The FastDay Forum

Hi.

Please may I join you guys, reached my goal today finally after a plateau of 3 weeks.

Gone from 11.12lb to 10.2lb Since mid jan.

I'm going to 5.2 next week as I'm on holiday half term so will have that week off, see where I am after that hopefully be not too much heavier!

Have you any tips for maintainance you can pass on? Any tricks or patterns that have worked for you?

Thank you

No tips but just wanted to send you huge congratulations.
I remember you joining just after me.
Now you can really enjoy your holiday, and if you gain a few pounds you know you will soon lose it by getting back into 5:2.

well done

Congratulations on reaching your target! Ithink as favas maintenance goes, it is a question of what suits your lifestyle best. A lot of members seem to prefer 16/8, others 6:1 with the occasional 5:2 week when required. I do the latter because I don't think (although Instand to be corrected) that 16 hours constitutes a true fast and I'm interested in the other health benefits from fasting. I also like the discipline of at least one fasting day a week so I remember what being 'hungry' feels like, plus I eat very healthily on these days.
Good luck on whatevever you decide!

Yay! Well done indeed

Wish I was nearer joining you

Congratulations. I am SO happy for you!

Great news, well done!

Back from holiday, and 9 days non fasting, I only gained a lb. very pleased with this as I was eating pastries and French bread every day!
Think I burnt if off as it was a very active holiday with two under eights!

Am doing 5.2 this week and possibly next week depending on how quickly the lb goes.

Was really happy to get back on the fast today. I've actually missed it.

Congratulations on reaching your target and even more congratulations on only gaining one pound on your holiday! What a star you are!

Wow that's fantastic, well done!!!

WoW! This is fantastic news. This WoE really does work! I've a long way to go but I can see from your experience and others that once target is reached it's sustainable! I'm so looking forward to reaching target once again and this time keeping it off. Congrats.

Thanks all It's truly been the best diet ever, quite painless really. I'd never have achieved it on a normal diet and health benifits too. Yay!

Congratulations--you are an inspiration, Mad Eye's Mum--hope to join you in reaching the goal soon.

I'm so intrigued by your handle and your signature. OH and I (and his daughter, too) are huge HP fans--even more so than are the grandchildren. Of the three media, we like the audio books best. The message is conveyed so well and with great feeling and humor.

Here here Mary Beth. You have found me out, yes massive hp fan here, my user name is a little joke as my daughter has an eye condition that means she can do a special trick with her eye, my little nickname for her is mad eye moody- Hence the name,

Alway happy to meet true hp fans, everyone around me thinks I'm nuts, been to the studio tour twice, lucky to live only 45 mins away, planning to visit Florida in 18 mths can't wait!

Happy days. Back at target, let hope I can stay here!

Good luck to all.
