Holy crap haven't seen numbers like that in a long time!! Was SO thrilled!! Really been going hard I'm SO happy with this number! Only 2 pounds until my V day goal of 280, when and if I get there before V day (If this losing streak continues which I sure hope it does!) I'll revise my goal

I notice this too. On non fast days by appetite is drastically reduced. I kind of have to make myself eat Breakfast. It's also helped me cut down on snacking a lot. I used to eat 2 Snacks a day between breakfast as lunch and between lunch and dinner. I haven't had the desire to have those snacks at all since starting 5:2. Just really happy with things!

On the lighter side my singing has not been affected by surgery.
Sounded like crap before and still sound the same though it doesn't stop me from singing every day!!!

I'm do excited!!
280.1 this morning!!!!!!
That's 7.4 down from last Friday. Maybe I was in a stall and didn't realize it! 5.3 in the last three days!!!

Jan. 24: 207lbs (a few more pounds and I'll be out of the 200s for thr first time in almost 8 years!!!!).
Edit: Whoops, didn't post my challenge goal. It's to be 197lbs by Vday

We make them at planters peanut. Not sure of any other vendor that does

They are made by Emerald and I get them at Walmart. I've never seen them anywhere else in 100 calorie packs. I have seen them by Emerald in little can/jar type things at other stores. It would be hard for me to portion them out in the can. They are really good.
I've seen other brands, but these are 100 calories and 4 carbs.

The more you can manage good fasting days the better restriction and the better u gain control. I find during my fasting days it helps me learn to say no to the head hunger and is getting control to say not today at a tempting sweet. We are all human and fall short. But 5:2 is helping. Good luck!

So awesome for you! Yes, that is exactly what I felt also. More FELT restriction plus just eating correctly.

Feeling a lot of restriction seems to be common with those doing 5:2! This is one thing I love about it!

So today was my first 'fast' day because I figured no time like the present! Went very well. I think this is something I'm going to be able to do. Feel really good about things. Going to do my next fast day Wednesday. Not sure what my regular fasting schedule will be, need to work it out. I was surprised how easily I was able to stay at 500 calories and while it was a lot less food, wasn't unbearable. Feeling very optimistic about long term success with this!

Glad 5:2 is helping. I didn't lose at first and was very frustrated. It did help with getting the sleeve restriction back. Also helped gain control over the evening snacking. Since the few pounds gained over the holiday I hit 5:2 hard. Added a few more fasting hours in my two fasting days and am finally seeing scale move. So congratulations

Thank you so much! I just started the 5:2 on someones recommendation. Today was my first 'fast' day and so far it seems very doable and like something I can do. I'm definitely not giving up, just took a little detour!

Looked online for more non-food treats. I was doing great until I got to the one that said:
1. car rides
2. extra sniff time
It was a list for dogs!

I had a regain. You can do it !
Research the 5:2 diet or the FAST diet. There's a lot of links for it here, or you can google it.
Lots of Protein, keep your carbs low, and you'll lose weight.

Keep up the good work Angel! We all slip now and then, but you don't have to give up.... stalls are horrible! But when you give up, that is worse, because there is no chance to get it off... fast or slow. I use the 5:2 also, after gaining 22 pounds and not ever reaching goal... I finally got to goal at three years out! Who cares if it took 3 years!? Not me, I am glad to have gotten there, and now face the challenge of keeping it off. You can too.

Hi everyone. I am new to 5:2 been reading it on it today. I'm considered a vet- 14 months post op. Not where I need to be. I was down 100lbs, I hit a stall last year (I wish I knew about 5:2 back then!) and I was literally stuck at the same weight for 2 months. After that I got discouraged, old habits crept back in and I gained 14 pounds on top of it. Have been back on track and have lost 6 pounds so far. Someone mentioned 5:2 in a regain thread and I'm going to give it a try. This seems doable and I definitely think it will get rid of regain weight and push me past my initial plateau weight. Will check back in and let everyone know how it goes!

I have never heard of this before. I actually found this post because I'm in a stall, and looked up stall. So I'll have to look into it. I want to break this stall SOOO bad. I hate it.

Thank you! Okay I'm in yay!
Current weight 288
Goal weight 280
That's about 2 pounds a week. Definitely doable if I stay on track! Lets go!
