Hi,

I am Peter, I've been following the 5:2 diet for 6 months with great success. I hope I can share some of my experiences and help everyone, lose weight.

I am a Registered Nurse. I hope I will be able to recommend this diet as a good way to lose weight.

Best of luck everyone,
Peter

Thanks for joining us Peter and you will bring an additional professional perspective. Are many (any?) of your colleagues following 5:2 as well?

I haven't heard of any - I'll be interested to meet some more here

Hi Peter welcome. I'm an RGN too!
Have only been doing this for a couple of months so its always interesting to hear from people who have been following 5:2 for a few months. Though being male I expect your weight loss has been quicker than what I'm experiencing not that I'm complaining I love this way of eating.

I don't know how much weight I've lost. I heard that body shape was better guide. I can't get discouraged by not losing weight. So my waist has gone from 108 to 96 cm and hips 110 to 106 cm I was 95 kg near the start. I will weigh myself sometime and find out.

My problem was I always stopped losing weight because I didn't lose weight fast enough. People seem to obsess about weight. It's never fast enough. For me it's important to lose it and keep it off

Hi there. Sooooo glad to have found this forum, good to read other experiences of 5/2. Excellent source of encouragement and support!
