Hi all,
I am new to 5:2 and decided to try it for the month of August in an attempt to drop a small anount of weight. After my first day of fasting I dropped almost a kilo, then continued to drop a further .5 in the few days that followed. I was surprised by this initial dramatic loss. But then I got my period and the weight jumped straight back on (which is not unusual). I continued with 5:2 and dropped back down but not overnight like my experience with the first day of fasting. Now I’m finding the weight is just fluctuating, I’m almost back to the weight I was when I started a month ago! What am I doing wrong? I am being so careful counting calories on my FDs and I exercise every day. 🙁 Can someone please offer some advice? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Cinque. Yes, I think I obsess over what the scales say a little too much, so will take your advice onboard. As for how I’m feeling, generally I have had a really moody August. Not sure if this is result of the fasting…

Thank you 🙂
