Hello, I've started 5:2 in the last week and have done 3 fasts this week as I'm going to be away (and no doubt eating more) for the weekend. I've been calorie counting on MFP since early Jan and have lost a stone but I have lots more to lose.

Welcome to the forums!
I am also on my third fast of the week partly for the same reasons as yourself. How are you finding it? I was wondering whether I could keep up 3 days a week but it feels a bit too much like dieting...I seem to have 'forgotten' about the cake and nice food I enjoyed yesterday!

Thankyou for the welcome. 
Well I found the first two pretty easy but yesterday was hard; I really craved sugar/carbs I think and nothing seemed to fill me up which was a contrast to the first two. I'd only had a (substantial) salad the night before and I don't think that helped. In future I'm going to avoid fruit on fast days unless I have spare calories to play with. I'm toying with the idea of doing 4:3 half of the time and seeing how it goes.
