5:2 is fantastic. Since starting 3 months ago, I have never felt better. I have lost just over 2 stone, my skin is better, my nails are strong and growing for the first time ever, I have more energy...need I go on. The fast days are not difficult, I still eat well lots of salad, veggies and protein and I rarely feel…

you do not got into ketosis with 24 hour fast and eating 500kcal! sorry, mini rant coming. why is everyone on here so worried about sending the body into starvation. That takes a long time, very limited calories over a proglonged period of tme. Also do we really need to worry about the whys and where fors. I lost 20lb, I…

It was 5 weeks not 15, but I guess I have a lot to lose so first few weeks think my body went into shock and chucked out all the retained water! On non fast days I am counting my calories, trying to keep the balance of everything. I have really reduced my carb intake but only to a normal level, was eating far too much…

I am into my 5th week of 5:2 and lost 20lbs of weight (26lbs of fat :)) I dont normally do my fast days consecutively, usually stick with mondays and wednesdays because they tend to be busy days at work and not so much down time to think about eating! The great thing is that you can vary these days each week to fit in with…

Glasgow Rangers are my first love..we will come back fight bigger and better..watch this space ;)

Not trying to troll or whatnot, but couldn't resist passing on the love. J (^^,) [/quote] hey troll ha ha...I try not to shop on fast days if I can help it! sometime needs must,…

wow!!! I cant wait to see the end to my back boobs ha ha!! massive well done

shopping on fast days is hard! I try to avoid weekends for fasting, far to much time to think about food for me. thanks for the friend request, hope we can help keep each other motivated

I am just about to start my 5th week. First week was a little tough but it is definately getting easier. I make sure I am organised on fast days, make a pot of homemade carrot soup (filling and low calories) and take plenty of water out with me to work. So far so good :)

Hi I am doing the 5:2 diet too, I am just about to start my 5th week. The fast days arent so bad and so far the weight loss as been good too. Please feel free to add me as a friend if you would like to share our journeys. Good Luck

Hi, I am in Shropshire, uk looking for friends, please fee free to add me too. I try to get on everyday, I do believe that sharing your experiences high and low with people in the same position is invaluable. I will offer support, motivation and a virtual hug if needed :)

social events with friends..summer time, lots of impromtu BBQ's and get togethers, where food and drink is the focus! I am learning to make better choices its not easy though.

I know you are right, I am settled in for the long journey, ready for the ups and downs, prepared to celebrate each little success until I reach my ultimate goal. My mind set is changing and self discpline increasing :) thank you

AMAZING!!!! you should be very proud of yourself

wise words. I dont have much time for superficial people and those who want me to be someone else and cant accept me for me. I never let those people bring me down. I have and always will make changes for me and my son to make us happier not as a reaction to some hurtful comment or action from a negative person. I always…
