The FastDay Forum

Hello everyone!
Started Monday, and, so far, so good. The fast days (Mon and Wed) were hard for me (very hungry at times, and a little headachy on Wed), but in a strange way I felt good too, maybe because I knew I was doing something good for myself? I'm very overweight, so I'm having 550- 600 cals on fast days, but limiting feast days to 2000 (and I do mean limiting - I've been using myfitnesspal to track calories, and I can't believe what a "normal" day for me was - sheez!). Weighed myself today (after yesterday's feast day) and I was 3 lbs down. And, I can enjoy the weekend...loving this 5:2!
Good luck everyone!

Hi Fostee and welcome!

Glad you managed the first two fast days ok. They do get better and so do the headaches. I've found it works well to vary how much I eat on feed days so sometimes I'm a bit below the daily recommendation but others I'm above...thus allows me to have some wine and desserts at the weekends

You got a good weight loss for the first week...they might not all be so big but overall you should see a downward trend!

Do register with the progress tracker where you can see your progress in a pretty graph plus browse the forum stats too!

Good luck!

I started Monday too, fasted Monday and Wednesday have 14 pounds to lose have lost four pounds already this week. I find the fast days motivate me.
