Hi Kristy

Welcome to 5:2. The 4 stone weight loss sounds great. I am 34, and currently weigh 76.6kgs, would like to get to 65kgs. I started the 5:2 a couple of weeks ago. Did it earlier for a short time but was not as motivated. I have lost a little over 3kgs, this really works. I am having an FD today. My FD’s are on Tuesday & Thursday And on Saturday I am extremely careful with what I eat. I would be happy to be friends and check in everyday. Have a nice day.

Hi Kristy, hope you had a good FD. I struggled a bit yesterday, I usually have a coffee with milk and a little sugar for bfast and then 2 glasses of buttermilk at lunch then a light dinner of vegetables and lentils. Yesterday I had a small bowl of papaya for bfast after having coffee and I was extremely hungry especially by late afternoon. I had painful hunger pangs. Its never happened on an FD before.I have an NFD today. Yesterday was an FD and I gained 100gms ;)But I am not worried, I feel so much better, my clothes are much looser. I feel that I should stop weighing myself everyday but I cant help it. And to be honest I am not really affected by the numbers anymore. These FD’s make me so appreciative of my NFD’s. I look forward to my meals, my portion sizes have gone down drastically. I had a couple of treats this morning, but I just took a couple of small bites and was content and also didn’t feel guilty about it. I have also started walking for an hour every morning.So all in all its going well. I have significantly cut down on carbs, I used to love eating rice but haven’t had it in a while and don’t particularly miss it. I also don’t snack in between meals and I find that it helps to control the hunger dragon. No more sugar and junk food cravings.
I will be going for dinner to a friends place tomorrow, so plan to be extra careful with my meals tomorrow. I also plan to do an additional FD on Sunday.
Have a nice day 🙂

Hi Kristy how are you doing? Dancing sounds like a great way to lose weight and it must be a lot of fun too. I had a good NFD yesterday and having a decent FD today. I haven’t had any hunger pangs today which is a first for me. This is my 6th or 7th FD.
It’s my 3rd FD this week since I went to dinner at a friends yesterday, I ate sensibly which I am happy about. I will be doing an early morning hike with friends tomorrow, and we will probably have breakfast out. So I feel safe doing an FD today. I have decided to weigh myself only next Sunday. I have been fluctuating between 76.6/7&8 for the last week and it’s a little disappointing that after 3 FD’s the scales won’t move in spite of being extra careful on NFD’s and FD’s. I don’t want to get trapped in the number game. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day:)

Hi, I am still doing okay. Didn’t weigh myself as decided 😊Went for a short hike today, had breakfast outside but chose a steamed option and when friends ordered some dessert ate 3 tsps and stopped so was pleased with myself. I don’t get food cravings anymore it’s such a relief. Will have an FD tomorrow l am looking forward to it. Let’s see how this week goes and then might follow your suggestion. Great to hear that the scales are moving for you. You must be thrilled. It’s always a great feeling Have a good week. When is your next FD?

Hi Kristy,
I am on a weight loss high too, even if the number on the scales is not going down rapidly I am able to fit into clothes I haven’t worn in months:)I dont count calories, find it really cumbersome, I will give it a shot though. Since I have started this I really eat healthy and have even stopped eating rice which I love. I dont feel hungry on NFD’s too, a great side effect of the FD’s I think. I also dont have any snacks in between my main meals, that has helped me a lot. Have a nice day:)
