The FastDay Forum

Hi all, I'm Cat and I'm new to 5:2. This forum is ace so my plan for this weekend is read up on the basics and get shopping on Sunday for my fast/feast days

In the last year I've lost 2stone by calorie counting (1500 per day) and doing a mixture of body combat and running. My goal is to loose another 1.5 stone by late summer as I'm running my first half marathon in September!

If anyone has any tips for what to buy or 'must reads' beore i start (on Mon 11th) then please let me know. Looking forward to getting to know you all and to seeing the scales go down!

Thanks,

Cat

Hi Cat and welcome!

Thanks Jemima

Hello PinkKittie and welcome!

Have a look at the short answers FAQ (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=246). Among lots of good stuff in there you will find links to Dr Michael Mosley's original programme which kicked the whole thing off (for most of us) - enjoyable to watch as well as informative.

Some of the others threads in the FAQ section (viewforum.php?f=7) might also help. For eating tips see the recipes board (viewforum.php?f=5).

For inspiration there are too many happy stories of successful weight loss here to list them, but if you like charts you will be especially impressed by the collective stats of forum members at tracker.php?p=stats. Bear in mind this forum was only started by Moogie on 10 January 2013!

Enjoy, and do have your say, everyone seems very polite here - no flame wars!
