I'm here! I've been doing 5:2 since on/around 23 June and am down 7 pounds from that time. At one point, I was down 8 but have been stuck between 7-8 pounds down total for the past three weeks. I have seen lower numbers but keep bouncing back up into this range, which is clearly a happy weight for my stubborn body.

Seven more to go to be at my original goal of 135 pounds (which, sadly, is still top end of the stupid BMI for me...) and hoping I'll make it there by my birthday in November. :)

And FYE, M2G and Supersweetums all look fabulous in your new photos!

No scales on vacay. Did decent til 2 days ago and um, not good since then. Walking and hiking but... Well, as I said. I DEFINITELY do better on a routine.

High guys! Everyone with new pictures!

Looking good!

I've heard back from two girls and they are still doing it so I'm encouraging them to be a little more active still waiting for a few more

A problem some are having is not being able to sign in on their mobile apps

HERE IS A TRICK I USE...

Every time I log out on my iPhone it does the Denies permission to view the 5:2 group.

Alex has told me its because the groups don't work on the apps.

BUT....what I do is. Go to my "conversations" and click on the original invite to the group and it takes me to the full web version... And as soon as I do that I go back to the app and voila it's working again... Weird I know but it's the only way to do it for me...

What a PITA! I hope Alex gets that fixed soon.

I heard you had to enter through a browser.

Full confession: I have not stepped on the scale since starting 5:2, I am afraid. :/ Right now am fighting giardia so not eating at all, yesterday had one mouthful of plain boiled potato. It has been 6 days of this :(.

Thanks Laura for reaching out to me! I started doing the 5:2 in July, dropped 7 pounds, my scheduled got crazy and I haven't been posting. I also couldn't access the group on my ipad, but I just tried Laura's tip and it truly works!! Glad to see everyone doing well and I will get on here and post. I truly thank Georgia for even introducing this to me thru her posts. I would have never tried it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
