So, I'm starting 5:2 today after being a member of slimming world for some time. Slimming world does work, I just feel that I am fed up with counting syns and worrying about over eating on pasta etc. I would rather count calories and watch portion sizes so that I can gradually lose weight and get healthier. I'm fed up of worrying if one week I don't lose weight because it is displayed to a whole group. I'm hoping that 5:2 will help me lose weight and be generally healthier!

Anyway, I'm starting today on a fast day, I would love some friends for support and inspiration. Please add me! I'm 20 years old from Chester, UK.

    Hi, I've also just started the 5:2 today! I live in Spain but am originally from the UK. Feel free to add me :-)
  • I've started my first day today using phentermine and have zero people support so I understand. Looking forward to hearing about your weekly success!
  • Hi all,

    I started it yesterday and while I found it tough it was manageable. The great news is today I can eat :D and I haven't even been too bad. Hope it's going well for you all.. I tried to save as many as my calories for the evening as that's when I want to pick and lots and lots of water. Other than that i'm a newbie too.. good luck with it :)

    Welcome to MFP, and I hope you experience is as great as mine has been here so far. I've tried a lot of different ways to track my diet and exercise and this has by far been the most effective. The peer support really helps as well. You or anyone else who is serious about helping and being helped to achieve your goals may feel free to add me.

    There is a group about 5.2, perhaps have a look there? They must have loads of experience & tips..
