The FastDay Forum

Hi I've just discovered 5:2, and had my first fast day yesterday.

I've had a couple of years of slow but steady weight gain, in spite of being pretty fit and active - just from plain overeating. Hopefully giving my body a break (mostly) from food for 2 days a week will help it kick back to a less hungry (and snacky) place.

Hi KataMac and welcome!

Good luck on your 5:2 journey.

G'day KataMac! Sorry, couldn't resist it

Welcome to the forums - hope all goes well with your 5:2ing. There's a small group of Aussies here who I'm sure will make themselves known to you in due course.

I'm not one of them, I just really wanted to say G'day

Hi KataMac. I am from Australia too, over in the West. I have just finished my 10th fast. Not many people have heard of IF here so I am steadily converting them. Welcome

lol Moogie G'day to you too
yes, so far not many 5:2ers around here, but I bet that changes over the next few months.

Hi, Sydney here I am also spreading the word as I am having great success with this WOE. Good luck KataMac

Hi there
I live in Tassie but work in WA, noone I know is doing this or has geard of it. I remwmber seeing the program last year bur forgot about it until I saw a BBC article. Hope it goes well!

I'm in Qld, so looks like we have a fair few of the states represented. I'm pretty sure the tv programme is being aired here later this year, and sure more people will pick up on it then.

It's going to be on SBS but you can find it online if you haven't seen it.
