Hello! I am not new to MFP but has been a long time since I've been on here. I managed to lose nearly 30lb but have put on 9 over the last few months and am struggling to stay on track so I'm looking for new friends to start the 5:2 diet. I have never done it before and know it's going to be a challenge so really need the support. Thanks, Gemma xx

    Yes lots of people.
    There's two 5:2 groups on here - worth joining.

    Hi I've just restarted the 5:2 after losing 18lbs last year and although I haven't put any weight on I would like to lose another 13lbs to take me to my goal weight of 10 stone. Where do I find groups on here for the 5:2 support?

    Lots of information in the link above^

    I do 5:2 - I find that I have to log my maintenance days. The (2) 500 calorie days do get easier. Just plan them in advance.
