Hello everyone,
It’s been 1 whole year since Coda started this series of monthly challenges and so many of us have had each other’s amazing support to start and continue on our 5:2 journey. So it’s a privilege to say the least, to be leading the May challenge with such a wonderful bunch of people from all corners of the globe 🙂
So, here’s how this works (same as it has always been):
1. Start your daily post with the day of the month, where you are from, and if you’re on a fast day (FD) or a non-fast day (NFD) (e.g. for 1st of May it would go something like “Day 1 | London UK | NFD” for me).
2. Give a quick intro about yourself in the very first post – mostly for the benefit of the newbies. A brief blurb about your journey so far and what you aim get from this way of life (WOL). Also your starting weight and any other measurements (waist, hip, bust etc) you aim to keep track of throughout the month. I will record this on the spread sheet
3. You can add any comments/questions/moans/whinges/triumphs… or any thing you feel like you want to share with the rest of the forum. We’ll all have good days and bad days, days we fall off the wagon and days when we hang in there for dear life… so if you want to share it – post it. Recipes, tips, tricks and questions can also be shared – most of us are logged on at one time or another can clarify things, offer advise, support etc when needed – this is the great thing about this global forum, there’s always someone online!
4. I will check the posts daily and tick each person off on the spreadsheet, also specifying if it s a FD/NFD/etc. I will also record your weight/dimensions (hip/waist/bust) at the beginning and end of the challenge – then publish the gains, losses and maintenance details after the challenge has finished.
Over the course of these monthly challenges, there have been small groups doing their own mini-challenges – called ‘pocket fasters’ or ‘pocketeers’ – they set them selves a target of a 0-cal/24h/48h fast and support each other through it. Anyone can join one of these groups or start a mini pocket fast – it’s entirely optional and flexible.
Any questions or anything unclear – please ask.
Good luck everyone!
