Let me add, I have NOT been perfect by anyones measure... and its still helps me stay on track!

I never thought I'd be back to my goal of 135. I kept trying but I could not lose.

5:2 just does something different and I don't know what. I am so glad it works though!

Since the move to this new website, I for the life of me haven't been able to find the official 5-2 group. Can someone tell me where this is at?

We went undergound. It turned into a more personal sharing site, and we decided we needed the privacy to keep the openness we enjoyed about it. We are here to support anyone who is doing the 5:2 though with a couple of other 5:2 threads. We may consider accepting a couple of applications from Vets who have been doing the 5:2 and are already "friends" with us in other posts... the group is divided on this so its not a sure thing.

Good grief, never mind then. I was just looking to get support from others who are doing well, experienced, just getting started, etc on this plan. I've done my own googling on this but hearing what works/ didn't work for others was all I was looking for.

I don't think you should give up, we have several threads on the vets forum where most of us are participating giving support advice and answering all questions

Here is just one example of a thread here that is actively running...

Don't be mad vbt! The group just contains stuff we don't want public, you understand, but check out the thread Laura posted, or start another we can reply to so there is all the information and support you need to be successful! We are here for you! There is no one "just getting started" on the private group.

Fasting today - looking to keep things at 500 Why on earth we bought Frango candies at the mall this past weekend is beyond me - save me from the holiday candy monster!

Someone should start another 5:2 group for people who are just starting. When we started the group, we pretty much all agreed to limit it to 20 people .

It's hard to get to know people when groups get really big.

I love 5:2. I haven't gained anything over the holidays. I love this way of eating. It just seems so normal to me and definitely not a diet. It's just a different way of eating. I am thrilled to be back in all my clothes again.

Good grief. I just realized in April I will be at 5 years post op. With 5:2, I'll be still be at goal. I was really bummed last year at 4 years that I had gained 15 lbs.

OD 5 years? Way to go ! Its great to know the weight loSs can be maintained so far out. Despite my recent set back I am encouraged.
