My name's Emma and I have tried so many ways to lose weight and always yo yo back to my previous weight. Despite being skeptical about the practicality of the Fast Diet (I'm a secondary school teacher and find my job to be very demanding) I wasn't sure whether this was sustainable or whether I'd be fainting in class. Anyway, i have never felt more energetic, on-the-ball than the last few days. I have already dropped 6lbs and have gone down from 11st 5 to 10st 13. I am so excited, I just want to keep it up as every time I have made this progress in the past I have always returned to bad habits and put the weight back on.
Mind you I love the simplicity that comes with Fast days - it's a challenge and I feel in charge of my own body. Then on feast days I eat the favourite food I love (albeit with slightly smaller portions).
I',m looking forward to hearing everyone's stories to keep me going!
