The FastDay Forum

Hi all,
Just found this site and registered, so hope I am doing this correct.
I have been doing the 5:2 diet since August and have lost 46lbs, (222lbs - 176lbs) dropped 3 trouser sizes and 2 shirt sizes. I fast on a Tuesday and Thursday from 7pm the previous night to 7pm the next day. During the fast days I drink lots of water, black tea and coffee.
I feel really great and for the first time in many years don't get out of puff when walking the dog up a hill!! My BMI is drastically reduced althought still in the 'overweight' section.
Blood pressure also come down from 160/120 to around 120/76. Reckon I have another 14 or so pounds to go which I hope to achieve before my summer holidays.
looking forward to reading all the news and talking to like minded people.

Hi bycress, welcome to the forums & well done on your amazing 5:2 story! That's a fantastic loss, you must feel really amazing

If you've kept track of your loss on a regular basis in that time, it would be great if you would take a few minutes to add the data to our progress tracker system as we're quite lacking in male details! The tracker not only provides you with charts of your own progress, but generates stats for all the tracker users showing average losses etc by different types of people.

Hi Bycress16 and welcome, I'm pretty new here myself great to see you have made such progress.

Thanks Moogie - Just filled in the tracker and will update regularly.
Hi Bee - I also read the forums on the 5:2 website and the facebook page which makes interesting reading.

Wow, thats brilliant!

It sounds like your doing fantastic & it looks like you will need a whole new summer wardrobe, jobs a good'un!
