Hi guys and gals

Just wanted to pop in and say hello.. I started on Wednesday and my approach is to have two normal days followed by a fast day so the pattern remains the same subject to social events, birthdays etc.

The reason I did this is because after my first day it felt bad to be eating normally for the whole weekend and just do two days in the week.. so I did yesterday as well.

I have loadsssssssssss to lose. I had cancer 5 years ago and I figured if I was going to die (sorry to be so blunt but that’s how I felt), I wasn’t going to restrict eating. I did however shift from all ready meals and start cooking everything (mostly) from scratch.

My first two days have gone absolutely fine.. headache first day but not yesteray when I drank more. I have done diets before .. more than I care to mention but have never been this heavy so I’m gonna be hear for a long old time if I can keep it up.

I recently left work to start a dog boarding / walking business with my partner Dave.. We walk every day so the exercise bit is sorted but I have long periods at home with cupboards for temptation.

When I work it out I will post up targets / loss etc. but we are talking 8-9 stone to lose (eek).

I look forward to reading everyone’s posts and being part of the forum.
