Hi everyone! I’m a 41 year old teacher and Mam of 1 from South Wales. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue compounded by food sensitivities. My new year resolution was to pinpoint those sensitivities and try to get to grips with the fibro once and for all through my diet. Then I read something about the success with 5:2 for inflammation and cognitive dysfunction so I thought I’d give it a go! I was, and am, terrified at the very thought of being hungry. The first day though was surprisingly easy. The second less so 😀 But I now weigh three pounds less and goodness knows I could lose a stone or two!
Anyway, hello and hopefully this is the start of something good!

Thanks Angie! I’m pretty keen now. What put me off this diet when I first heard of it was the knowledge that I would just binge on the off days and ruin it. I don’t have a healthy attitude to food, let’s say! But I’ll give it a go and try to stay in my TDEE… easier now I’m gluten and dairy free of course 😀

bloody hell it was so hard today :S

I’m so annoyed about it I’m thinking of doing another fast day tomorrow to prove to myself that I’m the one in control. That’s stubborness for you 😀

2kg? Wow that’s great! Well done you! 5st is amazing. I’m in awe!
