Hi, so Im new to the forum and been doing 5:2 for a week and 2 days now. On my 3rd fast day today (hence why I’m on here…motivation is drying up). Im 23 and 274lbs so have a long way to go but I lost 11lbs on my first week so happy bunny! I go to the gym twice a week and do an hour of cardio, I’m hoping this will help with weight loss. Anyway, looking forward to browsing the forum and sticking to 5:2 🙂

great start, cornet33! I don’t know how long is left in your fast day, but stick it out, you will be glad you did. Fasting gets easier over time too.

Hi Cornett33!

I’m 24, and I started at 274lbs 4 weeks ago, same as you :). It’s nice to see someone with similar stats and I’m presuming goals!

Congratulations on your loss! What a great start! I find that reading the forums really helps with motivation!

Keep us posted 🙂

Hi Cornet,

I’m still finding it great, very motivated and seeing clear results now!
Still have days when I want to eat everything in sight – yesterday being one of them. I can’t resist a roast dinner 😉 But managing to be very good so far!

I swim 3x a week, and walk to work a couple times a week, which is definitely helping 🙂

If you don’t mind me asking, where abouts in the world are you from?

I’m from Hampshire (down south of UK).

I’m about to eat my first bowl of healthy (ish) chips since Christmas… I’m so excited! Isn’t that sad haha…

I also find browsing the net for 5:2 recipes is motivating btw. Lots of tasty meals out there!
