Any success stories using the 5:2 diet plan?

I've been on it five and a half weeks - I've done 6 weeks' worth of fast days, although I missed one fast day in Week 4 as I was away. I fast Mondays and Wednesdays and truly do eat (and drink!) normally on the other days. I've lost 5 kilos so far. My first fast day was Monday 28 Oct and now it's Thurs 5 Dec. This is by far the best regime ever. It's becoming a way of life for me. I can spend my whole weekend saying Yes, not No. And still lose weight, and I feel so healthy as well. I have been, at my worst, nearly 90kg (I'm a 172cm tall female, strong and muscly as I do heaps of sport, but still carrying way too much weight). When I started 5 and 2, I was 85kg, which I struggled so hard to get to. Now, after only five and a half weeks, I'm 80kg, with no struggle at all - just a bit of discipline on 2 days a week - to ignore a bit of hunger pain... always knowing that the very next day, you can eat normally. On my fast days, I've sorted out what suits me... Skip brekky, have a banana and an apple for lunch, and for dinner, I have 4 x 26 cal crispbreads, two topped with 1/2 slice cheese and tomato, two topped with cream cheese spread, plus a carrot. It feels like a banquet!!! That all works out at about 480 cals for the day. Easy. I say - the 5 and 2 is astoundingly good. Go for it!

I started the fast diet on April 1st 2013 and am still going. So far I've lost 29 lbs with minimal and I mean minimal exercise. It was too cold and then too hot and my son got married in July so there was little time. Then it got colder and I got lazy. ( I walk around a school track. ) I've lost inches around my waist and arms and thighs and everyone has noticed. I fast Mondays & Thursdays. I tell my body that I can have the cake or whatever I'm craving when I wake up, and normallyI never crave that thing as much the next day. I plan to start walking again seriously. It's the longest time I've ever lasted on any diet and the one that has worked best for me.
