I fasted 5:2 style for about a year and managed to lose the weight I wanted. After that time I couldn't fast an...

Thanks for the warm welcome...... It took a while for Admin to approve the post, so I apologize for missing these responses.... I have been staying pretty true to the cause and have only had 1 bad day where I completely blew my time frame and calorie restrictions. Scale said 235 this morning, so 20 ...

Hello my name is Abi & ive been fasting on and off ever since the Horizon programme first aired. I've been at my lowest weights when I've stuck to the 5:2 way of eating 100% combined with exercise and felt great, then things get in the way & I fall off the wagon. I am a really bad emotional ...

Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate everyone's support. You chaps are the only ones who totally understand all the highs and lows and just what the daily temptations are. On top of that, you all somehow have much more faith in me than I do myself - and that is lovely to know and read about!...

can't believe I am actually doing this, day 3 done and dusted. I know I'll have difficult days sometimes but I think I can handle them. A few weeks ago I said if I did the BSD I'd be bingeing by the end of the week. Not going to happen, I just know I can do this. I had baked Mackerel with runner bea...

Hi All, feeling much better now, 2 women came into our shop separately and asked our manager what she'd been doing as she has changed shape so much. They both really wanted 5:2 details and have gone with all the info to get started. ....One in particular was especially keen to watch the Horizon docu...

The idea for this post arose in the recent weight loss challenge (regarding the international date line) when I realized where I'd been in the world in terms of being the farthest north, farthest south, farthest east and farthest west. You'll need access to a globe to do this correctly. To post you...

Hi fellow Silver one (I'm 67 too)-- Congratulations on the good hair genes! For whatever reason, I'm missing them and my hair would be the least young part of me --or at least it would be if anyone could see all of it! My husband is a Type A, so I am familiar with what that entails. I, myself, am pr...

I have just watched this and found it very interesting. I don't think MM was very happy with his results. I was also interested on the Mammogram piece. I have heard conflicting reports on mammograms, over diagnosis etc. Are they over diagnosing wrongly or is it a screening that is safe and reassurin...
