Laura, no change is the second best outcome. 🙂
Maybe it’s a plateau?

I end my week at 94.0 kilos, on April 16th I weighed 94.9, the following day 94.4, so it’s not a mega-loss but it’s okay.
I didn’t take the second fast day totally seriously, for some reason I ate granola yesterday evening in addition to the 500 “legit” calories. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Hope you are all doing well – have a great weekend!

Hi ladies,

I hope you don’t mind me tagging along..
I’m Sue.
I have 2 teenagers and an 8 month old..
This week I made the decision to commence the 5:2 ‘lifestyle’..

Although I am yet to weigh in, I am feeling quite good..

My starting weight is: 85kgs
Goal weight: 60-65kgs..
Decided to take each day as it comes.. 😊

I look forward to the journey ahead..

Hi everyone- Hi Suzie, the good thing I think is that at least it’s only 1 day of restriction to manage at a time which makes it a bit easier.. sorry I haven’t been on for a couple of weeks but I dropped my phone down the loo and then we have had dodgy internet connection in the new house. I got on the scales yesterday and got a reading of 12st 13lbs- below 13 finally! Not bad what with the stress of moving. Got a couple of weeks before holiday in France so hopefully can shift a couple more. Well done Crazy trying that is a massive loss! How is your son now crazy trying, was it a phase or is he still fussy?
Hope everyone is getting on ok with their progress. X

Hi Laura and everyone here,

Great loss last week Laura and you have inspired me to get back on it! No need to apologise- I’ve been v slack.I feel a kind of relief to come on here and see that perhaps I’m not the only one who has lost momentum- not too many recent posts from everyone.

I was doing really well and felt trim, healthy and that my clothes were fitting well before the holiday to France. I weighed myself on scales there and they read 12,10 at the start of the week! Which seemed to give me even more of a free card to go crazy! I’ve done 1 day a week since I have been back, and otherwise yo yoed between restraint and excess- & not fasted with any real enthusiasm. And my scales are broken- I think I’m hovering above 13st at the mo and don’t want to go shooting back up again so need to take back the reigns. Currently on my period and have had pizza x 2 in 2 days plus so feeling the bloat! I’m gonna have a peruse through the website again for a bit more enthusiasm, get some new scales tomorrow, and then get back into it.

Hopefully can now start up again and get down to 12- that would be great.

Would be good to hear how others are doing- maybe you are out there and stalling like me!

Hi ladies. I’d love to join as well. I’m Judy, I have two boys age 3.5 and 1.5. I started the 5:2 with my partner last year and managed to reach my pre-pregnancy weight but then we stopped around Christmas and neither of us found the motivation to take it up again. But then 3 weeks ago I started again on my own which surprisingly I found a lot easier. Maybe because I’m back to work and I tend to fast when I’m at work, I find it quite difficult when I have the kids all day. How do you find fasting with little ones?
I started with 65kg last year (sorry, I still can’t get my head around st and lbs) and went from 60.7kg when I started again down to 58.6kg this morning. I’m hoping to reach nearer 55kg, a weight I’ve been dreaming about since my early 20’s 😊

After nearly 6 month break I found it’s not worth worrying too much if you’re struggling for a while or taking a break. You’ll get the motivation back in your own time and then you just pick it up where you left off. I’m more relaxed now, I tend to guess the calories rather than stand over my dinner with a calculator and if I give in on a bad day it’s fine.
