I'm another new one just starting today although I watched the Horizon programme last year and thought it a good idea. I've lost 3 stones and have 1 still to go. Am hoping that this plus the exercise I do might knock it on the head!

Wow, well done on losing that weight!

Laughed at your post cos I saw the Horizon programme last year too and thought it was a great idea too. Unlike you I just kept munching away and forgot about it until now.

Hopefully 5:2 will make losing your next stone much easier. Good luck with it

Welcome and congrats on weight loss so far!!!
I think that loosing your last stone with 5{2 is a really great idea as 5 days a week you are eating normally ...not feasting or binging...just normally!!! ...it changes the mind set away from 'bad foods' 'forbidden' foods etc etc and encourages 5 days of eating at the recommended daily allowance which of course encourages portion control and healthy choices.....then you can go on to maintenance....
Did nt see the Horizon prog....I go on diets like other people collect stamps or antiques so would love this one to be the 'full set' ....enjoying it so far ....not in the least bit difficult...only count cals 2 days....actually ate an after eight as they were being passed around the office today and didnt have to say 'no thanks Im on a diet'!!! which was such a breath of fresh air!!
