Hi Everyone,

So happy and excited to finally be a part of this group! I was sleeved on 5/21/12. My highest weight was 299 pounds. When I first saw my surgeon, I was 294.4. Surgery weight 279 and current weight 166. I've been eating the 5.2 way for about 3 weeks now. I've been stuck for months trying to get the scales to move. I'm hoping this works for me and I know I have to be patient. My goal is 150. I'm 5'6" tall. So at 150 my BMI will be just below 25. :)

Thanks again for the add! Looking forward to getting to know each one of you here. :) Attached are some before and afters. I hope showing my bra isn't too much. lol I'm really excited to be where I am today but really I don't want to stop here. I need to be in the normal range for my height. But still.... I'm so grateful!!!

Welcome! We don't have any magic though. I don't know how people do it with families. At least I don't have to cook much for other people.

I honestly was giving up hope that I would ever get back down to my goal weight again. Now I am only 4 lbs away after losing most of my regain.

For some reason, 5:2 works better than low carb or low calorie diets.

Welcome, this a bunch of very supportive people. We all seem to be at the same point in our journey, we can see goal or we have seen it and it has slipped past. The 5:2 is not a fast weight loss process but I do believe it is one that I can live with for a long time.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
