I’m excited to start and am looking for someone to check in possibly meet up with as well. I live in north London.
Anyway really hope to hear back

Hi Tess
I’m in North London too. I’m on day one right now. I can’t get food out of my head! Normally I snack and graze through the day, so I’m going up the wall not able to nibble.
I’m 5’3 and am 11 stone. Trying to finally shake off the weight I put on as a student 4 years ago.
How has it gone for you since August? Hope it’s working- would be good motivation for me to stay away from the fridge until dinner time!

Not in London, but starting the fast diet here in the states. I’m just finishing up a fast day now, it was hard at times. I feel like I didn’t have my normal happy spirit for my husband and 2 kids today. I’m trying to stay positive, but I think I’ve quit in the past because I don’t want to put myself through the tough beginning. Tell me it gets better!!
Hi Emily and welcome:
The body is quite capable of surviving on 500 calories for a day – the longest documented 0 calorie fast was over 54 weeks. So it really comes down to getting used to eating fewer calories twice a week and understanding that will be no problem.
It gets a lot better – many people report they look forward to their diet days.
Give it a try for a month or two, and you will probably be a life long convert. Here are some tips for those just starting 5:2: http://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/the-basics-for-newbies-your-questions-answered/
Good Luck!
