hi
i started trying to lose weight 8 weeks ago (23/1/13) and the scales this morning said I have lost almost 18lbs.
WOW 
I have in the past done WW,SW and Rosemary Connelly, and i would feel hungry all the time and lose around 1/4 -1/2 some weeks and a stone would take between 3-6 months and by then i would be so fed up and disheartened i would give up
this WOL is great - for me - i dont feel particularly hungry on fast days till mid afternoon and then quell that with a cup of miso / bouillon
i have noticed that i am starting to feel full quicker and i eat slower too but it is hard to reach my tdee on feed days - i seem to be averaging around 70-90% but am not complaining
just needed to share this somewhere as i have told freinds etc that i am trying to lose weight

It just goes to show how effective 5:2 is, especially at changing eating habits and yet not making us feel deprived.
