The FastDay Forum

Previously started 5:2 with great success and saw it as a lifetime strategy. However, veered onto ADF and increased my workouts to double the time I had previously committed. After a few weeks, collapsed with exhaustion and, foolishly, gave up.
Just re-started with 5:2 only and normal workouts. Feeling totally positive and optimistic!

Welcome to the forums! Yes, you're not the first person to get too excited and then wear themselves out. But good for you for coming back and adopting a slower pace. It doesn't have to be all or nothing to be successful!

Thanks Tracieknits. Thanks for your welcome and encouragement. Very kind of you...
Congratulations to you and your commendable loss of lbs + BMI [incompatible emoji removed]

Hi @loz17 and welcome!

Do consider joining the Christmas Challenge to help with motivation in the lead up to Christmas. The forum is much quieter now, and it would be lovely to have a few more taking part in the challenge. Whatever you decide, good luck and best wishes for your re-start!

Hi Sassy1. Thanks so much for your kind message. Still navigating around this website, but had just joined the Christmas Challenge before I received your message! Thanks for your thoughtful wishes for my re-start! And again, enjoy your holiday...
