The FastDay Forum

Hi, I'm new here!

I will have completed my first week of the 5-2 diet as of tomorrow!
I love it! I was initially only going to do the 5-2 then decided I would do 4-3 and now I'm doing ADF! I seem to find the fasting days quite easy!
I have always been an all or nothing kind of person so this diet just suits me perfectly!


SW:102.6kg
CW: 100.9kg
GW1: 95kg
UGW: 69kg (give or take a few kg when I feel happy)

I'm also using myfitnesspal as a calorie and food diary!

I've always been up and down with my weight and have decided that its about time I took control!

Welcome to the forum Jodie! You have a plan and that's the best step to take and well done on your first week of stats. Looking forward to reading more of your continued success and progress.

thank you! just filled in my info for the progress tracker and seeing it as a whole amount for the past week rather than the little amounts i see coming off daily is very nice!
There is no way i would be able to stay away from the scales for a week though!
Im doing 1200 cals on my feast days and 500 for my fasts!
luckily im on nights at the moment so i find the fast days quite easy as im asleep most of the day and busy at work at night!
I need to stop using the term diet cause this way of eating is so much better than any diet as its actually achievable and straight forward! i love it!

I weigh every morning and log it in an app called Libra (android phone) and it gives a nice trend line down or up (did something about that quickly!). I log my weight here once or twice a week as I enjoy seeing my bmi drop too. This truely is a WoE because even when goal is achieved I'll still fast once or twice a week for maintenance and hopefully health benefits. Enjoy your journey and this new WoE.

Ooh! i may have to download that app!
currently on another fast day! not actually had anything to eat yet planning on having some soup when i start to feel hungry!! cannot wait to weigh myself tomorrow!
havnt really seen much movement in the past 2 days! (but i know thats completely normal - im just obsessed with weighing daily)

I am loving my pedometer as it tells me the cals and fat burned! fantastic motivation and great knowing the amount im burning just getting on with general day to day life!
I try and do some exercise but definitely dont stick to a specific schedule just yet!

Good luck Jodie. You are going to love it. We have similar start and goal weights and I look forward to seeing your progress. I absolutely love this WOE and haven't needed to 'cheat'once because it gets easier and who wants to start fasting again tomorrow when you just have to get through today -plus you can eat whatever you want tomorrow?

according to my scales i've lost about 3kg in 10 days!
can i trust them? lol!
i have been really strict doing ADF with my feed days of 1200 cals max!
i keep my scales in the same place not on carpet! i think i can trust them! lol!
i know when people have a lot to loose it can come off quite quick at first.

has anyone else had these kind of amazing losses in the first week or so?
