I was (am) very hesitant about posting this thread, and hope it is useful to others in the pfm community who could do with shifting a few pounds.
In my case it’s more than a few.
However, I have recently finally got my head in the right place, and I’m doing the 5:2 thing*. I say thing, rather than diet, as it’s a “for life” thing. My doctor is behind this, having recommended it to me when I saw him a few weeks ago.
*As long as you are doing something sensible (consult your doctor if unsure) there are definitely different ways to get healthier that may suit each of us, so if this thread is of interest to you, it’s not important which thing you’ve adopted.
So...
I’m going to commit to posting my weight on this thread each week. Gulp.
I’m not looking for anything other than a hope that others in my (chunky) position might follow suit, or have already begun their own journey and find it helpful to post their own thoughts and progress.
