hi everyone. I started the 5/2 in April 2015. I lost a bit but was unwell with thyroid problems so the weight gain was minimal. I started again in September 2015 and have been doing it ever since. I lost a stone, then gained 7 pounds over a week at xmas(!!!)
I have now lost the xmas weight I gained. I am back at 13st 4 which is one stone down since I started in september. I think I have lost quite a lot of fat, as I was a big size 16 and now I am a small 14. I have lost 4 inches off the waist and 2 off boobs and hips.
I fasted yesterday and felt unwell due to time of the month so I actually only ate 400 cals, a record for me. I do three days of sprints and circuits in the gym per week, which tones me up and improves my mood.
I really want to lose 1-2 stone by july if possible. Does anyone have any words of wisdom/tips for me considering my weight loss is so slow and I gain it back so damn easily?? thanks 🙂

hi
good luck with your 5/2 journey.
I take Natural dessicated thyroid, which was prescribed by a private Dr, I am on quite a high dose, so I should be losing more weight than I am. I suppose 1 pound a week will have to do for now 🙂
