The FastDay Forum

Introduce Yourself!

Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!

If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!

Hi
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!
:grin: :heart:
Hi Emma and welcome!

So glad it's working well for you! Lots of friendly people here to support you!
Crikey, think we'd all like to have had that sort of result !!!!

Glad you're having fun, isn't it amazing, this really is not difficult & it IS liberating :)
Thanks Annie and Caroline, yes it is liberating! It's such a different way of life - feel like I've joined a (healthy) cult or something as I keep wanting to talk about it to people (and convert them) but stop myself as I don't want to be a bore.
