@Meee, what Countrygal says is correct and there can be a lot of fluctuation at the beginning which does settle I found after about 3 weeks. I also find I am fairly stable when eating low carb, which I mostly do, but the day after eating high carb I sen to have what I think is water weight and in my case bloating, but I know it will pass.

@GoGal, I am a bit late coming in but I think the main thing is not to dwell, easier said than done, I know! Try to let it just wash over you. If you spend too much time stewing over it, the baddies have won!
Try to keep busy to keep your mind off it until it all begins to fade. I certainly will be doing that today to distract me from thinking about food.
Good luck fellow fasters.
Mainly protein and vegetables for me today. Roll on Friday morning and weigh in day!

51 years old, female. Have lost over 50 kgs in the past. Had an operation late 2013 and have gained weight since, regardless of amount of exercise or calories/carbs consumed. Spent thousands of dollars on Doctors, natural therapies and hypnotherapy, lymphatic drainage – you name it, I’ve tried it. I used to know my body, know what it needed to work at peak condition, now, since having excess skin removed, its like I’ve been transported into a whole new body – it isn’t reacting the same, it has become hard to fathom the changes. Less calories used to work. Minimal carbs used to work quickly. in 16 months I’ve gained 8kgs, and I have no idea how to stop it!! I’m coming to 5:2 emotionally drained, but physically in great shape ( aside from extra weight) I’m on no medication, I walk/jog 6 kilometres every morning, I do strength training twice a week and 3 sessions of Zumba a week, ( on the advice of a spiritual healer that I stop masculine exercise and find something more feminine.. ) Like I said, I’m trying anything/everything to stop this gain – and lose 18 kilos to finally be at goal. Please help me, I’m at my wits end

Hi jamswdgq and welcome to 5:2 and AUSSIE DETERMINATION. Thank you for sharing your weight loss journey which sounds as though it has been a long haul for you. I really hope that this will be answer for you, that you can get to know your body again and find what works for you again….I haven’t got got the book yet, but the science behind 5:2 of making your body go for long periods without food is beneficial for overall health and weight loss is a side effect…..which makes me feel that our bodies just DO NOT WANT to have to cope with extra weight for them to be healthy…

We will all be here for you and will take this next part of journey with you, there a a lot of lovely people on here and you will get some good advice as you go along..

GG thank goodness that person is your X sister in law…..imagine having to put up with her all the time! You are a strong, yet gentle lady and I’m sorry that you have been hurt and well done for keeping your head high and maintaining your self respect…..your friends and family know and love you for who you are and I’m sure they will dismiss her evil words as untrue and vicious….like the person she undoubtably is!

Thanks CG, Lindanoaf & GG for your support…..I had a bad day again yesterday, but am focused and strong in my fasting today….I think I’m a little depressed, this is a bad time of year for me…..it’s my late son’s birthday on Sunday (he should be 32) and then 2 weeks later the anniversary of his death….it’s been 9 years and I try and tell myself not to let it be an excuse for emotional eating or drinking, but I fail sometimes…thanks for listening everyone xx

Thanks everyone for replying to my post. I thought as much, but wanted to get confirmation. Would be great if I could lose almost 3kg after just one day of not eating and never regain it!

Jams…it sounds to me like you are over exercising. I honestly don’t know where you get your energy from! I have done a lot of research on exercise, as a fulltime working mum of 2 I don’t have a lot of time, and there is a LOT of evidence out there that you can in fact change your body, tone up and lose weight on 30mins of exercise a day. It needs to be intense exercise but it works. Look into HIIT training or tabata. I really don’t like how your spiritualist described exercise as masculine.

I am also on my second fast day this week. I have chosen to have breakfast and dinner only. Admittedly it’s somewhat uncomfortable. I might try the 3 meals next Monday and see how that is.

Greetings all, fast day for me, (sipping on lemon tea, oh, so slowly) considering a shopping spree for a new, (smaller) outfit to fly off on my Tassie trip (10th Feb)! One can dream. I’ll be happy with existing clothes hanging better over the bumps and have upped my core exercises. Soo happy that my two kilo loss so far shows in the lower legs and the double chins are almost allowing a jaw line! Yess! Now if I can just disguise the middle roll…..Cheers!
I have pinned old photos of my slim self to the wall above my computer. Gad! I have not felt so vain for nearly half a century! A foreign concept, but I am grinning, so maybe it’s a good thing. It is certainly good to wake up to so many emails from the thread and see you all supporting each other. I have missed being supportive to more than my ballooning flab!

