I started 5:2 a week ago and like you I can already see the benefits – just over 3lbs lost, my waistline is disappearing and I feel so much more energetic. Whenever I feel hungry I drink a glass of water. Not missing my daily hot chocolate drink and no more energy or mood swings! I have 10lbs to lose but am really doing this for the overall health benefits.
End of week two and feeling much more lively. Still recording everything and yes, a few surprises when I calculate the portion sizes and I am keeping just under my TDEE. Love my peanut butter so I have a teaspoon of it when I feel really hungry – better than having a chocolate bar which has no benefits.

Week 4 lost 3kilo 6lb, Wow am so pleased, i want to loose 10 kilo does anyone else get very cold on the fast days like the fingers, mine do its odd, and I loose concentration.
Also I now watch what I cook and eat on non fast days, I still had a cake on saturday and only now eat bread at the weekend, and I have cut down the wine as well nothing weekdays, its working so that the best thing, not easy but I keep thinking its only 1 day, and its fine not to feel full all the time
Great news Ohlala and well done! I have just completed Week 3 and feel as if I have been doing 5:2 for much longer as it really suits my lifestyle. I have lost just over 8 lbs in total – what a difference, especially when I pick up even one 2 lb bag of sugar and think that no wonder I was lethargic carrying that extra weight so x four I realise where my energy is coming from! Still calorie counting new items or just checking the portion size as it’s so easy to eat more. Made a lovely cake on Friday, entered all the info on Calorie Count and then had accurate figures for each slice. Doing two fast days a week either Mon/Tue or Thur/Fri. Hopefully some more people will share their experiences.
Just starting Week 5 – where has the time gone? Motivation and will power are wavering a bit recently and I find it would be very easy to just eat and eat and eat so I am drinking lots of water to try and compensate! Weight has remained the same for just under two weeks even though I haven’t gone over TDEE at all – in fact my average ‘feast day’ cals comes to about 1000- 1100 per day so maybe it’s not enough?
How is everyone else doing?
