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

Ok! ok! break it up you rainbow tongued girls! Some of us are sucking down a Protein Shake tonight....

Lactose intolerant.

Sorry! Poor form from me! I'm sure my scale will give me a reality check about eating such things in the morning. I have to say, when I got home and input all the crap I ate today into MFP. I didn't have enough cals to have dinner! (sadface) Anyway, I went over by about 150 cals, but some days are like that. New day tomorrow, and fast day on Monday. Have a nice sleep all.

I've started a new routine at the gym, focusing solely on muscle-buillding . That, plus a vigorous recommitment to ADR and I have decided to not weigh for 30 days! On the 18th I weighed in at 191.2 My ADR is 1650-1700 norms, 600 or less fasts, my exercise routine is 5 days a week, 30 minutes of max/near max weight lifting and body weight exercises with an arms day, back day, legs day, etc.

So, we shall see, wish me luck!

Okay...make today 3 weeks since I started and now the number is:

-9lbs

Now, 5 weeks of 5:2 done and still down -9lbs. Wishing it was more but have been stalled for the last 2 weeks. Grrrr!

We all hate stalls! But you are still a success! Hang in there girl, it will come off in its own sweet time. You no doubt have lived through many stalls in the past, and broke through them. You will with this one too. 9 POUNDS!!! hurray!!!

Thanks ladies...I know this too shall pass. But thanks for letting me whine about it here.

Yes and the -9lbs are GONE nothing to be sad about!!

177lb for me today, that means I lost the weight I put on last week plus an additional pound (total of 4lb now, start July 17).

Yay, Cathy!!!!

Start Date: 7/16/2013

Loss as of: 8/1/2013

-5lbs!!!

Well, I guess it can be "official" I finally broke my stall and now since July 16, 2013 I have lost...

-10lbs

Woo hoo! I teetered on the the -9lbs thing for a loooooong time. So I'm hoping this sticks. I did see a smidge lower than that (-11) last Fri am after my 2nd day of fasting and then the weekend came and there was a dinner party and some lovely Tuaca to drink and that new low-low quickly vanished. But I'm going to call it official since today is my weigh-in day for the 5:2 way.

Congrats~ 10 is a good chunk of weight, your cloths must be falling off at this point girl!

I lost my mexican food bounce this morning... plus a smidgen more .2.... new low.

start date June 11th, lost so far....12 weeks.....

-13.5 pounds.

Very awesome!

I've found that what happens with me is I lose to a new low, bounce up a couple lbs, and them stabilize at that low for a week or so. Then that cycle starts again.

Working on staying at low of 153 now. By the end of this week I should be stable unless I get too carried away on feast days.

Start 177

Low. 153 trying to "hold" this weight for a while.

Hoped to get to 150 go by Labor Day but don't think that will be happening unless I somehow "chunk lose". LOL

Great job M2G!

I'm staying around 158 but at the doctors today their scale said 161!!!!

I'm hoping my shoes and clothes weigh a lot

It sucks because I wiegh in tomorrow with my bariatric surgeon and it will be fully clothed too. So yeah. When I weigh at home it's naked and I exhale
