hi there Sparkles and well done on your first week!

please give it time, I didn’t start loosing for about 1 month, and yes sometimes that time of the month does affect your weight because of water retention I guess… but still a lb is a lb and that’s good!!

plus, when you don’t have a huge amount to loose it can be even slower, so patience here is the key!!

its a way of life, so hang in there!! good luck 🙂

Yes it definitely has an affect around your period, I feel like I have lost weight this week but the scales show 2lb gain. Its my time TOM, so I know thats the reason. You just have to keep calm, don’t get dishartened and just remember if you stick to the 5:2 every week you will lose weight over time!
