Hi all. I’m sitting here really wanting to give the 5:2 a go having been struggling with Weight Watchers. I lost 5.5 stone with WW about 6 years ago. They’ve changed the plan several times since then and if I’m honest it hasn’t consistently worked for me since then and I’ve yo-yoed. I’m now looking at a big holiday in July & my wedding next year so I need to find something I can stick to, can fit into family life & not impact my energy levels so I can workout. I’d like to lose just over 2 stone. Could 5:2 be for me? I eat out a lot with my job probably 3/4 days a week. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Sashapet, thanks for replying. How long have you been on 5:2? Luckily my son is 11 and not a massive snacker so I don’t tend to have stuff in the house. It’s the eating out & comfort eating I struggle with. I’m hoping that if I can fit my fast days/work out days when I go to the gym in the morning I should be ok.

That’s great, well done.
