I am hoping to lose 3 stone. About 20 kgs. And am BMI 33. Are there any people here wanting to lose quite a bit? Has it been beneficial to individuals with higher BMI?

Hi,
Am new on here. I hope to lose 37lbs (17kg). I lost about 19lbs (8kg) doing something similar to this last year. Just decided to have one meal a day, didnt exercise and depended on coffee to stave off hunger. I lost the weight quickly and have now decided to change it up and try the Fast diet.
Lets do this! 🙂
I didn’t actually start doing it to lose weight, didn’t expect to and didn’t realise I had until 2 months in. I have no ‘start’ stats as a result but I’m now 11 months and 1 week on and about 3 stone (probably slightly over) or 42lb down. Most of it came off early on – somewhere between 14-18lb in the first 2 months (although noone, including me, noticed). The remainder has come off in anything from 4lb-2lb – with one anomalous 1lb month covering the Xmas period.
I’d like to lose another 2 stone – now I know I can – but I’m happy to do it slowly. Although doing it slowly does play havoc with your wardrobe. Thank goodness for leggings and the fact that most of my (previously tight) tops are getting away with looking ‘floaty’ these days.
Oh and cal290, I eat chocolate on every non fast day and not just a little bit either. It’s a good 600 calories worth of my <2000 intake but it’s worth it 😉
I am finishing my 4th week today. I’ve lost 5lbs(2.2k) so far and would like to lose 45lbs(3.2stone) total. My weight loss is slow and that is fine with me so long as it happens.
I’ve tried other diets and think this one is a keeper because of the benefits besides weight loss. The fast diet is easier for me to stay on. Probably because the 500 calorie days are manageable for me and not too fussy. I like the simplicity.
Onward and downward!
Hi everyone! I am Aussie woman, 58 and husband who is 60, both doing the 5:2 diet since about mid May. I was 71kg wanting to lose about 11kg and husband was 118kg and looking to shed about 25kg. Neither of us did any measurements but can feel the loss of inches/centimetres in our clothes! I’m down about 4kg and husband about 8kg. Slow and steady wins the race!
We have a very busy little Post Office and General Store, working 7 days a week, so exercise is pretty much non-existent! We have found that after about 6 weeks, you get a handle on your eating habits – the right foods and their calorie values. Not obsessing about it, but trying to stick to the 500/600 calories on fast days, eating lots of protein, fibre and drinking plenty of fluids. On normal eating days we eat well, 2000/2400 calories and tonight I enjoyed some divine buffalo vanilla and mango pulp gelato after dinner!! 🙂 Local farmers run buffalo and have awesome products!
