Hi maggot just starting this out today myself wouldn’t mind a buddy 2 keep me motivated living in Dublin.

Hi folks I’m on week two and live in Ireland. So far I’ve lost 5.4 llbs and am feeling very motivated. I find this forum really helpful in keeping me going. Annemarie, I get that reaction from some people too .

Hi all, completed yesterday without much trouble and am doing the same as you maggot might aswell get the second fast day over with today and Annemarie I wouldn’t worry what others think….especially if it works. Anyway good luck with the fasting guys.

Hi everyone I am making the commitment to get organised and start, this will be a tough journey so hopefully we can all keep ourselves motivated, I am looking at knee surgery and am hoping to avoid it by losing some weight, have tried everything else. good luck everyone

Junk lover, good perseverance is definitely the right mantra !! I had a treat day today and had some bread . I found that day after a fd my cravings rear their ugly head. Maggot I think ur right that waiting to have ur meal later helps but I found it very stomach acid inducing , so junk lover, like u I started my fd day with an egg then soup for lunch and a 300 call dinner. Everything settled down stomach wise after that but I find that I am hungrier this way !!! Enjoy the tennis maggot x

Yes, I did it (..Perhaps I should say: I didn’t.. I didn’t eat..) I am proud of myself, had some tough moments this evening (when I could almost hear this chocolate bar talking to me..) Hope you all did well, too!
Have a lovely weekend!

Hi Maggot,

thanks for asking! Feeling good, no headaches. I appreciate food more now that I have fasted for one day. Tomorrow my second day. Looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time 😉
(love the expression ‘pat-on-the-back’ glass of wine!)
Persistance everyone!

Hi Maggot,
I feel great. Today went really well. No headaches. Enjoyed the few nuts and yoghurt. I really appreciate food more and I feel healthy. Also (but that could be wishful thinking) it seems I am clearer in my mind..
I wonder what the future will bring!
Good luck and happy for you that you lost so much weight already!
Annemarie

EstherLorraine, good luck! It was our wedding anniversary too yesterday!! (9 years). But I fasted anyway 🙂

Hi all, well done maggot!not really sure about kgs but I now it’s harder to loose a kg den a pound 😂 and fair play Anne Marie. Haven’t bin on d forum in a few days but my second fast went smooth just weighed myself dis mornin and lost a little over 3 pounds so am chuffed :-). Gonna fast today.

Hmm, have weighed in after first fast of the week and have put on 1.4 llbs. Clearly I’m eating too much on non fast day. Must not get disheartned 🙁

Hi everyone
I started yesterday with my first fast. I am doing my second today as off to France tonight for the weekend. I have found it better to liquid fast until evening meal as long as I am busy. I must say even though my tummy is rumbling occasionally, I feel so much more alert than if I was constantly eating (ex slimming world habits)

I have checked the calories for a Leon superfood salad and that will be my meal tonight at the Eurotunnel 😀

Hi Everyone, so Monday I saw the feature on This Morning with Michael Mosley, bought the book, have read it through and today was my first fast day!
Not feeling too bad, quite surprised I’m not grumpy and thinking about what’s in the cupboards (can’t get rid of it as have husband and two teen boys to feed)
As they say, I think it’s the thought that tomorrow will be a normal food day (without going mad) and it doesn’t feel depressing like other low cal diets I’ve done that just went on day after miserable day!
Next Fast day will be Friday to get my two in before the weekend, but feeling determined so long may it continue 🙂
