The FastDay Forum

Hi, I'm another newbie starting my first fast day today. So far so good ! I have high hopes for this & think it'll fit in with my life style. I intend my fast days to be Thursday & Mondays. I'd be reaaly glad of any support . I have 3 stones to lose ....

Hi Sheilygee and welcome to the forums & the 5:2 way of life

You'll find a lot of good folk here, all very supportive & helpful!

Many of us also fast on Mon/Thu (myself included), so you'll find plenty of us chatting away in the 'fasting today' forum on those days when we've nothing else to occupy ourselves with!

I also started out hoping to lose around 3 stone, ideally a little more. I've lost just over 31lbs so far since August and it has felt like no effort at all! Another stone and I'll be really pleased. I'm sure 5:2 will work just as well for you and hopefully in 5 or 6 weeks you'll be saying you only have 2 stone to go - huzzah!

Wow well done on your loss ! That really inspires me. I've tried every diet going but as soon as I'm on a diet & because I've a fair bit to lose it just seems like never ending deprivation ! I think I'll cope more with the "fast" word & knowing it's only a day at a time. I've also stepped up my "Curves" gym attendence so all in all, for the first time in a long time I really feel motivated ! I feel thinner already

Hope your first day went well. Mine was much better than I had expected! Hopefully I can keep this up.

My day went really well thanks Just home after work and going to have a cup of tea then bed ! A few rumbles late in the day but all in all I've been pleasantly surprised ! Feeling quite excited & hopeful that this could be the answer for me
