    Yep
    55 and a few pounds overweight.
    High BP too so now on meds but Doc said, lose weight!
    So trying the Fast Diet (or 5-2 diet) - seems to be working and is great as on the 5 days I can do what I like.
    But strangely you don't seem to want to go mad, which is nice.

    I've turned 40 last year - one of my motivations for changing where I was. Have lost 88lbs in the past 5 months and although I've still got a way to go, am loving how I am doing, with gym 3-4 times a week, swimming 2-3 times a week and walking miles each day too :)
