Hallo everyone, don’t usually do forums but now I’m excited to share the experience – I’m Lill, 51&1/2yrs! Inspired by my cool parents who are in their 70’s and never carried weight like I do – I have 3 great lads 12,13 & 18 an amazing fiancée who lost over a stone last year with s.w. – I would like to be a good role model to my family, be healthy and extend my life – I gave up smoking for last year (2nd time – that was tough) now I seriously need to lose weight! My ideal weight target is 180lbs I think seems a long way off – lost 5lbs last week! Really excited. Oh, I run 1 mile a day from Cornwall to England!

So, 2nd lot of measurements tomorrow, a few beers with friends tonight (bottles!) a little worried there will be no progress this week…do feel lighter – better mood – jeans fit a little better – suffered head aches Thurs and couldn’t shake them off until today, did go for 18hr food fast (2nd fast day this week, 4th fast day in last two…)

I bought the recipe and cook book from Amazon this week and can’t wait to try recipes next week – want to take in all the info I can…

Thanks for all of everything to do with this brilliant concept – many years ago I did try ‘FIt For Life.’ 5:2 Fast Diet seems so much easier and better already…saw the programme last year and read the book – makes good sense…

Good luck to all my new fellow ‘5:2ers!’ Looking forward to the journey!

Lighter already…

Lill

Hi Lesley, well done you & good to hear from you – tadah – thanks for your support – well would you believe it? 3.5lbs more into the ozone!!! All seems to be too good to be true…that’s 10lbs now in two weeks – I’m really shocked but really pleased!!! 2″ waist 2″ hips 1″ neck all gone! Hope you have more progress too, good luck.I’m originally from London and miss it terribly, although, Cornwall is pretty special! Andy
