Introduce Yourself!

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 there
I'm 39 years old and to be honest I've never felt better
I started the 5:2 in mid October
Started at 15st 11lbs, having peaked at one point at 16st 5lbs
I had a little plateau and a blip at Christmas, and I'm having another at the moment. I blame Easter and the fact Lent finished and I'm able to eat chocs, sweets, cakes and puddings again.
I've put 1.2lbs on again over the last 2 weeks but I'm at 13st 9.2lbs, with my lowest being 13st 8lbs.
I have set my self a target or reaching 12st 11lbs and then settling and maintaining 13st 1lb

I look forward to exploring the forum......

Hi Alan and welcome to the forum!

Looks like you've got it well sorted out now and it's good to hear that you are not panicking about occasional plateaus/gains.

Enjoy your explorations, the forum has a lot of stuff on it to investigate! We particularly like the progress tracker. If you have your historical information you can put that in and get a graph of your progress so far, if not, you can at least get a graph of progress from now onwards. We'd really appreciate it if you would input your data as we have so few men who are tracking progress.

See you around!
Welcome from one Newbie to another - what I find fascinating about this forum is that people are so helpful and supportive. It seems that everyone is adapting the 5:2 plan to suit their lifestyle which I think is a major factor when it comes to improving one's health on a long term basis.
