The FastDay Forum

Hi

My wife and I have recently started the 5:2 diet having watched the telly programme and after reading the book. She wants to lose weight, I don't but I can lose a few pounds without vanishing. I am really joining in to support her and for the other health benefits. We are on week 3 and the weight loss is, shall we say, not immediately apparent. My wife doesn't really do forums, hence me joining and I look forward to perplexing everyone with my/our questions.

Cheers
Tim (insx)

Welcome! There are so many factors in why someone might not be losing weight, it's really hard to say without a lot more information. Carorees is a bit of a guru in this department.

I would personally give it at least a month before you make any judgements on it. I find it so much easier than any diet I've ever been on, because the only deprivation is two days a week. So I don't mind slow weight loss. Plus I feel great and have more energy than before

Why not take a peek around the forum - this question has definitely come up before.

Hello Insx

How nice of you to join in to support your wife. I'm trying to get my other half on board with it but so far no joy I need to get him watching that Horizon programme too I think!

Hope you and your wife have success.

It's a good job I don't need to lose weight, I just put on 1.25 lb and my belt went up a notch. My wife has lost .75 lb this week.
