The FastDay Forum

My name is Dana, 46 year old, mum of one. I started 5-2 on Monday. So far so good. The plan is to do Mondays and Thursdays, and see how it goes for a month.
First fast was quite easy Hope the results will be good. I am doing this mainly for health but wouldn't mind to loose a bit just in time for summer holidays

Any before and after pics out there?

Good luck all

welcome, I also started on monday, it went better than i thought,although did go to bed early to stop me thinking about food,my breakfast tasted so much better than normal.I I need to lose 3 half stones so its for weightloss, I hope it works for you. Good luck, I have never been on a forum before but have found it helpful.

Hi Margaret
Are you going to do 5-2? I am planning to weigh myself every Sunday, tomorow is my second fast so we'll see what happens. Keep up posted of your progress.
I think loads of tea, some with milk, but mostly herbal teas help curb the hunger pangs. And a big bowl of clear broth.

Hi Dana

Before and after pics are a great idea! Unfortunately there are currently not too many people at the after stage as yet. Could be worth starting a thread if we can find someone willing to upload their pics. I've got to lose a bit more before it will be worth taking a pic though!

Hi Yes I have started the 5-2, and it's fast day again tomorrow for the second time. I really enjoyed fruit tea which I had previously not touched. It's strange but I somehow felt different,quite calm can't describe it well, but it felt like being in control, certainly learnt a lot about my relationship with food. I also plan to weigh myself on Sunday. I wanted to make some soup must get that sorted for next week, hope your day goes well tomorrow.