But that doesn’t mean I don’t still remember what makes those who care for others tick.

Specifically, to all of you who wrote on the thread in support of Go Gal. Onya! It is pretty obvious she has a higher expectation of herself than most, or she’d be able to brush the ill mannered x in-law off with “Phew! thank God the brother got shot of you!”

However, (lemme guess…) she is too responsible for her thoughts, deeds and actions to dismiss any human’s distress (let alone upset to her whole family!) and it is abhorrent to her to be (even an unwitting party to )the cause of it. No matter what the provocation (and being verbally attacked in a supermarket is somewhat provocative.. ) she is blaming herself for not being… well… herself! For a few minutes. It’s called ‘being human’ really, but she’s not used to that, either, at least not on the negative side. She’s supposed to be this never ending mountain of strength and comfort to the ailing as well as a pillar of exemplification to the community at large. Or… A doctor! right? Has to be. I can recognize the breed a mile off even if I wasn’t an old witch! (ie.. of course they are not exempt from character flaws, but ‘weak’ would NEVER survive boot camp! let alone the old R.N matriarchs who train ’em on the wards!)

And I choose to be so personal (this publicly) GO GAL, because I am concerned also that you appear to criticise yourself for occasionally ‘letting the job get you down’. I refer to the post when you ‘let a sad meeting’ put you in a bad place for caring about your own health plan,(5:2). It’s not hard for me to visualize your struggles about all these issues and I can see the buck landing squarely on your backbone. But BURN OUT IS WHERE YOU’RE HEADED IF YOU DON’T LET THE TRULY RESPONSIBLE TAKE THEIR OWN SHITLOAD! Or remember to remember you have a right to be happy and healthy, even if you spend most of your time with those less fortunate. And you first responsibility is to pace yourself so you don’t fall down when you’re needed most. (remember the cardiac arrest bible: ‘It is not YOUR pain, don’t feel it, just do it, and panic later’). Be fair, mate, THE EX IS A BITCH!(or a person of lesser character if you want to be politically correct)…..as I was saying… only a bitch would hold a grudge and attack in cold blood, then go use her own child to sink the boot in. Or else. What? he is forced to choose between his aunty or his mum? Which ever way you look at it, She’s got a way to go before she deserves your guilt in the matter ( other than momentarily losing your halo with just cause). Mum’s who use their kids for petty revenge generally don’t recognise the privilege of parenthood (or the responsibility) either, so you are well shot of her.

My baby boy is 34 today, the eldest is 50, Or would be if he had not perished at 44 (lung cancer)He was my last cancer patient six years ago. Life went downhill at a great rate for me after that. I lost faith in myself, my profession and retired from the human race (to a scrub hut I acquired a few decades ago as a retreat. My personal appearance was the least of my concerns and it seemed grief crumbled the person I used to be, (even my backbone required surgery) and let disease like diabetes bring me down. But.. Hello… I’m back! Which means if I can help any of you guys from falling down I will. Soooo apologise for raving on… and on….but it’s lunch time! and your captive ears are keeping me on track! (Ooo! if only I could have chips wif dat…or chicken crimpys maybe….) Cheers! The Gypsy.

Pinkpanther, welcome, you find it does get easier as time goes on. I only try to have one meal on fast days as eating early seem ” to wake the dragon” as someone once said. If the pangs get really bad a mug of homemade soup does the trick. Trying not to obsess on food on fast days can be difficult to begin but it will become habit. Even a hard boiled egg, and of course tea/coffee water whatever…but what ever works for you with in 500 cals for the day. Snack on celery,capsicum or carrot. Good luck…CG 🙂

WOW GYPSY….. Thank you! You have hit the nail well and truly on the head with many aspects of my personality.And yes !I do remember ( The Cardiac Bible was once my mantra) those days that you mentioned . I was not one of those RN’s. I always took a chicken and nurtured him/her until they left my care, I was a Nurse Educator years ago and had the best rapport with many of my students, many of whom still keep in touch with me today .
Thank you for your concern. I dotake good care of myself & nip BURN OUT in the bid well before it takes hold. I have been a giver all of my years…. I try to see the good in other 1st ,if I cannot find it I don’t give them the time of day. I do not suffer fools lightly…

My X Sr-in -law is a bitch! Using her adult kids is a cowards way. GEE1that felt good! With all your thoughts on your son today I THANK YOU FOR CARING 4 ME… GO GAL

