    I would like to join the 'new way of eating' club if I can?


    Beanie is so supportive of everyone and it would be a great idea to support her.


    The only 'issue' is that I follow 5:2 whereas I see most are following SW.


    IN the last 3 weeks I have lost 8lbs and would like to lose another 8lb to get me under 10 stone - I have a girls weekend in 3 weeks so need to slim down!!

    Thanks beanie.


    I think it just goes to show how badly I have been eating, I would think nothing of 2 bags of crisps and 2 chocolate bars every day as well as my usual meals:eek:
    It's a wonder I didn't weigh more but I guess dog walking and my smallholding keep me active.


    My start weight was 11st 1lb.


    I am doing 5:2 but also logging all my calories in My Fitness Pal - my god, it's an eye opener!!

    Hey EE, I am part of this slimming gang too and I am doing IF. I do 16:8 every day. I think 5:2 is faster for results but 16:8 works for me. Sounds like you are doing great :)
