Just joined tonight. In need of encouragement from like wise people wanting to lose weight. I have 5 stone to lose....and have just started the 5:2 fasting way of eating. It's going well, and I am now realising how large my portions had got without me really noticing..
That's all for now

Hi Katie! You'll find lots of support here. Take a look around and jump right in! Good luck!

Hi Katie and welcome. I used to live in Havant. And I have lost 7 stone so far. You'll like it here and get lots of support!

Is the 5:2 diet the one where you try to eat a lot less on 2 days during the week? If so then that's one I just heard of last week for the first time. I'm doing calorie counting, but sometimes try to focus on eating a little less 2 of the days (some may call it calorie cycling though the way I do it. I find I don't get as hungry even though I eat the same amount of calories by the end of the week).
Anyways WELCOME! Come jump in a challenge when you're ready
