Hi everyone! Hope you are all well and thanks for taking the time to read my post! I just wanted to share and gain opinion on the 5:2 support group I have up and running.

Thanks to the life changing fast diet, I am 51lb lighter! 3 stone 9lb to be exact. I started the 5:2 thanks to a chance meeting through work. I started the very next day! Having read the book, browsing the forums and feeling completely euphoric about this way of life, I decided I wanted to share how I felt and hoped other people would too! I contacted my local paper in the hope they would help me promote my group. They decided to run a wee story on my success( eek!) and low and behold, what a response! This will be week 3 of the group and the lovely people are just loving it! I have stressed it’s not a class, definitely no weigh ins but an opportunity to share recipes, tips and most of all encouragement. The first evening I brought two days worth of what a fasting day could consist of meal wise.This was very welcomed to say the least! Week 2, lots of tips and suggestions were flying round the room! Just what I had hoped for!

Anyway, here I am being completely euphoric and rambling about the 5:2……. Can’t help myself!!! So hey, we have all those classes out there that isn’t for us fast dieters, so hence the group! Anybody know how I can bottle how I feel and sell it?! I would be a millionaire!!!

Och thanks so much Steph! Really kind of you to say that! I just love this new way of life! How are you getting on?

Serenity, hey there! Thanks so much for your lovely message! How are you getting on with the 5:2? I’m anticipating over 20 this week! It’s such great fun and a brilliant way for folk to meet other 5:2 ers! We pay £1 each for the room and what’s left over is being saved up for a Christmas night out. Just thought as some people don’t get the opportunity for a night out at Christmas, this would be an added bonus! Thanks so much again for taking the time to send a wee message!!

Veggal, hey there!!!! Thanks for your reply!!! You know, I think lots of people are feeling how you are right now with diet groups! They are paying all that money with little results to show for it!!! I love your attitude to the 5:2! Bring it on! Why don’t you start a wee group up? It’s so rewarding and I’m sure by the sound of your enthusiasm, you would be a great ambassador !!!
