This thread is for us to share our starting date for the 5:2 method.

Also how much we started at and where we are now.

I started June 11th.

S.W. 171

C.W. 162

-9 pounds

Just thought I'd update here -

23rd Nov no change from 159 (I've seen 158 but it didn't stick so I'm not calling it). So in 6 weeks I've not lost a pound. Doing my fast days twice a week ranging from 500 - 600 and I'm happy with that. Generally my feast days are good - some treats here and there but nothing too deadly and any slight gain comes straight off - probably Water. Still going to Curves.

Any ideas how to mix this up again and get losing?

You have lost 12 inches in that time, you are replacing fat with muscle tone... I think you are WAY a winner coops... Dont let that scale number bum you out, that measurement number is more important to the way you really look! Big Congrats!! Keep up what you are doing! I want some of that, I need to 1. measure again, and 2. go to the gym more!

I got to "goal"...( high end of my bounce range goal) two and a half weeks ago, it lasted one day and I was bouncing above it for the last 2 1/2 wks... today I finally got back to the 60's.... so I am now one pound below my highest bounce weight. My goal is to keep my bounce, high and low end, in the 160's. So very happy about this....at least for today!

GEorgia. That is awesome!! You should be so proud of yourself. Was it all 5:2? what was different then what u had been doing before June?

original stats:
Start date: 11 June 13
Start weight: 168

Started Dec at 156 - that is 12lbs gone and 2 left to Surgeon's goal.

I am guessing that I will do the bounce thing now for several weeks; especially over Christmas, and then in the NY those last pesky two pounds will go.

Once I am sitting at 154 it will be a test of the 5:2 to get to into the 14*s and then on to my personal goal,,,hmmm, this will be an interesting test!

Coops, Im going to work on the personal goal- 5 in the New Years too, Im there for you! We can do it together!

I haven't checked in on this thread forever!

The holidays I wanted to actually lose and not "just" maintain...

Yeah... At this point I will hang on for dear flipping life to try and maintain!!

If 5:2 can help me maintain through this period of celebrations I'll take it.

Started June 11th.

Start weight 171

Current weight 149

I'm claiming it cos the scales have been the same for 2 days (weigh in day officially tomorrow) 171lb, the first time the scale has moved in many weeks.

Hurray Cathy!
