Hi all,

I just discovered this site after 7 weeks on the 5:2 diet. Lost 8Kg so far, very pleased with results. Short term goal another 5Kg which will take me out of the ‘overweight’ region of the BMI graph. Longer term goal a further 9Kg beyond that, which will put me in the centre of the ‘healthy weight’ region of the graph. But if I achieve that I’ll weigh 11 stone, which is what I weighed in my 20’s, and I’m now 59.

Las week I lost 0.5Kg, this week so far it looks like I’ve lost nothing. Previous weeks I lost at least 1Kg every week, sometimes considerably more. Don’t know if I’m overdoing it on non-fast days, because I’ve certainly kept below 600Kcal on every fast day.

Do others find that weight loss slows down after an initial period?

Hi Rich Seager,

The forum is a great resource for info and support.

I lost the most in the first couple of months, now am talking at the most 2lbs per week but usually about 0.5lb-1lb per week. However, the past 4-6 weeks the weight loss has been slow 0.5lb if I am lucky. Although to be honest I was over eating on non fast days and sometimes on fast days. Please don’t become disheartened and give up.

Good luck!
