    Hi I started 1st jan on the fast diet 5:2 as usual calorie counting and eating less than 1000 calories a day didn't work. It is helping already. you need to find a method you can stick to for life. Make small changes and take each day at a time. Don't feel bad if you fall off the wagon one day just start again the next day. I've tried to stay positive and do a little exercise each day even a bit of walking is good for you. Hang in there you'll do it. Good luck. :)

    Ruth - it will help to look thru the MOTIVATION AND SUPPORT Discussions to find like-minded people to join in conversations with daily. you might enjoy something like that. They offer plenty of advice and tips that help you along the way and hold you up when you lose steam...
