I really wish my weight would not bounce around so much.

Me too, Daise, me too...!

Keep a graph (like on MFP) It really helps to see the overview. I weigh every day, but check the graph and can see what is going on much better, also measure your measurements and body fat if you can now and then, these tell you as much if not more about where you are...

I wanted to say that as of today I am the same weight as the above post..,

It has not gone lower it just bounces from 162 and 163 .

Are you telling me that the dreaded stall can happen while you are on the blessed 5:2!!!? BUMMER!! (Old hippie talk....) I have been lucky so far, but I'm sure its only a matter of time, I had a TON of 2-3-4 week stalls before the 5:2.

Haha! I think that's what imma saying! A good old fashioned stall complete with me having freak outs about it :P

But really my whole weight loss has been a stall with bits coming off here and there...

So don't use me as an example :D

Ha! Me too! I should remember this from my losing days... I've always lost in fits and starts, so I guess this is no exception... Let's see, though. Apart from yesterday's obscene indiscretion with the delicious chocolates (omg were they good...and omg was I sick to my stomach for a couple hours after, also had a cold sweat LOL), I have done fine with fasting and like how it makes me feel. That's good enough for me, and maybe eventually I'll lose a bit...

I don't know how I missed this topic!!!! I started 5:2 sometime in Mid-May... My nutritionist actually is a big supporter of it... She is the one who initially told me about it. My starting weight was about 192lbs... Now I am 175lbs I am doing really great on 5:2 but I also have been doing great with my running as well so I am attributing my success so far with both!!

I used to NEVER give my weight away....My drivers license was such a 50 pound lie! At some point (around surgery time) I just gave it up and started to use the real number. It was pretty freeing.

Feed that was me too! I think my biggest moment for me was taking my husband to my first consult with the surgeon and weighing myself in front of my husband! It was scary but freeing. And a shock to him because, bless him he never saw me "as that big" and thought I didn't need surgery.

It's funny it's almost a NSV... Letting him see, no he knows my number daily and is my biggest cheerleader :)

I SOO know what you mean, FYE, Laura and M2G. One of my biggest thrills is when I could honestly tell my husband that I weighed less than him! LOL He is a 5'10" skinny person so He loses like EVERY WEEK! Without trying. :(

He also never thought of me as "fat" and always made me feel pretty. Finally convinced him of surgery need when my Mom passed away. I think just being able now to say my weight outloud is amazing. (Not that I do it often!) LOL
