See my signature line for my 5:2 loss..... I eat around 12-1500 on feast days (depending on exercise) and 550 or so on the two fast days (mon and ths for me) I had a 22 pound regain, lost 5 of that, started the 5:2 protocal and lost the rest, plus got to goal. I am now maintaining still using the 5:2.... or occasionally 6:1. Its pretty easy to do, theres always tomorrow to eat what you want. It worked for me when it seemed nothing else would.
...start the 5:2 plan (6-11-2013)- 190.9
almost 3 years after surgery First Goal, get to the 160's (11-7-13) 168.7 still on the 5:2!
There is a private 5:2 group. We might entertain a new member or two, but new members must show a commitment to the lifestyle, and show they can get along in a positive way... we are a very close and supportive group.

12/19/12 down 35 (18 was pre-op).
I was doing awesome, but I have had three deaths in my family since 12/22...funerals (Christmas eve...I also fell at this funeral...my knee went into my largest incision...one New Years Eve...and one will be Friday-passed On New Years Day). I haven't been getting in all my Protein and Water since Im always on the road or at families. As soon as the last funeral is over...and I'm home on a normal routine again I am stepping things back up. These things happen, I'm just doing the best I can until my normal life resumes.

I started the mayo Clinic Diet today. I mainly wanted to do it to jumpstart things again and to clean my body of the bad junk I have had the last few weeks. I feel ok so far. I will update in a few days with the progress. I have a wedding to attend at the end of next month. That will be the first big event I've been to since I've lost weight. Im 20 away from 100...Yes, I realize I'm a slow loser, but with all that's happened in the last year I am happy with that and working harder than ever! We got this!! Update soon!!!!!

Guys and gals I need encouragement. I fell off the wagon...high stress of ending a six year relationship, changing jobs after four years, a best friend going off to rehab (shockingly-was unaware of the abuse), a brother going wild, & a few other things just got the best of me. I have sat down and read my book again from the Dr. I've made a food list again and got my mind focused. Please tell me how you jump started if you started slacking. I haven't lost any in a bit. Only down 70 (have thyroid problems so I am a slow loser, but I should have more progress). Ideas of a food plan to jump start things again...I've been looking for divas back to basics thing, but I can't find it. Any other encouragement or things that might help are appreciated. Congrats to everyone!!!
P.S. still walking several times a week...mainly need to focus on food I think. ????

I think at some point everyone needs to "re group." For some people, it hasn't happened,yet, but it might happen when they get to the weight that they want to maintain. For a lot of us, falling off the wagon is nothing new...and getting back on is nothing new, either. We just have to "just keep swimming."

8 pounds off this week! Finally my slow loosing is stopping! 63 off...not near most of you guys though. I drop calories and only eating Protein.< /p>

When I asked about Advil I was only a couple months out...my RN said take Tylenol for a bit longer. You might try that. Fibro is the worst, nothing soothes me. Try a hot shower or ice or heat pad and movement. I know heat isn't always the recommended but its gotten me through some of the worst times. I pray it eases...I know how bad it can be.

One week exactly to my 3 month anniversary....really trying to drop 6 pounds to hit my 50 pound 3 month goal...if not would love to be 50 down by Easter!
I went on vacation last week...I had seafood every night, but shared with my boyfriend and only had things that were grilled or steamed. A couple bites each night really filled me up with half a side salad...and I saved money!
You all make me feel so much better! At times I think what if I fail and don't loose all the weight, but when I see you are all in the same place as me I feel so much better! Thanks for the inspiration.
***What is everyone's height and goal weight?***
I'm 5'6, goal at the moment is 140....but I'm starting to think that might be too low.
