Hi everyone,

If anybody has started a blog about their journey, I would love for you to share it here. This forum is great, but it would be great to have a more in depth look at one person’s journey throughout the weeks, months and years.

I’ll start with mine: https://five2andme.wordpress.com/

Its only a few days old, but my starting pictures are up and I hope to keep updating frequently about my progress.

Your turn: go!

Ok Amy Here it is http://fast2health.blogspot.com/ I just changed it name. I used to have a domain called beastmodehealth.com but never cared for that name so I didn’t continue to pay for it.

Thanks for sharing!

Are you still fasting even though you’re not posting?

Glad to hear it!

I’m half way through my third fast day now, and I think its easier for me than last week. The fact that I lost 3 pounds in my first week also makes it easier to stay motivated.

Thank you. I’m not always so good at following through with things, so we’ll see how it works out,

If there is anyone else reading this thread, I would really like to see your blog, or a link to one that you enjoy to read.

Well, even though I haven’t had many comments on this thread, I’ve still been getting plenty of clicks through to my blog from it, so I thought I would let you all know that my first set of photos, a week apart are up. There isn’t a noticeable difference at this point, which is a bit disheartening, but I’m sure it will get there in time. For now I’ll just have to be happy with what the scales have been telling me.

Good luck AmyLamey. Great blog. I think it will be interesting to look back after a few more weeks and then you will see how far you have come. 🙂

I will have to look at your blog ribe. I decided to change blogging platforms to wordpress.Com Their Android app is much better than the blogger app. So I don’t have get on my pc just to change settings.

Welcome to the world of blogging, Ribena. I’ve found that it has really helped to keep me on track so far. A little eerie that we both have the exact same theme :). You food photos are much nicer than mine though!

So 3 weeks on 5:2 and this mornings weigh in showed a total 4.25lb loss. I was hoping for more but at least it is going in the right direction (albeit slowly!).

Check out my blog to follow my ups and downs!

It would be a lot easier if the site admins got into the 21st century (or even the 20th) and took notice of our repeated requests to allow the posting of images.

Sorry blonde moment, blame a combination of start of the week and fasting!

@pot – I agree! It would be more motivating for a newcomer like myself to see the photos on the forums. I have IT problems sometimes opening other links.

It’s bizarre. I can’t think of a single reason why they forbid the posting of images. You’d think all the before and after photos would be great publicity!
