My story 50 weeks on::
This time last year I hadn't even heard of 5:2 I must have been in hibernation because I saw no publicity and missed the horizon programme, then read a comment in
Mimi Spencer's weekly column about her writing a book with Dr M and although I'd just reached the point of giving up on the weightloss game having just had a complete clear out of my smaller clothing and footwear.
I sent for the book and got started right away jumped in with 3 days not even knowing 4:3 existed because I found it so easy and thought I can do this something "clicked " straight away and I knew this is the one!!!
I also restarted my walking just small walks to begin with then later building the length up as I travelled through the summer months.
After a couple of weeks I found this forum
full of (mostly) lovely people kind, helpful, friendly and very informative I've learned so much from this forum which has provided me with the backbone to my weightloss journey.
Shorter version is after 8 months and extremely pleased to have lost 50lbs, (morehan the average weightloss )
However in these last 4 months I've bounced 2kg yo yo
My body does need time to catch up so I've no problem with that, yes ive got frustrated just like so many before me, I'm now at the 51 weeks in stage.
A totally different person far more healthier happier, stronger and fitter woman all because
of £5 book = 4:3 WOL no weekly payments draining my much earned pension!!
And the greatest forum out full of very helpful and very knowledgeable people and yes I'm still learning from each and everyone of you.
My only disappointment along the way is the forum friends we've lost mostly very special people some occasionally popping in now and then some gone forever very sad.
Onwards and hopeful of another 50lbs downwards. Thank-you everyone for your help. Sue♥
