The FastDay Forum

Just wanted to praise 5-2 and to reassure any wrinkleys that being over 60 is no reason (excuse) not to start this diet.

I am 62, my husband 65 - we started the diet on 4/1/14.

So far - he has lost 12lb!!! I have lost 5.5 lb and we have no wish to find it again.

The fasting is quite easy and very do-able and yes as everybody is saying the next,and the following days you dont crave food - I think I understand the science behind it - but dont care it's working

His goal is 18lb and me 10lb - bring it on and come you oldies it is the 'new garlic bread' - but not on your fast day!!!

Hi @denisemorley and welcome to the forum!

So glad 5:2 is working well for you and your husband. Love "the new garlic bread"!

There is a special thread for 'sassy seniors' where I'm sure you'll fit right in, because you seem pretty sassy to me! Here's the link to it: fastonbury-glamping-grounds-f34/seniors-sanctuary-t9018.html


PS I just edited your post so it wasn't all in capitals because according to online etiquette typing in capitals is like shouting! Hope that's OK!

Welcome to the forum Denise! Sounds like you and hubby are having wonderful success with this Way of Eating (WoE). And as Caroline said join in on the Sassy Seniors tent, lots of like minded people here on this forum.

Hi @denisemorley And Welcome
Glad you and your OH have found us and this WOL is working, Yes from another "wrinkly" who is doing very nicely indeed on 4:3 pop into " Sassy Seniors Sanctuary" and join in the fun.

Hello from me too and welcome. have you filled in the progress tracker? it's a fabulous tool that @Moogie has developed for us.
Irritating, isn't it, that we seem to lose it slower than the menfolk? But lose it, we do!
