Hello other 5:2ers!

This is my 6th fast day into my third week of 5:2!
I have about 20-25 pounds needing to be lost. My BMI is 25.8 which is on the lower scale of being overweight. I lost 2 pounds the first 2 weeks and then this week have gone right back to my starting weight……….
I am always counting calories except for one day a week which is usually eat out night and I do drink 2-3 times a week(not on fast days)and usually do not go over calories even on those nights.
My BMR is 1424 and my TDEE is 2207. Ive tried to eat around 1800 cals on non fast days but feel like im eating too much! I have tried multiple diets and have changed the way I eat drastically. with just exercising I have lost 35 pounds but now I do not have the extra time to do crazy long hard workouts.

Is there any advice out there on what I should be doing to help to feel so frustrated??

Hi ,ive been doing this diet for 5 weeks now and have lost about 8lb I havent weighed myself for about 2 weeks , I find it best not to keep jumping on the scales, the best advise I can give is to stick with it and what I found worked for me was to change my diet mix it up a bit have a protein breakfast change my eating habits completely I dont count calories and if I dont feel hungry I dont eat listen to your body a bit more . Sorry its not very technical I have done so many diets over my lifetime but I can honestly say this has really changed my thinking on eating and meal times.

good luck
