Just an fyi. I’m okeydokeys husband and all around towel expert. I’ve been doing the 5-2 for about 3 .5 months now and I’m down about 20 us pounds/ 1.4 stone.

Count me in!

And Ford Prefect – love it. I’m reading HGTTG to my sons right now.

In for April too. Started 3 weeks ago. FD today- also went for a long walk- tired girl this evening. London was glorious today.

Count me in for April – and thank you so much for taking on the challenge. We are a rowdy bunch, ya know !

Thankyou okeydokey for creating this April challenge. @lethally, I am from the Waikato,NZ. Still pretty warm up here. Another storm last night with heavy rain and high wind. Fine today but more bad weather heading our way.Its been a very wet not so hot summer in the Waikato.

Hi I’m in 😊
Thanks for hosting xx

Please count me in for April. This month is going to be my kickstart back into losing again I just know it!

Hi- I’m new to this. I’ve tried other diets and they all seem to complicated. I’m a fairly healthy eater, but eat too much. I don’t have a lot to lose, but nonetheless, I just can’t seem to lose the 10 lbs. I’m planning on starting in April and could really use the support. One concern I have is I’m back in the workforce after many years home with kids. It will be hard to function if I have headaches, faintness, etc. Do you feel awful on this diet? Any tips for the first week? Thanks everyone and good luck!

@okeydokey – add me in for continued maintenance. Hard to believe I’ve been on 5:2 for just over a year and began with @coda on the May ’16 challenge, been on them ever since! Thank you so much for taking the reins, and nice to meet your OH @fordprefect.

Please count me in for April. Had started in January but fell off the wagon. I am back on the diet from today.

Hello @okeydokey

THANK YOU for hosting the 30 Day April 2017 Challenge

Please count me in for the April Challenge – my goal remains to keep below my target weight of 55kg – so I’m aiming to be a happy maintainer for a 5th month 😁

Welcome onboard to your OH aka @fordprefect!!

It will be lovely seeing many old “faces” here and also to welcome so many new ones…..

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!

Hi, thanks for hosting.

I am in for April. My aim Is to stick to the 5/2 for 6 weeks. I am suffering with a bad back and feel about 104, it’s time to try something new.

Today will be FD 1

Hi can I join I’m in sunny Derbyshire in U.K. I’m 65 and it’s my first FD today :Monday 27th March. I’ve tried 5:2 before in 2013 and slid off the wagon. I’m hoping I can do it this time – I’m more settled in my life. In everything I read, all the evidence points to fasting for weight loss and health and avoiding all those scary age related things like Alzheimer’s, which my mum has and her two sisters – even though I know it’s not hereditary, I want to do my best to not put myself in the firing line for it by doing my best to keep healthy, slim and fit
My husband has been doing 5:2 since 2013 and now maintains his weight. He swears by it, Me? I’ve tried to do it with him and and as I say gave up and since then have dallied with all sorts of plans, diets and no diets, putting weight on in the process and hoping that it would all disappear through osmosis – well, guess what? It didn’t: nothing has worked!!

So here I am determined to give it a good go. I’ve like the idea of a monthly challenge to keep me going

Yay, it’s up! Very much looking forward to April. Midway-through I will meet my sister for Easter/my birthday in London but on all the other days, weekdays and weekends I shall observe 5:2 (or rather 4:3 these days).

Thanks, @okeydokey, for hosting us! I’ll post starting and goal weights on 1 April.

What a great idea, sign me up! Thanks for hosting!!! Will post on April 1.

March went well (apart from the Mothers’ Day blip), so please count me in. My aim is to loose an average of 1lb a week. Not ambitious, I know, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on me and just have a slow downward trend which I think I can manage. And I hope a slow but sure weight loss will mean it will stay off better, or at least I’ll be able to maintain it better without having to constantly diet and count calories – I can just about manage 2 days a week.

After over 40 years of yo-yo weight loss-gain and numerous diets, I stopped caring about my weight. Last year I had a mental breakdown and one good thing to come pout of it was a reduced appetite and 3 stone weight loss. It plateaued, so thought I might as well try and loose another 3 stone and I think this might be the diet to help me achieve that. I’m not in a hurry, as long as the trend is downwards weight.

Hi Okeydokey – count me in – and many thanks for taking the challenge over for April – looks like we are going to have some fun! Welcome @fordprefect aka @okeydokey‘s husband lol. My Dad’s first car was a Ford Prefect – pity he hadn’t kept it.

I would like to continue on to the April Challenge. My goal is to lose 5 pounds for April. Thank you.

I would like to be counted in as well, please!
So far have only been a lurker on this forum, and it’s about time I changed into an active participant 🙂 My goal is to continue to do AFD, post everyday, not stress about the scales, and hopefully lose about 4 pounds by the end of the month. I find that hearing from all you lovely fasting people is a good reminder that one should be in this for the long run….
Thanks for hosting @okeydokey !

Hi @okeydokey I’d like to continue and join the April group please. Thank you for coordinating it 👍🏻

Thanks Okey Dokey… I’m in xoxo

@lethally, several Kiwis here! I’m kiwi – born n bred, but now live in Melbourne (over 30 years). Planning to show off the stunning South Island to my OH in the next couple of years. I got down as far as Oamaru and Lake Tekapo, as a child, and I am keen to see Dunedin, Invercargill, Queenstown and Fiordland. Welcome! And to all new to the challenge! It might be cold where you live, but it’s warm right here 😉

And a Huge Thank You to @okeydokey for taking the reins – big job.
