Hi all how is everyone getting on. Thats my second week in and ive lost 2lb 7lb in total. FeeM i usually weigh myself every week on a Monday morning before breakfast i fast Mondays and Thursdays. Good luck everyone.

Hi. I’m also from Scotland. New to the forum but been doing 5:2 since April last year. After staying away from diet and scales for 6 weeks, I finally braved it yesterday. Horror of all horrors, I gained 11lbs. I have to console myself that I am still 2st 5lbs lighter than last April. Now determined to get back on track

@nicnevin & @valentine Hi – lots of us Scots on here – I live in Angus.

Well done on your 2 stone 5lb loss Nicnevin and welcome back to 5:2.

Well done on the stopping smoking valentine – it’s not an easy thing to do. I believe though that you know you have the will power to stop smoking so you have the will power to lose weight. It does get easier as you get into the ‘swing’.

The great thing is that, beyond not having more than 500 cals on fast days and eating ABOVE your BMR but NOT ABOVE your TDEE on non fast days, there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way – it’s all about making it fit round your life and doing it your way.

Go girls and keep us posted on your progress

PS @nicnevin … love the ‘handle’ can you cast a spell and make us all thin 😀 😀

Hi Sylvestra and PreciousBooBoo, thanks for the welcome… I’m banking that my willpower will see me through this and felt good today so I’m keen to see how it goes! I’m only weighing on a Thurs night for information really, everything I’ve been reading would suggest that body measurements are more meaningful but we’ll see how it goes….. How is everyone doing today?
