do have other things to be grateful for but right this minute I'm just full of this.

I wish I'd found out about 5:2 a long time ago!



(Edit: that kinda sounds like I'm bragging, I don't mean to sound like that, I'm just so chuffed I wanted to share. )

Hey Gail totally agree I wish I had found this way of eating 20 years ago and when the weight shifts you want to tell the world and tee hee on here you can, go @Gail1963

for this forum, which has already seen me through good and bad times
not living in the south of England with all the floods and desperate weather situation
as Debs and Karen say above, it's good to have choices about the important stuff - including what to eat.

The support of people around me, especially my OH and this forum

That I am a woman who keeps everything, even clothes from 20 years ago or I wouldn't have a thing to wear right now

To be able to eat good things, homemade most of the time, and to know how to cook eatable meals without spending too much

Firstly I'm grateful I sent for the fast diet book after missing the horizon programme and ALL the publicity
Secondly I'm grateful my first few days were enjoyable thus making it easier for me to continue.
Thirdly I'm so grateful I found this forum on which I've learned far more than I ever took in reading the book.
Fourthly I'm grateful for life because without the other
3 I honestly don't think I would have had much if one.
Fifth reason I'm so so grateful that this WOL works because for the first time ever I now know I will make it to my weightloss goal and target weight even despite the pitfalls along the way.
Lastly My hubby + family + great friends especially my "virtual" friends all over the world.

I'm grateful that I'm fit and healthy enough to enjoy my life
now I'm retired
That I know how to feed my body well and keep it in good shape by making wise food choices
That I have the time and means to try out so many wonderful new foods and recipes, even if they don't always turn out right!
Goes without saying that my hubby, family and friends both 'real' and virtual mean the world to me.

Grateful to be alive and ridiculously healthy at 66

Grateful to be able to be ridiculous at 66

Grateful to have been born in a, perceived, democratic part of the world where women have choices

Grateful for family, friends and all the lovely folk on here

Grateful for everything good that has ever come my way, which is a lot

I'm very grateful for finding 5:2 and this wonderful forum and the people on it.

Right now though I am very grateful for the most amazing weekend spent with my DH climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, staying in a hotel with views of the Harbour and dinner at a fancy schmansy restaurant.
