I have been on the 5:2 for two weeks now. I haven’t weighed myself since I started because I was on my monthly but I did measure my waist this morning and I was down 2 inches!! I was so excited because this program is so doable for me. I hope I have finally found a lifelong way to live. I am 5 ft 4 inches and two weeks ago when I did weigh myself I was 163 lbs. I have done weigh watchers since September of 2013. I did lose 23.7 lbs with that but I am so tired of counting everything I eat so I thought this sounded like a great program to try. I would like to lose another 20 or so pounds and I really think this will do it:) Good luck to all!!
