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

Globe, keep in mind 5:2 was designed as a longevity plan, and weight loss came second. Its still working even when you don't lose weight. If you like it, do it! AT least the 5:2 part.....

I too agree, my body enjoys ADR - or I thought it did! I mean, I feel good, it makes me enjoy my eating days and look forward to fast days as days I don't have to think about food. But after 19 days and no loss, I'm pretty bummed.

I'll keep that in mind, I'm switching over to 5:2 from ADF, to see what happens.

150! Goal today!!!!! Yaaaay!!!

Can't believe it. One week later from MY goal of Labor Day reaching 150.

Thankful and grateful for my support "peeps" here!

Now move on to 145! LOL

GeorgiaGeorgiaGeorGIAH! GeorgiaGeorgiaGeorGIAH! (sung to the conga line tune) yay! Were you completely naked when you weighed? Before a shower? I take any advantage I can get, lol.

Eating day since it is my Monday (it's Sunday), 2 scrambled eggs, .5C roasted potato, tea w/milk.

a double chocolate mocha frozen Protein Shake

Whatever Protein they offer at dinner, plus whatever greens they have for salad, 2 TBSP caesar dressing.

Flax seed in my shake, Vitamins and probiotic pills.

sounds good!

YES! Just peed, stripped to the bare, and standing just right! ha! Lol. No, I actually weighed about 5 times to get my picture just right And it was the same all times!

NOW, the real work starts! Although, I am going to continue "as is" right now as this is my new lifestyle.

The frozen protein shake sounds good!!!

Another 1lb this week, now 175lb, total loss on 5:2 so far is 6lb. It seems to be working for me.

I don't know if Monday weigh in is good though as it is after the weekend indulgences! I did see a lower number on the scale on Friday so I know it is achievable.

Awesome! That bounce is a norm for me. I hit a new low,bounce around a few days or a week, then hold that low before moving down again.

So glad for you Cathy!

I'm fasting today. So happy I am, I gained almost two pounds this weekend, has to be stress, I did some crap eating as well, but never over calories, so hopefully I can get back on track this week. Went on a lovely 2 1/2 hour bird watching hike yesterday... working on the stress!
