To continue the history lesson, in early January, myself, Moogie and various others who had been following DrM on twitter and were members of the facebook groups were all excitedly waiting for the new official website to be launched that DrM had tweeted about. Sadly, when it did launch it did not really solve the problems of the facebook groups, which is to say that although populated by lots of lovely people, the facebook group format does not have all the possibilities for arranging threads, searching etc. The official website did not improve on the facebook group either - there was no way of starting a new thread, just commenting on articles written by Michael or Mimi. I tweeted Dr M saying I felt there was a desperate need for a forum. Then I spotted Moogie had also tweeted him offering to set up a forum and he had replied "please do" so I immediately contacted her and offered to be a moderator if she needed help. Luckily she accepted my application and I have been hardly able to tear myself away from here ever since!

It was so good to connect with other 5:2ers and to be able to chat with other nerdy types and to share our experiences. I have been delighted how the forum has grown and mega-impressed with Moogie's progress tracker! It is really great to have members from all over the world and to see people discovering a new way of life !

There's still lots to do, of course, particularly in trying to work out why some lose weight really easily with 5:2 while others make slow progress. More on this soon I hope.

Got to go now to do a bit of high intensity exercise to boost the weightloss this fast day
