hi
i have been properly trying to lose weight since mid Jan using MFP and have had some success but after reading a lot about the 5.2 diet i thought i'd give that a try
i saw the documentary last year but had just had major surgery and wanted to just give myself recovery time
i can now start excercising again
and do 2 60min zumba classes, walk for about 3 hours a week and had my first semi serious fast day on thursday and found it relatively easy so am gonna go for it properly next week, tues and thurs as i zumba on monday lunch and i know the recommendation is not to fast on consecutive days
i am 5'8, and started the year at 14.13 and am now down to 14.6 already, am 45yo.
in the past i have tried all the usual diets WW, SW etc and stuck to them for while but only ever losing 1/2lb a week so it was very disheartening and never really fitted with our lifestyle of going out on a saturday night for a few drinks and sunday lunch for a pub meal
anyway - sorry to have waffled on, hope to be here often if not posting definately lurking and reading
