I am a (nearly) 33 year old mother of an 8 month old girl. I am looking to loose the babyweight plus a little extra before going back to work in April. I have just started; today is my second fast day. I am fasting on Tuesdays and Thursdays and eating 1500 calories on non-fast days. I’m in MFP as well.

SkinnyMama I’m way north and west of you in the NWT, male and 62 so I’m probably not your best choice for a diet buddy.

You will find that the forums can be a great asset in adapting to the new pattern of eating. (I refuse to call it a “diet”. Diets don’t work. this way of eating does)

I will say that if you adhere to 5:2 stay within you TDEE and recalculate it as you lose weight you will be happy with your results. It may not be fancy and it may not be fast but it does work. Don’t look for fast weight loss 5:2 pattern of eating doesn’t do that.

You’ll be amazed at the new you in a years time. 5:2 is a new pattern of eating and it does take sometime to make it a habit.

Hi SkinnyMama. I’m in Southern Alberta and started fasting 4:3 week and a half ago. Had a great 8lb loss last week (also reducing carbs so some of that was water). Am 45 mother of 4 teenage kids (2 by birth and 2 step-kids) all living with DH and I. Hectic house can be ‘fun’ for fasting. LOL
