I Joined this forum a 16th Feb. On March 16th I weighed myself and have lost 2lbs and 1 inch from my waist.0.5lbs a week is ok by me. I have been experimenting with 5:2 since January doing 24hour fast lunch till lunch next day, my weight was up and down. I had lost 5lbs that I had put on over Christmas but that could be down to getting back to my normal way of eating after the Christmas excess.Three weeks ago I started doing fast days over two sleeps and the scales have showed a small loss. I am 57 yrs old and I think my body may be diet fatigued if there is such a thing after a lifetime of yo-yoing.I have lost 4 stone and reached a plateau before Christmas which led me to try 5:2. I want to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge and experiences, reading these posts have put me back on track again.
