Last year when Christmas was over and we were looking at the family photos what a surprise to see there were 2 large fat people looking back at us. The weight had crept on over the years and before you know it the scales are almost at 15 stone. What a wake up call that is. No longer able hide the fact that I was seriously over weight, that it didn't matter how much I breathed in there was still this roll of fat lurking. So action was needed and fast. Hubby was creeping up towards a size 40 trouser and I was at size 22.
We discovered the 5:2 and what a wake up that was. Easy to follow, you can eat anything you want within reason and still go out with friends for a meal without having to pick at it. We have been following this for the last year and between us have lost 86lbs.
I have attached a couple of photos that inspire me to keep going and realise how far I have come. I have often been likened to a butterfly as I flit from one thing to another but this must be good as I have managed to follow it for a year.
