Can I do it?!

Hi all

I'm Sarah (as my username would suggest!) and am considering trying the 5:2 diet. I've tried pretty much every diet going apart from a fasting one, so far.

I had my baby boy, Cole, on NYE 2013 and initially set myself a target of being at goal (4.5 stone away) by his first birthday. Didn't go to plan, although I did lose all my 30lbs of pregnancy weight within 4 weeks. I'm still at the weight I was when I found out I was pregnant and I'm not happy there. We've decided to try for another baby from Cole's 2nd birthday (NYE 2015) so I've got just over a year to lose the 4.5 stone. It took us a few years to get pregnant with Cole as I have PCOS so hopefully if I can get to a healthy BMI it may not be so hard next time as my BMI was 35 last time.

Any hints, advice, tips etc would be gratefully received! Xx

I have no idea about the diet, hope someone can comment on the fasting bit for you.
I'm in it with you I will start on the 5 th and will prob fast on Monday and Wednesday.
We can do it.

P.s we are going to TTC next December too eeeek xx

Ooh yay, a diet buddy! I'm thinking Monday and Friday. I'll be working mon tues and wed so will fast one work day and one day off. We definitely can do it! Just need some food ideas for the fasting days. Thinking soups!!

Eek, excited for you! Ours is dependant on having the car paid off but we're on a mission. It'll either be just before Christmas or new year that the coil comes out. I'm just telling myself before Christmas as from Thursday it's 'this year'. Xx

I'm thinking maybe ww ready meals and bags of salad, maybe those sushi boxes something already counted pretty much xx