Foxy – I’m here. We share the experience of losing a son. Tell me about your boy if it helps. And know I understand if it doesn’t. I have trouble with birthdays (and death days)too. I cannot bear to go on facebook and see his memorials ( rightly posted by his widow and two kids). It took years to cry (I was so angry! mainly at myself – I should have seen it! Stopped it! Fixed it! etc)

The irony of being a Cancer nurse and not able to do a damn thing but cry! (If I’d started, but I was in my ‘Cardiac arrest mode’ for the six months it took and then I went numb, to angry with the whole damn world.) It was awful. Plus knowing whatever anybody did was palliative,(he was stage 4, mets to bones, before it was diagnosed) but having to let him hope til he was ready to accept, all took it’s toll. We all deal with grief in our own way. Mine was denial of my own right to grieve. He never smoked a day in his life, his GP never twigged his cough was more than the flu, but I still figgered I should have, yatta yatta,… I could go on and on about my failures. But his last words to me were “You’re my best friend, Mum, I can’t tell them I want to go, but you can take it. You always let me be my own man even when I was a kid. You know I’d fight if it was worth it. You know It’s not. It’s killing you and I need you alive for my kids. let me go, Mum. Don’t try to save me any more, just be here, like always..” He was the bravest person I ever knew.

Anyway, the truth is the more it hurts the more we loved. It counts. 9 years is still like yesterday when those moment get brought to the mind of a mum. I’m here, Roxy. let us get a load off together and laugh when we can. Gypsy

Hi everyone

25 y/o girl from Perth who is getting on the 5:2 bandwagon. I am currently 177cm weighing in at a whopping 84kgs. My BMI is 26 which puts me in the overweight category (time for some change!). Can anyone give me any tips, tricks and recipes for the fast days? Also, what are you eating on the normal days? I really cannot be bothered calorie counting the other 5 days a week. I could do it for a week but it is not manageable for the long term for me personally. How much weight is everyone generally losing in a week? I would love to get to 65kgs by 6 months.

Fastingfataway, my first suggestion is, BUY THE BOOK, that is not fobbing you off but it will give you a full understanding of 5:2 . Go to the How section at the top of the page, work out your TDEE, then download Myfitnesspal, which helps you keep track of all food. The basis is 500 cals two days a week…salads, soups, tuna, stirfry, chicken lean meat, small portions of protein and heaps of low cal veg. You can go back to the beginning of our thread to see how we have all managed to lose weight. There is also a Q and A section at the top for all your questions, good luck, we will support you on your journey…..normal days eating is definitely healthy choices and smaller amounts, YOU CAN DO IT, I know it seems daunting in the beginning but it works….CG 🙂

Thanks Gypsy for your kind words and support and for sharing about your son….I can’t imagine how you must have felt knowing that he was slipping away and there was nothing you could do….our Mother’s instinct is always to protect our children and to try and make it better for them. Your son was very brave and the last words he said to you are precious, how priveledged you are to have heard them and be there for him at the end……my heart breaks for you, what you have been and are still going through, because it never goes away..

I have had THAT phone call….the one that changes your life forever…..my son was killed in a work accident….he was just 23. The company that he worked for was charged with negligence under Worksafe and fined $45,000 for the loss of his life….BIG DEAL…if I ever let myself feel the anger it will destroy me….the last time I spoke to him was on his birthday (he was on a working holiday around Australia) and the last time I saw him was Mother’s Day 10 years ago…..I have learned to live with his loss and it is now a part of who I am….I am relatively happy….I have two more beautiful boys (men) who lives are going well and they are happy….I have a loving and caring husband (second marriage) and hopefully by end of year will be more healthy than I’ve been in years!

Just back from work (and the hairdresser, which I forgot – going back to work on a Thursday put me out of routine). I want to add to all the support that you have received, GG. It’s tragic that your niece and nephew have been twisted by her bitterness, but you have been lifted above this by the team. Hugs and love from me, too. Love the images of the wolves.

Dear friends, such stories of your losses. I cannot express it. Just know that you can share and be cradled in this group when things get hard.

Hi

Thought I’s share my Doctor’s story with you all. Today I went back to get my results from the blood test for my thyroid – all good there. In the conversation I mentioned that I doing the 5:2 and she was saying the science seems to make sense and “Oh wow I wish I could do that”…..I think she will be watching my progress, I’ll go back in about 6 weeks.

