Used to post here a little when I started the diet. Thought I would pop back to let you know that 5:2 does work if you stick to it.
I've gone from 160+Kg to 114kg since 1/1/13 - about 14 months.
My top tips:

My top tips:
- I plan to fast Mon/Wed/Fri and then don't stress if work or family make me drop a day.
- Plan your fast days at the start of the week and be flexible. Going out on Friday? Fast on Saturday instead.
- I eat around late evening on a pre-fast day, then nothing until tea-time next day. Then a 5-600cals meal
- Get a dog and walk it!
- The Hairy Dieters cookbooks are great - both for fast and non-fast days
- Stir-Frys fill you up
- Cauliflower makes a great lo-cal rice substitute
- There is always a cheeseburger tomorrow
- An espresso gets you going on a fast day
- Fybogel also gets you going on a fast day - and has zero cals
