Just started the 5:2 and feeling positive. I’m 5’1″ with about 1 stone to lose. My partner is 5’11” and naturally slim – ugh! Am trying this diet to lose my excess weight but also for the promised health benefits. I just cannot put my mind to calorie counting every day as I just don’t seem to have that willpower any more. Third week in and all going well. Determined not to weigh myself until one calendar month is up! My clothes do feel a bit looser but, hopefully, its not all in my mind. Time will tell. Look out for updates.
