First day on 5:2

[IWannaGoToMarz]

Hi all, posting for a bit of support. Today is my first day of 5:2.

I'm 4ft 11" and weigh 13st 3lb so very overweight. I have no excuse, I eat too much, mostly out of boredom. I am hoping to learn myself how to accept and live with hunger and boredom.

I cycle everywhere. I have scheduled my fast days for Monday and Thursday. Today I have had breakfast which was yoghurt and melons, kiwi and pineapple which totalled 260 calories. I ate a breakfast because I cycle for an hour to work in the morning so do need the energy.

My dinner tonight is soup which is 230 calories.

If your still around heres a friendly group to help

Are you still following it @IWannaGoToMarz? How are you getting on?

Hi, yes I am! I fasted yesterday. I've lost 4lbs!

I am finding it quite tough though and yesterday went up to 650 rather than 500. I pulled a muscle in my back rowing the day before and was caning painkillers, doing it on an empty stomach made me feel rancid.

Come over to that ^^ thread marz, we’re a friendly bunch. I’d go for more protein-rich breakfasts personally, keep you going longer. I have been 5:2ing for 7/8 months now, am nearly at maintenance stage and very happy with this way of eating, I hope it works for you too.
