Hi all, I'm a newbie :)

Hi everyone

I'm going to start my first fast day tomorrow!

My name is Annie (aka Mettamezzo), I'm 51 years old and over the last year or so the belly fat has begun to take over - aaaaaaah!! I'm hoping that by changing my dietary habits I'll be able to gain control over my spreading waistline, get my sugar and cholesterol levels within healthy limits and hopefully feel a whole lot better :-)

My weight has fluctuated over the years, I lose a stone and a half and then slowly it creeps back and I lose it again. It would just be lovely to stay on an even keel.

I had my blood sugar and cholesterol levels checked a year ago and both, although not drastically high, could be improved.

I've read Dr Mosley's book from cover to cover and I've found it to be very inspirational, much like the Horizon programme.

It's great to be here and I know I'll be a regular visitor.

Good luck one and all, have a great day.

Annie :)
