Hi Today is my second fast day of my 6th week. So far I have lost 7lb and look forward to getting on the scales again on Sunday! I have just discovered this site and look forward to being part of a positive and supportive community.

Hi Everyone,
New to this but have read all I can about the diet and am desperate to start.I have tried all other diets and have given up. My family are concerned about my weight so I really do need to do something and I have to say this looks really good. I have decided to fast on Monday and Thursday as I am really busy then so hope that work will keep me occupied! Wish me luck

Welcome to the forum brendalesley!

Good luck with your first fasts. As I expect you have read, the first couple of fasts can be tough for some people, but hang in there as they get so much easier until they are no bother at all really.

If you haven't already, please do read the FAQ (link below) and then perhaps enter your starting information in the progress tracker. On Monday do pop in to say hello on our daily 'fasting today' thread.

Good luck!

Did my first fast day yesterday and was so surprised at how easy I found it. Long may it continue!

Hi Brendalesley
Congratulations on completing your first fast day. This week I lost another 1lb. I fasted yesterday and my next will be Thursday too. Going out for a meal tomorrow so will need Thursday`s fast!!
Please remember, the scales will go up and down but keep going as this is normal for most of us. Just watch that tape measure!!!
Keep positive and focus on your goal.
Good luck.
