Hey everybody
My name is Renata and although I have this account for a couple of years, I just started using so I'm new here
I'm 5'7" and I'm going with 5:2 fasting diet which I absolutely adore, but, sometimes I need a little bit of support and I would really love to have some friends here to help each other
I've already lost 10 pounds but I would like to lose 30 more
Looking forward to hear from you all and keep up the good work

Hi Renata - have you found the two groups for 5:2 fasters?0

Hi Renata
Just started 5:2 this week too.
Bought the book as well, fascinating reading.
I think the combination of this website and 5:2 will help me to succeed after years of unsuccessful dieting.
All the best0 -
I'm glad it's working for you. This is the first diet I tried. I just couldn't stick to it. I may try it again in the future or once in a while for a flush. Add me if you like.0

I'm on the 7:0 program...it's where you eat sensibly for 7 days and fast zero days. You must log your food honestly, maintain a calorie deficit and move your body a few days a week. It works for me and I have lost 26 pounds.0

Hi Renata
I'm the same height as you and I'm looking to lose a bit more still ! Need motivation though cause I keep slipping only fast days!
Think I'm going to check out the groups on 5:2 fasters but I'm here to cheer you on0 -

Has anyone had long term success from this? Seems like once you start eating normally, some weight would come back on, and you would have to go with the current MFP plan or move on to some other fad diet?0

Many people continue to 5:2 after hitting maintence (5 days at a surplus) or switch to 6:1 (6 days at a very small surplus). I've tried both and prefer 6:1.
I don't regard it as a diet in the sense of dieting at all - just a different way of eating.
Have a read for other people's experience:

Hi, I am doing the 5 - 2, or sometimes it's the 6 - 1. I try to eat sensibly the other day's and find this site helps.
I have a book by Kate Harrison called the 5 -2 diet book which is really good. I can recommend it.0 -

whatever you do must be long term sustainable, it's a lifestyle, not a diet0 -
