Hi everyone! I am excited to get going on 5:2. Today is my first fast day. I am 45 years old and trying to lose 8-10lb. I manage to get it off every now and again. Eventually, I go back to my old eating/drinking habits and get lax with my exercise so the weight comes back. I’m hoping that 5:2 will help me reach and, more importantly, maintain my goal weight.

Cheers and good luck to all.

Hi Cinque! Thanks for the warm welcome! Fast day has gone okay so far. Did have a bit of headache/woozy feeling mid-morning. I drank more water, but that didn’t help. The feeling subsided once I had lunch. I do find myself thinking about food more than usual. I have a feeling those thoughts will subside once I’m in the habit of fasting. Have a great day!

Yes, I generally have hungry afternoons on fast days, but the hunger goes in waves.
Consider something a little bit salty to help with headache/wooziness, sometimes just water doesn’t rehydrate enough.
You’ll love waking up tomorrow! Morning after a fast day feels great!
Cheers
