Hello all and a very Happy New Year to you. This is not a New Year’s Resolution because I never get through them. This hopefully is the start of a very healthy new life, including the added bonus of losing this weight that drags me down. My daughter has been doing this regime for 6 months and she is absolutely glowing with health and vitality, and that’s where I want to go. I will winge, and cry abd do your heads in, but, I am empathetic and understand where you are coming from too and thus I have a good ear. Good luck all.

Hello fellow Aussies! I’m from the gold Coast (Qld). Been doing 5:2 since September. I LOVE it! I’ve had a steady loss of around .5kg a week….til Christmas , put on a bit, but didn’t stress because I knew it would come right off again as soon as I went back to it. I had about 12 kg to lose, down 6.5 , half way! SO excited!
Good luck guys, there are plenty of tools (I mean that nicely! ) on this site, and lots of people to help you and answer questions. Don’t rush… enjoy the journey 🙂

So nice to hear your success stories. It will be a pleasure seeing you all get healthier and looking more fabulous than I’m sure you already are. I wish all my fellow Aussies so much happy smiles and showing those critics in our lives that we have found the thing that works and not just another fad being shoved down our throats.

Well I’ve nearly got through the first fast day. Lots of water, splitting headache all day, more water seemed to relieve it but succumbed to 2 iboprofen. 2 small white peaches over the day and 2 cups of soup. All good until I saw Brad Pitt hogging into a burger, then the hunger pangs started. Thats what I get for watching sexy men lol. But seriously ok a bit peckish but hoping sleep grabs me soon. Night all and thanks again for the supportive comments 🙂

Aussienetty, I had a few bad head aches when I stopped drinking lots of coffee. I felt really ill 🙁 Now its fine, I only have one in the morning, and one around 10am. Fast days get easier, too. Seems like you blitzed it! Bet you’re looking forward to weigh day 🙂

Headaches are a problem for me too on fast days, I’m hoping they get easier. Sounds like you’re doing great though, stay positive 🙂 Its a non fast day for me today, and wierdly I’m not actually hungry yet. Fasting tomorrow 🙂

Good luck everyone!

Hey guys, my husband and I have been doing 5:2 since Sept last year. I had lost 6 kgs to Xmas but have since put 1 back on. I used to watch everything I ate and count calories but now only do on fast days. I do think I eat a lot more on non fast days now but it hasn’t seemed to stop me from losing weight. Now I’m over the excitement of something new and the intiti weight loss I do feel like fast days have become a huge chore so am really back on forums now to try and remotivate myself to make it through the day. Best of luck to everyone!

Thanks Lindanaf, not sure blitzing is the right word, but much appreciated. 2nd day fast today and about to sleep. Made it with about 380 calories. Feeling proud. Thanks for the support Dragonfly. No headaches today. 🙂

Do you know anyone personally that has done a good job on 5:2? My daughter has done brilliantly and she looks so beautiful. . So I just think of her or look at her photo when I feel a bit off. Good luck and hang in there. You’ve proved you can do it.
