The FastDay Forum

Hello, I'm new to the boards but have been doing the 5:2 for 4 weeks now and have lost a pound a week so far. Before then I'd lost a stone over the last year by rejoining the gym and going regularly and just needed a bit of a push on the eating front. I can't do SW or WW any more, it does my head in after a week or so. But on this 'diet' I've managed to keep going for a month anyway which is longer than I've managed with any other specific weight loss programme!

I am aiming to get down to 11 stone 6lbs, BMI 25, by 25th May when I go on holiday.

Good luck with it all. It goes slowly for me but it has been the most success I have ever had. It doesn't bounce back as other diets seem to do if you relax a bit.

Thanks Caro, well done on your weight loss.

Hello Helen
Welcome to the forum. If you put your stats into the tracker you will be able to track your progress and see how you compare to others similar to you. Slow and steady seems to be the way for most of us, about 1lb a week. And it seems to be sustainable. Well done on your progress so far and god luck with your goal. Let us know now you're getting on, please. It's great to read success stories!

Hi Helen

Welcome to the forums!

Just spotted your location...my son had just started reading A Game of Thrones and is hooked!

The books will certainly keep him out of mischief for a while. Weather wise it definitely feels like The Neck here
