The FastDay Forum

Hello all,

This is my first post after lurking for some time!

My husband started his Primal Blueprint diet (kind of a paleo diet) on 1st Jan, and fed up of eating differnt meals I decided to join him on 9th Jan. A couple of weeks later, we watched the 5:2 Horizon programme and decided to give it a whirl too.

My starting weight was a shameful 19 stone 2lbs (how did that happen?)
My husband wanted to lose 2 stone after being disgusted with photos of himself on our honeymoon..

Our progress?? Well, hubby lost the two stone by the beginning of April and is now on a 6:1 to maintain. He is nowing trying to see if he can get a six pack in time for his 40th at the end of June!

As of today I have lost 2 stone and 3lbs - still a long way to go (50+ pounds)but I am really happy. I have rediscovered some old clothes in my "spare" wardrobe and really need to find some new skirts for work.

I have never found fasting to be a problem, didn't get headaches at all - I think it was th switch to the Paleo diet that helped (very low sugar consumption etc)

Can honestly say, this is an easy way of life, I do cheat on the Paleo, I enjoy the odd slice of bread,cake and chocolate etc!

Fingers crossed it continues - thank you to everyone that contributes to this forum, especially the moderaters, its fun to lurk and read everyones posts.

Good luck - Badgirl (slowly turning into a Goodgirl!)

Congratulations I started on Monday weighing in at 18st 5lbs so it is so heartening to hear of your success. Well done you.

Well done to you both and I shall look forward to reading your next post. I trust that as well as the weight loss you must be benefiting from other health benefits. This forum is a real bonus!

That's brilliant, well done to both of you

This is wonderful news to hear, you both must be feeling the health benefits as well as looking great, this certainly will motivate others to keep going.

Well done to you both

Congratulations on a fabulous 4 months! Keep up the great work!

Well done for your fab loss so far! I started slimming world in mid jan ad weighed 19.4 stone the thought of closing near to 20 stone petrified me! I got down to 17.6 on slimming world and have lost 6.5 pounds on this diet in 2 weeks and loving it so far!

Well done on the weight loss, I'm so impressed and motivated. It's also good to see others who have a lot to lose - I'm in the same boat and had started to wonder if everyone on the forum only has a few pounds to go (not that I'm saying that that is in any way easier than losing a lot etc, just that their target is soooo much closer )
Good luck with the rest of the 'journey'

YAY! well done Mr & Mrs Badgirl and Claire. Impressive.

Congratulations

WOW! You lost almost 2 lbs per week! Congratulations on your weight loss!

I have a lot to lose, and at times it goes a bit slow, but I love this WoE and plan to continue. Thanks for sharing. It gives me hope that it is possible to lose long term on this plan.

Congrats! I love reading successes like this... great job!

I lurked too for a while and like you found it encouraging to read everyone's posts. Your doing so well, congratulations!

I too have been lurking for some time, and have decided that now is the time to join in with you all. I have just spent a month in New York (I live in the UK) and have put on 5 pounds of the 10 pounds I lost on 5:2 before our holiday. I am delighted with that as normally I would have gained much more and now intend to knuckle down and get rid of the rest!

Well done bad girl !! Well I'm another big started 3weeks ago at 19st
Just finished 3rd week + lost 10lbs in total Amazing diet so easy to adapt to I'm walking at breakfast time on F days which of course is helping
Glad there is someone else out there with loads to lose.
Good luck + thank-you for more inspiration. Sue