Thanks everyone for your kind words – it seems like this is definitely where I need to be, I appreciate your support already.
Seems everyone has had some trials and tribulations, nothing that compares with the death of a child – but I’ve had a young son with Brain Cancer some years ago – and I understand the range of emotions that the roller coaster brings with it.
I do struggle to eat anywhere near my TDEE – I can do Fast days easy, its eating enough that I struggle with.
Thanks again for your help and I look forward to being part of this community.

Hi all thanks for everyone’s stories.

Everyone carries their own pain.

I too carry pain that I have written about before.

Do what you have to do.

I have and still do non fast day emotionally eat however the is a lot less damage done now and calories are counted.

Love and hugs to everyone going through hard time.

I watched Dr PHIL one day about 15 years ago and he said you can get the book of pain from the bookshelf on the days when required, but never just live in the book. This has stuck with me.

Hi everyone, so much happening on this forum lately, its hard to keep up.
the experiences of loss that a lot of you have had are very sad, but also very inspirational that you have all got on with life in what must be the most devastating thing imaginable.. i am also glad this forum exists so you have a place to share and be supported.
GG… My sister is a total b***h too, so i know how it feels to have your niece/nephew turned against you, my niece is like a stranger to me now cos my sister cut me off for no reason, it is very sad but i have to have faith that one day she will make up her own mind and we can have our own relationship again.

So, i’ve been off the wagon for a while nwo and getting back into the 5:2 saddle next week… Any tips on getting back into the mindframd after a break, i need some motivation

Take care all 🙂

Thanks for sharing foxy. my heart hurts for you, too. I have sometimes wondered how others survived such a thing. There’s no grace about it and so much left unsaid. I can agree with you now that I was at least given time to try. I can imagine how the sudden horror changed your life. and how hard it still is on ‘those days’. I’m so sorry I laid it on all of you. I just don’t, usually. But you are a great bunch. and maybe I am prone to the fasting wafties!

Gad! I’ll make sure I stay off deep subjects next time! In a lighter vein, I’m sure I’m shrinking away to a shadow! I made it through on track today. But find myself watching the clock for midnight. So better head off to bed before I ruin it all with a midnight feast! To all who wished me well, thank you. To new fasters, welcome and good luck.

CG, I have to say you are an inspirational leader! and there’s nothing like a good old fart! So what is the calorie count of a cup of pea and ham soup?!!! Nite all. Gypsy

Wow, I’ve been awol for almost a week. Sorry, everyone. My mother’s birthday weekend and moving out a fridge and moving in a freezer and a tutoring afternoon from hell completely distracted me.

My weigh in is in about 12 hours. I don’t think I’ve lost any weight this week. But that’s okay because I’ve been losing for months straight so that balances it out nicely. We’ll see.

It seems I’ve missed a lot, I hope everyone is okay.

Morning team I’m a sick puppy this morning. Unsure if it’s a gastro bug or the ham from my soup. The use by date was 17-1-15 so still in date when soup was made. Woke me through the night, up twice dry retching, then sitting on the throne then had a glass of Ginger Ale, sipping it slowly, seemed to relieve the tummy cramps some, but all still there today. First two sips of coffee just came up so, a very lazy, lethatgic day ahead
Gypsy, I certainly did let a few rip, and enjoyed them! 😆
I sucked on a Gaviscon tab last night and it did help some, so no Dr. /Vet Needed, just guaging how I go….better out than in, so just hope it moves..
I’ll weigh in later after my shower, feel too washed out to do much at the moment, just need rest/sleep and of course keeping the fluids going.
Good luck with weigh ins today, I’ll be watching, and catch up later….I hope cricket is on today, good day for the couch…CG xx

And so much happened yesterday. Wow, this is really a group full of real people.
Gypsy and Foxy all that I can say is big big big hugs to both of you. I lost my eldest sister 21 years ago. I was only 12 years old then. However, till date, every day mum talks about her. Only a mother can understand the pain of losing a child. Whenever my mum talks about my sister, I always give her a big hug and I want to share the same hug with you (Foxy and Gypsy)

CG, sorry that you are not feeling well today, good idea to rest up and dont forget to drink fluids to get the bug out. Hope you feel better soon…

Morning Everyone!
Sorry to hear about your rough night and day CG 🙁 Gastro anything is the worst!
I’m on another fast day today. I have to say i’ve started out not hungry but very thirsty – so downing the cold water as we speak.
Good Luck with your weigh ins this morning! I have no idea if i’ve lost anything in my first week but i’m definitely not feeling as bloated :).
