Hi, here to subscribe!

I have read people do different ways with some counting and being quite strict on up days and yet the 5:2 book seemed to say eat what you want when you want? I wonder if it makes much of a difference to loss or if the variety keeps the body guessing? have you ever noticed?

Sounds like you have a really great plan for the next 5 weeks! I've never quite managed the not weighing but this it would be such a helpful move! I've been absolutely awful for a while now and have decided I'm going to really hit this head on - possibly do 3 days a week fasting if I feel up to...

Love the diary and keep up the good work :)

I was wondering what everyone does when they have a day that goes haywire with food - do you attempt to point it/write off all your weeklies or draw a line under it and carry on with what points are there? i don't want to use today as an excuse to fall off plan altogether or til my points...

thank you for your take on it Foxtrot, x

Do you think that your less hungry on non fast days now? I read that that was a benefit of the 5:2 plan?

Good luck for weigh in, sometimes ita when you think you haven't done well that you get a pleasant surprise?

I really understand what a few of you are saying on here, I seem to jump from diet to diet without ever really finding what works for me? I can see why each different way is good but can't seem to stick to any?

Well done on the losses! X

I have previously looked into the 5:2 diet but became concerned when I read that in some people it caused problems with their hormones and menstrual cycle? Sorry it's quite a personal subject but I was wondering if anyone had any experience or opinions on this...

Well done so far! I love the look of 5:2 and think I'll have a proper look at the information on it!

Love the idea of this, had a small op last week but hoping to be able to exercise as of Sunday and will plan to start then!

There are a couple of really good websites that will provide you with your BMR and also your TDEE which you can then subtract a percentage from for weight loss - this might help to make sure you don't drop your calories too low?

I love that poem, think we all forget how important those one pounds are when they add up!

I really enjoy running and road cycling but finding the Scottish winter has hindered this a bit! Hoping to be able to get back out again soon! I love how much more toned it lets me feel but also extra calorie allowance!

Good luck, I joined class last night and have between 1.5 to 2 stone to lose! Starting plan today and excited, we will do great I'm sure! X

I am restarting class tomorrow night, decided to pay a block in advance as that'll give me the push to go every week and hopefully avoid slip ups!

Been ttc for a year now doctor thinks weight loss may help (I'm 11st, bmi 29) so would love some support! X

Good luck to you both, that's me completed my first week fully on plan! Lost weight 5 years ago counting but gained after my son 2 years ago, but know that it definitely works if I can just stick to it! Good luck

It's always good to hear that we can continue eating chocolate, in moderation, and see the results we so desperately want!

I'll just need to get replying more! Thank you for telling me though! I'm trying to keep my calories low enough to lose well but not so strict that I can't keep doing it? And realising that I'll need to stay in control of my intake even when I get to maintenance mode?

Can I just ask steff what calories you were on to lose the weight and what you are now maintaining at? I haven't been able to find your diary as I'm too new, xx

I don't think there anything I can say to really help but just want to send virtual hugs? Hope you find something that works for you in the long term, x

Hi all, I (re)started calorie counting this week after visiting my doctor and being told to lose weight! I lost a few stone by counting 5 years ago and kept it off until I had my son, but since him have messed about between diets and binging! The difficult bit is definitely getting your head...

Thank you for putting up this post as I have a few stone to lose and am hoping I may be able to conceive my second child if I lose the extra! You have an amazing attitude to the whole situation and will be an amazing mum no matter how it happens for you! Good luck, xxx
