Hi all 🙂

Today is my first fast (but third attempt at 5:2 after couple of false starts)
It’s been all right but I can’t wait to get to bed so breakfast comes sooner!

Last time I did this I gave up after 1 week as I’d put a pound on, probably because I was over-eating on my feast days. But this time will be different!

I called my post Secret Slimming because I’m the girl that’s on a new diet every day, my bf is fed up of my constantly going on about it, and colleagues laugh at me for it. So this is my little project and no one will know until they can see a difference! I will not talk negatively about my body to them or mention dieting or weight loss…gosh I’ll have to think about something else to talk about!

I am aiming to keep a food diary every day and to eat healthily on my non-fast days- lately I’ve been trying to reduce the sugar in my diet and I do feel better so that will be a goal as will eating more fresh food. I don’t want to ruin all my hard work on my days off.

Starting at 10 stone 7 aiming for around 9 stone 12.

Wish me luck, I’m off to catch up on your stories 🙂

Hi lasttenpunds and well done on your determination. I’m sure your right that you will achieve you weight loss on this WOL. Just remember every fast day is just one day, if you don’t have a great day there is always tomorrow and even if the scales don’t move as quickly as you like you are doing good things for your body by fasting. Make sure you take all your body measurements regularly, even if the scales don’t move one week you will be amazed at your changing shape.

Good luck.

Hi lastenpounds! I’m totally new to this forum, I just registered a moment ago, but I really like your post and am exactly the same as you with regards to keeping it a secret. I intend to do the same, and wait for peoples reactions! Good luck 🙂 I am starting properly tomorrow, and am ready to kick ass in December! We can do this 🙂 🙂 🙂 Take care

Thanks jenklar and dragon fly, I survived fast one and it wasn’t too bad. I’m trying hard not to eat everything in sight today but I feel skinnier already and keep telling myself not to ruin my hard work. Got a party tomorrow night but will try and not eat much during the day to limit the damage. Next fast day is Monday. Good luck! We can do this indeed!

Dragon Fly, good luck on your first fast day; just starting (and staying at the 5:2 WOE) will be a benefit for your health and weight, so don’t look back, look ahead!

Hello all,

I have tried many ways of losing weight and have done so successfully only to put it all back on ( and a little more!)! My husband is probably fed up with the number of diets I have done and friends fed up with me going on about my weight! I do not have a lot to lose (between 8 and 10 pounds would be good) but am also happy for inches to go rather than weight as I do exercise between 6-8 times a week! I am starting tomorrow and hoping that I get support and motivation from this site! Will keep you updated! 🙂

Thank you bigmarie. Also forgot to ask you if you save your 500 cals for the evening meal or do you have breakfast and dinner?

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing okay 🙂 I’ve had two really successful fast days now, and feel better already! I am also trying to motivate myself to move about more. I went for a long walk yesterday, and feel so positive right now. I’m on an eat normal day today, but dont actually feel too hungry yet. I will probably keep my cals as low as I can, but its so nice to know I can eat more if I need to. Have a good day everyone! You are amazing 🙂 x
