Looking for friends who are Fast 5 Intermittent Fasters...not 5:2. Hope to find some friends to walk this journey with (been at it for almost 2 months).

    I am probably close... and trying to get back to it. I usually have a great week and then the weekend slips me up. Do you fast 5 days and eat 500 calories at supper? Or do you do two days 500 calories and the other days 1200?

    Actually neither. I am doing Fast 5, it is where you eat in the same 5 hour window everyday. You don't count calories. However I do count calories out of habit. I stick to 1200-1400 a day, I just eat it in a few hours. .

    Today was first day and I only made it until noon, ha ha. Dismal. I had to switch my morning coffee with cream to black tea which I am not too happy about.

    Yay! Glad to find another Fast-5er! I'm about a month and a half in, and I've lost 11 lbs so far. I'm very encouraged by the results on the scale and feel better overall.

    Hi!! I'm new to Fast5 and I'm hoping it works! Only been trying it for two weeks and I must say I stay in my window pretty well, that's not the problem. I've found that I overeat during my window...not everyday but I slip up. And found that I've gained 3lbs that I lost doing 5:2. I'm switching from 5:2 because it's very hard for my brain to wrap around the fact that I can only have 500 calories so I very rarely was successful. But 19:5 is easy for me...at least until the last 1 1/2 hours and then I really have to focus! LOL...so feel free to add me if you like. I'm skeptical right now, but I' m hoping with all my might that this works. Gaining 3lbs the first two weeks makes me an unhappy camper! :)
