My dear fellow FastDay-followers, My apologies for being mostly a silent reader of the forum – the main reason being “being very busy at work”…. But, I owe you an update – and be it only to say thank you for the motivation and great insights I am still getting here! I have been maintaining …

My story is probably a very familiar one with lots of people. My problem with weight started after I had my three sons when I put on a stone with each one!

I was a snug Size 26 now size 18 – 6st 10lb loss so far!

I look forward to continuing this way of eating for the rest of my life… It’s by far the best change I’ve made to my diet.

I class myself as a work in progress and 5:2 will be a lifelong commitment for me.

I keep faithfully fasting, almost always 3 times a week.

I just know that 5:2 is a way of life for me and it has taught me to really appreciate food. It has changed my life for the better resulting in me being a happier, confident and slimmer lady!

5:2 has changed my life and my new Husband has a happy, healthy wife.

If you are thinking of trying this, do it, you have nothing to lose but weight and ailments.

Our bodies are built to fast and feast. 5-2 is not a diet or a fad, it is a way of life!

Intermittent fasting is straightforward, flexible, forgiving, and gratifying. What’s not to like?

My biggest tip is to find the right headspace before you start…I think once your thoughts are in the right place, everything else follows.

“It’s been so unbelievably simple, but fasting has totally changed my life, my relationship with food and my size.”

“It doesn’t feel like a diet.”

“Such a good and easy way to eat and way to lose weight!”

“Control for me and my weight, health benefits for a lifetime.”

“Fasting has given me the control of food and my weight, which I never had before.”

“I look better than I have since before kids (16 years ago) and feel better than I ever have. I have more energy and feel so empowered by this lifestyle!”
