Hi yes this is week 8 I am doing it with the 12 week diet I started out well in my first six weeks I lost 13 pounds was looking forward to getting on the scales this morning and I am now sat here in total shock I have put on 1 and half pounds don't know how I write down how many calories I have eaten weigh my food and exercise but will not give up . It's hard to do the two low calorie days at first but it gets easier so week 8here I come not going to let it beet me this time I am sure you will do well good luck

Not sure the 5/2 works effectively with other diets but I think inch loss is more important than weight so hopefully you have lost some inches

Good for you! I hope you've read up on it, watched the videos etc. It's the best way of losing weight as it's so easy to maintain your weight loss afterwards.

I have Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer's book and belong to a Facebook group too. I'm hoping to lose a few inches around my waist area. Only time will tell

I prefer Kate Harrison's book. Which 5:2 group are you in?

[Looneytunes in reply to gingernut49]

What is the book called? This is the FB group. It's mainly a support group facebook.com/groups/the52di...

You're in the original 5:2 Diet Facebook group. I was in that when there were only around 40 of us when Kate started it!

If it gets too tedious (it can be rather full of people who haven't read anything and ask the most basic and sometimes very silly questions) then join the 5:2 for Life and Health group. That's also Kate's group but we tend to know what we're talking about.

Do you have the link for that group for me?
