I forgot to say in my other entry that I started the 5:2 diet reluctantly. I have like many others done EVERY diet on the planet and was at the stage in my life were I was bored and fed up with my yo yo dieting over the last 30 ish years. However my daughter was getting married in August 2013 so I started the diet in February. It's a good job I did as the weight loss was slower than I expected. However the thing that kept me going more than anything was my husband Simon. He suggested and started the diet with me. I am competitive and I couldn't let him lose weight and me stay the same. He lost it a lot quicker than me, 2 stone in 4 months. I was proud of him. But if I'm being honest I was also a bit peeved at his steady weight loss and how easy he found it .grrrrrrrr. Anyway he kept me motivated and I am still going thanks to him! He looks amazing and is now off his blood pressure tablets for the first time in five years . Amazing! So thank you my Hubby, for kicking my a** Lol

Hi, I haven't wrote anything on here as I just got on with my diet? I started in February this year and have lost approximately 21 lbs. overall I am happy, although I would have liked to be at my target weight by now ( another stone hopefully). However I haven't stayed on aDiet for this long so overall this is the one for me. I fast on a monday and a Wednesday every week? I just had A few weeks off in the summer. I fast about 22 hours and just eat at tea time. Although I do drink lot's of tea with milk during the day which helps to keep me going. I love it when I go to bed on a Wednesday as that's my fasting finished until Monday. I am quite good during the week overall ( eating approximately. 1300 cals) however from Friday to Sunday I eat thousands! This has helped me to stay on the diet, it is so liberating. I do need to reduce my calorie intake a bit more now though as I have plateaued for the past month! I highly recommend this diet to anyone. I have struggled for 35 years to keep...
