I've been a heavy shortie for a lot of my adult life (well since I was early 20s). 5' 5" and at my worst got to 17st 13lb. I managed to get down to 12st 2lb following weight watchers initially then 5:2. I sustained around 12st 10lb and whilst that is still high for me I was very happy.
Sadly a bad 18 months has seen me shoot back up to 15st 12lbs. I was devastated. Anyway back just eating healthily and have lost 6lb. Back in the gym and booked 10 personal training sessions.
I loved 5:2 and did it for a few years as a lifestyle change but struggle with it now. Obviously all I want now is to get back to my weight from a few years ago as quickly as possible. Main goal is to get to 14st 7lb within 2 months and take it from there.
