Good evening, I signed up to the forum today and am very impressed by the support and enthusiasm 'out there'. I am in my mid 50's and, like many of you no doubt, have been on and off 'diets' for most of my adult life. I am at a time in my life when weight has become more difficult to shift and I want to get to grips with this before other health issues eg type 2 diabetes become an issue. Like other 5:2 ers I prefer to use the term WOE (way of eating) to 'diet'. I started today and my first fast day is tomorrow. I look forward to swapping progress and tips with you all, Rachel

Good luck tomorrow Rachel. I did my first fast today and I found it much easier than I thought!
hi im on my first fast diet day my partner and i are doing the diet i really need to as i am 50 this year been a yo yo dieter all my life i hate myself for being the way i am i must have lost 3 people in my life time in the weight i have lost so good luck there seems to be lots of help on here , i work nights and bring food in to heat up for myself and partner but he has hardly anything to lose but i have about 6 stone it just seems to take such a long time to lose so hopeful this works for me good luck to you too
Good luck Rachel.
I am in the last year of my 50's and a cancer survivor.
I'm doing it mainly for the health benefits, but would like to get rid of the belly fat that has crept on since the menopause.
I think you might be surprised by how easy the fast days are. Personally I find the eating days more of a challenge, but am giving myself and my body time to work it out.
I don't really feel like eating on a non fast day, but once I start I'm ok.
I agree that the support on here is great.
