Hiyaa

I started the 5:2 diet last Thursday Monday and Wednesday are my fast days hoping for a steady slow loss. Good luck xxx

Hi ladies, I started the Fast Diet, Dr Michael Mosley's version yesterday. My fast days are Monday and Thursday. Only found it tough when I was bored, even managed to do 30 Day Shred, but I always exercise on an empty stomach anyway. Lets keep each other motivated?!

On my second day of fasting. It's been tough today!! I think I am going to start waiting till lunch to eat then dinner at 6pm.....just an hour to go and I can't wait!!!!

Hi there it's my first week on the plan my fasting days are Mondays and Thursday and am also trying to do the 30 day shred (although not everyday with that at the mo) had a major eat-a-thon on Tuesday but apart from that not too bad so don't think i can give any advice just yet but it's lovely to know other people are starting it so i can follow someone elses progress.

Hi everyone! I'm on my 2nd fast day of week 3 on 5:2. Loving it so far! I can honestly say I'm almost always no longer hungry, whether it's a fast day or not. The first week was a little tricky (though nowhere near as hard as I thought) but since then I've been fine! My usual fast days are mon and thurs but had to change this week to sat as ive ha to socialise a bit this week! I lost almost 5lb the first week but didn't lose last week (* week). Will weigh in for week 3 tomorrow!
I eat usually at 3:30 on my fast days and then at 6:30. This way I have a long fast from the evening before and another until the next morning. Contemplating a full fast one day, on advice from a fellow 5:2er but may leave that for a few weeks!

Well done everyone on your losses so far and good luck for your next weigh ins!!

Hi, following on from your comment about a full fast Sofartogo, let us know how you get on....on thurs I actually felt worse when I ate at lunch time and a lot hungrier in the evening. Maybe a full fast is the way to go?
