The FastDay Forum

Hi I'm Lianne, 43 married & mammy to 6yr old girl!
Tried most diets over the years, wish I was the size I was when I 1st started as a teen (size 12).
I try to eat clean for health reasons, my 1st fast day was Monday & I actually really enjoyed it !

Have signed up for Christmas challenge.

Ashamed to say my BMI is 37 BUT I'm doing something about it!

I can do all things through Him who gives me strength Phil 4 v 13

Hello again, Lianne. Your BMI is what it is and it's just useful as a baseline and to enable you to enter your data in the tracker and receive some guidance relating to your fasting.

I'm pleased to read that you had such a positive experience of your first FD and hope that your future ones are similarly trouble-free. If you have any questions, do speak up because this forum has lots of very experienced people who've been following 5:2 and/or other forms of IF for some time.

I hope that IF contributes to you achieving your health and other goals.

Hi and welcome!
Good to hear you enjoyed yr first fast! well done x

Welcome Lianne I'm glad you found fastday

Hi Lianne and welcome! My bmi was 36 and a bit 18 months ago and now its 28 and a bit. This WOE is life changing. Its not a fast way to lose weight but since it took me 13 years to get so large I decided if it takes 2-3 years to reach my optimal body composition then that's only fair. Its very sustainable as I can see myself doing some form of fasting forever. Get excited lianne because this really works and its free!

Welcome and good luck, Lianne.

Welcome, Lianne. You've found a good place to help you on your weight-loss 'journey'. Loads of advice, support and friendly chit-chat available right here! Julianna has some very good advice in her post - slowly on = slowly off, for long lasting results. This is not a speedy weight loss programme - it is a whole new Way Of Life (WOL)!

Good luck! Onwards and downwards!

My BMI was 46 and is now only 40. So I still have a way to go to catch up with you. There are people lurking who are heavier still.
Don't get despondent when you hear people have reached their target weight in only a few months. My tracker says 2019 (but I have slacked off for most of the year). If it takes till 20 19 for me, it is still sooner than never at all to reach my target weight.

Everyone is so friendly here!

Doesn't matter what your BMI is - it is but a starting point!

We are all at different points in our journey but we have a common purpose and are here to help each other along the way!

Hope you find all the support here you need
