My NY resolution was to join this forum. I confess that I have been lurking here almost daily since April 2013! Time to come out of hiding.
My name is Merry, and I am another Melbourne-ite. In 2016 I will be turning 60, so that event is motivation for me to keep on track this year.
My 5:2 journey so far: I am a short people tent candidate, at just 5ft tall. I started 5:2 in April 2013 at 116lbs, and reached my goal of 100lbs in 6 months. I did standard 5:2 - with just small lunch and then dinner. I maintained around 100 - 102lbs by still do 5:2 - but having a few more treats. Around mid 2015 I fell off the wagon a bit, and after this silly season I am up to 106lbs. And it shows! Tight and lumpy clothes.
My resolution in joining the forum is take part in conversations, and be accountable through my tracker so that I can reach 60 in better shape.
I have really enjoyed reading all your posts and following your journeys. This forum has given me so much support and good ideas, which has been so helpful. 5:2 forever!
May 2016 bring you all happy 5:2ing!
cheers
Merry
P.S. Could someone help me with how to load an avatar? I have some 100x100 images on my PC that I could use, but can't see how to load an image from my PC. Thanks!!
