    Hey there, I'm 67 and been overweight for about 10 years. Was 110 lbs when I married my husband in 1994 and vegetarian, so kept my weight maintained. My husband is an extremely good cook and got me onto meat and all that goes with it, so gradually year by year I went up a few pounds. Lost 2 stone 5 years ago on the Atkins diet and ended up having my gall bladder out because all the fat I ate turned to cholesterol and therefore, gave me gall stones.After putting the weight back on I went to Curves and on the high protein low fat diet and lost it again and lost 2 stone again. Then we went to the States and spent some time with my sister in law, no chance over there, everything is huge and we lived on chardonnay, cocktails and the most wonderful Mexican food. So came back with extra weight. Have halfheartedly been trying to cut down but binging now and again did not help. I found the 5:2 diet end of last year and \i have never looked back. 12lbs lighter and no deprivation and am really confident on this one. Look in topics 5:2 diet and see for yourself. Good luck :wink: :flowerforyou:
