The FastDay Forum

Hi, Just started this diet after reading about it on another forum. So thought I would join you to get a bit of support I have watched the video and hopefully this change in eating will make a difference to me.

Welcome and good luck

Hi and Welcome to the forums!! It sure has made a difference in this house. I am no longer morbidly obese, and as of this week, my husband is no longer obese

I hope you don't mind that I removed your duplicate post.

Good luck

Thank you both. Sorry I did not realise I had posted twice. I am not great with technology so must have done something wrong somewhere. Thanks for fixing it

I'm new here as well. I've been dabbling with IF and I'm encouraged when I read of other people's successes. It seems to good to be true, doesn't it?

We can do it...we'll soon be posting losses as well!

I have never really been keen on special diets and have only tried in the past to cut down. I did lose about 2 1/2 stones 4 years ago as I was going through a stressful time and I seemed to change my diet (eating less carbs and more protein). I was amazed at how my weight changed and I started exercising too. Now due to back problems I cannot go to exercise classes and the weight is slowly creeping back on. I could probably do to loose about 1/2 stone and I hope this will help. I was really interested in the other benefits to health mentioned in the TV programme about this type of diet. I am sure we can do it!

Hi, I've just started too. I have just finished my 3rd fast yesterday and so far so good. I have to admit to being a bit sceptical at first - not so much about the method but more about my ability to manage to work and get through a busy day without eating but I have been impressed with the weight lost achieved by a couple of my work colleagues and they managed to do so thought I'd give it a try. First day was a bit hard but the past 2 have been fine and yesterday was great and I felt full of energy. So good luck to all new 5:2s and if I can do it anyone can!

Hi, yes another newbie here, I'm planning on starting next Tuesday, so glad I found this site, not sure I would have actually done it otherwise, so many people giving support and tips, nervous, but can't wait to get going, good luck to you, and all the new starters!!!
