The FastDay Forum

Hi Folks

Im Claire and as I am new to the forums I would just like to say a big Hello!!

Having tried many diets and diet clubs i am so glad i am now a 5:2er! I tend to look at this as not dieting but changing my attitude to food. i no longer feel guilty having a little...(oookay! Sometimes a lot!!!) of what i enjoy, i can swap my fast day if i have social arrangements and more importantly i have stuck to this for over 3 months, which is my personal best as usually if i am deprived i just throw it all in and go back to being a wee piggy!!
My loss has been more or less consistent 1lb a week more often than not I have weeks when i don't loose anything but on the whole i feel that i am making changes and taking steps to amend my eating habits.
I would love to hear feedback or advice from anyone out there.

Claire

Welcome to the forum Claire! Yes! I feel the same, this WoE (way of eating) does alot to changing attitudes about food. If I indulge at this meal then next meal will be lighter, a much better balance than thinking I've blown it and might as well keep eating for the rest of the day. lol

Seems you are losing at pretty much the forum average of 1 lb a week. You can put your stats in the progress tracker (even retro-active stats, just change the dates) and you'll get a lovely graph showing all your progress to date. You may make it private or public but I do find it very motivational.

Hi Claire and Welcome to the forum you will find all the tips, help, and advice on here and the members are lovely Glad you're fasts are working for you & as you say its more of a lifestyle change that is very sustainable for the future, with only 2days of restrictions, or as in my case a2 as I'm doing 4:3 simply because I've loads of weight to get rid of Think I've been doing this WOL about one month longer than you
But really pleased with the results. Good Luck Sue

lol, I don't know, I've never clicked on 'friends', everybody is so friendly that I log in everyday and click on View new posts and see what everybody is up to daily.

As for your weight, I can't see it so it's not public .. yet!
