    @bburg86. I'll take inches lost ANY day over scale weight. It means you probably have lost more fat than water or LBM. The scales are only one metric, which wobbles a lot. Inches don't wobble that fast. Cheers.

    Hi Everyone. I'm new to the group and i'm in my second week of the 5:2. So far so good. I've only just back to MFP as i broke my leg late last year and my journey was derailed. I have yet to see how i will cope doing exercise on my FD's.....Will i die of hunger? My physio said i could start light exercise next week.....So it begins! Wish me luck!

    Hi all!
    Second Friday weigh in where my weight has held steady. I'm now incorporating Sunday as a fast day to break up the weekend indulgences.

    I need to tweak my diet. After losing so easily I got cocky and I need to reel it back in.
    I got a little sloppy on fast days and went over on non fast days.

    I did lose an 1" from my waist, so that's something, right?

    Yeah, like Foamroller said, that's a more useful metric than weight. You did good! So congratz.

    Week 23 - 0.2 lbs (0.09 kg ) 02/06/2015
    Total loss as of 02/06/2015 12.8 lbs (5.81 kg)

    Back to where I was the week before. Glad to be down a bit.

    @bburg86 - Weird fluctuations are normal. Trust the process. You will get there.

    I was exactly the same...got complacent after 14lbs just dropped off with 5:2 last year. I will not make the same mistake again! I know I get healthy on 5:2 and lose weight easily, but that doesn't mean I can get sloppy on the 'rules'!

    hi afridiva. I'm only a week ahead of you and it's nice to have you along. Should think taking weight off a recovering leg is a very good idea and you won't die of hunger! You'll be peckish but you'll know you can eat properly the next day. Very clever trick!

    JJ-same here! I made that mistake last year too. I lost 10 lbs easily then stopped. Gained weight back because I wasn't being careful.
    I could've been at my ideal weight had I stayed with it.
    Also logging on non-fast days is a must for me!!!
