Hello all,
I have just realised that I forgot to check in on April 1st to celebrate my 3rd year fastiversary with you. I am currently 5lb over target because I haven't been paying attention over the winter. I plan to get two fasts a week in until I get back to target and am looking forward to them. I took up running at new year and can now run 5k. I am so glad that I found this forum 3 years ago. I have learned so much, been so encouraged and made many lovely friends along the way. If anyone starting out is unsure, just try it, it's easy and enjoyable once you get going. After all, we all had to start somewhere.

My personal take on 5:2 is;
Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays 5:2 36 hours
Green tea all day then less than 500 calories in one meal in the evening.
16:8 all the other days, wey-hey at weekends and daily weighing
It worked for me sloooowly
Height 5'4"
Goal Achieved after 9 1/2 months and now maintaining
In a fasting mainteneers fivesome with pennyforthem, callyanna, stowgateresident and auriga

I am so glad it worked so well for you. 5 lb is about 2.5 kg, right ? It's a normal range of what a lot of people put on during the winter months so it's a victory. You should be proud, maintaining is the hardest part
