Hello, just starting today
15 Apr 2013, 20:24
Hello everyone,

After carrying around my mum's tum now for 2 years, I have decided to get rid of it. I previously have had success with WW, but when I tried it this time, it just didn't work as I just couldn't keep track of what I was eating every day, so I am hoping that as it is only 2 days that I need to eat compeletely differently to the rest of the family it wil be better.

Anyway, today was the start of the 5:2 diet, but my first fast is tomorrow and I am just about to meal plan. I am waiting for my book to arrive, so finding it a bit difficultto do this as calorie values seem to differ slightly.

I got so excited about starting this last night, however now, I am worrying slightly about my first fast, got a some miso soups in and need to think about when I should eat (3 small meals vs 2 larger ones). Wish me luck!

Liz

Hello LizzieB and welcome. Good luck for your first fast tomorrow :clover: The fasts really do get easier as you go along. Drink plenty and remember, you can eat some of whatever you fancy the next day!
I'm into week 6 now and love it! :)

Well done batfink - glad it went well :like:
