Hi, good luck with your fasting. I’ll be in my second week this coming week, but have a cold at the moment so not sure I’m fasting tomorrow or Tuesday. Happy to be a buddy if you like?

Do you know how are planning on your fast? I only have drinks in the day (mainly hot water or cup of tea and I take some milk from my overall calories) and then have a warm meal in the evening. As I find that easier than spreading my calories throughout the day.

Welcome! I feel the same way, wish I had someone to text rather than the longer process of posting haha, but I live in the USA and it looks like most live elsewhere. But, I’m also here for you if you need anything 🙂 What days will you be fasting? What are your goals? What will your fast day look like?

Hey hope tomorrow is good for you. I’m full of cold but did fast today as I didn’t feel that hungry at all!! Have had a few more calories so roughly around 560 instead of 500 but it’s all good, off to have a soak in the bath and then bed!!

Happy to whatsapp if you want!!

Hi happymadge2014. I’m starting the 5to2 tomorrow too. A bit nervous as I haven’t ever really restricted my calories to anything like 500. A bit embarrassing really but I can’t even remember the last time I ‘skipped’ meal. I’ve weighed out everything I am planning on having tomorrow. I’m skipping breakfast and then having some veg/ a boiled egg and a few almonds for lunch tomorrow with a mini snack pot of baked beans and a slice of rye bread for dinner. Not too excited to start but I’ve had a bit of excess weight which has been bothering me for years….and now is the time I want to do something about it!

Have you done this diet before?

I just downloaded the WhatsApp! I think it’s a great idea to have a group, the immediate support will be incredibly helpful. Now how do I add everyone..?

Is there a way of us getting each others numbers without displaying them on here? I would happily create the group if we could somehow do that 🙂

Hi Simcoeluv, thanks for the link. That’ll be some good bedtime reading!

Happymadge that’s amazing you’ve had such success with this plan before. Did you find it hard exercising in the morning and not eating until dinner? I’m always starving after a gym session!

Amala and SR07 the whatsapp group sounds like a great idea. It’s strange there’s no private messaging function on here!

I’m based in the UK. Are we all in the same time zone?

Hi

I found it easy when I was focused and determined.. Unfortunately I lost my determination along the holiday. But am focused again now, am in the uk.. So hopefully we can motivate each other if we have a group. :))

If there is someone happy to be admin maybe they can create a group on Facebook and we can all join and encourage each other. I’m not very savvy with techno.:)

I created a WhatsApp group named Fast Group! Didn’t want to say 5/2 group because there’s 4/3 and ADF, hope this helps us connect in a more immediate way.
