The FastDay Forum

Hello,
This is the first time I have ever posted on a site like this. I am not particularly overweight but have put on a stone and a half since meeting and marrying my husband. I have failed with all the well known diets but saw the Horizon programme last summer and that really struck a chord. It has taken me until now though to start my journey. I think I was afraid of yet more failure but then last Thursday I made a sudden spontaneous decision to fast and guess what...I survived!! Onwards and upwards.....

Onwards and upwards indeed. Welcome.
Hopefully, you'll find it gets easier. Do put your stats on the progress tracker and let us know how you get on

Can I add my welcome Jude30 to the forum and to 5:2. Hope you can find your way around here okay, I know if it's new it may all seem a bit strange, but the main thing is that the natives are friendly

As Jane suggests, do use the tracker if you can, and do have a look at the short answers faq (in the FAQ section, where else!)

Onwards & downwards even - for the weight, that is!
Welcome from me too. I would also say use the tracker, I find it really good to see my progress - it's a great reminder if you feel things aren't going too well.

I'm a newbie to the forum too, welcome! Have been doing 5/2 for 10 weeks and lost 9 pounds. V Pleased

Yay another Jude! Welcome Jude30 and edflo - you are in the right place, lots of lovely peeps here, very supportive too :0)

Hi Jude - well done for starting. Hope you have a successful journey

Hello and welcome on board!!!
