    Finished my last day of Whole30 yesterday. I lost 17 lbs since October 7th. The combination of Whole30 and 5:2, for me at least, has been a complete success. I am going to keep doing 5:2 until I get to the wt I want to be at. May cycle back to Whole30 again or do a Whole7 variant. Will also try and stick to an 8:16

    Thx so much @orlcam and @thecarbmonster. I really appreciate the support.

    The whole thing just caught me off guard. For 9 weeks I had been steadily losing a bit at a time until the 9th week when I lost a whole 2 lbs. That was very exciting! It just surprised me to gain one of those pounds back a week later 2 1/2 months into this journey. :o

    I love this group! You all keep me going. <3

    @Foamroller - when I calculated my calories in vs calories out (which is not technically allowed in 5:2) it was a negative number. I ate less and burned more. So I guess it was good. I would say a grade of Fair. <3;)

    Since October 27 when I joined and started 5:2, I have lost a total of 4.50 pounds bringing my weight loss to 13.5 and getting me closer to my healthy BMI which is 18.5 pounds away!!! :D So near yet so far!!!

    You are doing fabulous - don't give up just yet. It honestly does get easier and easier. You will also have good day and bad days. Dr. M even says not to fast when you're ill! So listen to your body. If one day doesn't work then the next might be just perfect!

    I am back.....I pray that I can do this.

    Check out Mygrafew. I took one a day and it made a huge difference for me each month.

    Will that help me even from heavy women problems? They go hand in hand with the head ache. Thanks
