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...

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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
