The FastDay Forum

Hello everyone. I started the 5:2 diet on 28/1/2013 after a bit of a health scare. I have successfully completed 4 fast days so far and lost just over 6lbs. I have a way to go and will enjoy reading your inspirational posts to help keep me on the right track.

My 5th fast day and it has all gone well so far. I think we will all find it a little easier when the weather warms up. I seem to be having a lot of low calorie home made soup at the moment -just to help me feel fuller in this cold weather.
Hope everyone else is doing ok!

Glad you had a good first day. Soup is a great option for fast days!

This is my first day back from a wonderful winter holiday. I saw the program when it first came out and was fascinated (been controlling my weight for 35 years). I browsed the book at the airport and got on line for more info whilst away. I'm in! I have six weeks before a big family event with a stunning dress bought on line that's a tad too tight (it's got to fit as my husband will be unamused if I buy another!). There is about a stone too much hanging around (long hols with inactivity ) I am a veggie but eat dairy (I love it in fact) so I was thinking no dairy on my fast days and just soup made with stock and veggies on my fast days would do it. I am one of those people who can eat curry for breakfast. Anyone else done anything similar ?
