Hello! Nice to see another newbie
I did my first fast day today and have been ok, amazingly.
There's a lot of brilliant info on the official website and in their forums. Some people go crazy complicated but I'm doing the simple thing at first.
- 500 cals (or less) twice a week
- 1500-1800 cals on non fast days (my TDEE is 1885)
I did 5:2 a few years ago and let myself go a bit crazy on non fast days, so this time I'm a bit more focused and feeling I can control myself better!
I have 2 stone to lose.

Hi, I'm doing 5:2, along with slimming world. I'm the same as you Hellie - when I did 5:2 before, I found myself going over board on my non fast days. So I'm hoping SW will help me on that front.
The fasts are going really well. I'm only having one meal under 500 calories on my fast days at night, which is working better than when I had 3 smaller meals during the day.
I've only been back on plan for 2 weeks, and I lost 3lbs last week. I'll weigh in tomorrow to see how I've done this morning.
How's it going for both of you?
