Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!

If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!

Hi guys.
Just joined the forum and thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm Jenny, a mum of two, previous yo-yo dieter and pasty chef.
I've been on the 5:2 diet for almost 5 weeks (this week's weigh-in tomorrow) and in the first 4 weeks I have lost 4lbs.
I am finding it SO easy to stick to, despite the occasional feelings of guilt when I indulge on feeding days left over from previous diets.
I really think this can be a way of life for me and I'm hoping to lose 2-3 stone.

Hello JennyH10. Welcome to the forum.

I am into my third week of this WOE and, like you, am having trouble with feelings of guilt if I eat anything forbidden on my many previous diets!
It is working for me and my husband is doing it too, which makes life a great deal easier. I have found this forum very friendly and informative and hope that you continue to do well with your weight loss. Keep us informed!

Maintaining at 147 pounds (in theory)!

The 2017 Christmas Challenge is gone but my aims remain the same! They are:-
1. Remain on track to get back to my target weight of 147 pounds
2. Get at least twenty minutes of walking, on at least five days per week
3. Allow myself only one 'sweet treat' on non-fasting days.
4. Cook dinner 'from scratch' at least five days per week
