Wow getting that body fat down is such a great result!!!! Well done
:smooched:
Well, of course, it's not official nor strictly scientific/professional nor from the doctor's office percentage off...just from my body/water/fat home scale. It's been consistently 48% and today and last night it was 46%. I'm thrilled with that!0 -
Challenge Starting Weight: 205

Things are going well!:bigsmile:0 -
Little Gem you're pretty much the same as me We can do this!!! As long as I'm at 185 by the end of the year I'll be happy. Oh to be under 200!
Newlifestyle, I think if the scale repeatedly said you were 48% then I'd say you're fairly accurate Wish I had that type of scale 0 -

This is called a "Taylor" Body Fat Water Scale. It's relatively inexpensive (I think I spent something like $29.00-$39.00 dollars, BUT...I bought this scale about 10 years or so ago. There was a lifetime guarantee on it. I did something and it stopped working I remembered the "lifetime" guarantee and called them. The NICEST customer service people, explained to me that they no longer had the model I had and would send me the current one that most closely matched the one I had. WOW....I got a super nice one, and those darling people Federal Expressed it to me FOR FREE.
Just check "Taylor Brand" body fat scales...wonderful investment and great company! Not outrageously expensive AT all.
YAY!!!

You can do it! I remember when I was 221 and all I wanted was to be under 200. Now I want to be under 180 and it just takes determination and not giving up going backwards instead of forwards one day at a time. Everyday I just ask myself what can i do TODAY to lose weight, not tomorrow or next week when I feel like it but TODAY not matter what emotional turmoil, party or whatever. The bottomline is that we can always make healthy choices no matter what.0

Don't be too disappointed. I know its frustrating to not see the scales move, but stick with it. Give it another 3 weeks and if you don't see a change then maybe its not for you, but I'm sure you will in that time. How are you finding it?0 -

I found the first fast day to be really difficult but the fast I did yesterday was a lot easier.0 -

I know that feeling! Sometimes I find it impossible. but it does get easier the more you do it. And if you find you can't do it one day, just move it to another day and try again 0 -
I don't believe it. WTF am I doing wrong. Another gain this week! So 2.2kg loss, then 200, same, 200 and 500 gram gains. It is really disheartening and I feel like giving up. At least this week I have reduced my alcohol somewhat, which was my mini goal - might drink my weeks worth tonight to drown my sorrows though! Going out dancing tonight with my hubby so will at least get some exercise in. Thoughts anyone .... ???thyroid0

Very happy - 2lbs off for me this week taking me to 6 1/4 in 2 weeks!
Managed 1lb loss before doing 5:2 so now just over half a stone off.0 -
Gained 1lb this week but I know it's because I've eaten too much and not moved enough this week. If I can lose 4 lbs over the next 2 weeks I'll be back on track having Chinese tonight but that will be my only treat for the week I think. Don't want to be a fatty anymore! 0

Goal loss: 11 lbs

Loss this week: 1.8 lbs
(Two weeks 52, 4 fasts)0 -
Lost about 2 pounds last week but gained a pound back this week.
I didn't overeat on non-fast days at all so I'm thinking it's just normal weight fluctuations. I weigh every morning so hopefully in a day or two it will go back down.
I have less than 10 pounds to lose so I figure it might take awhile.0 -
any loss is a win I think the less you have to lose the harder it is. In theory that means that losing 70lbs like I want to, should be easy....maybe it would be if I stopped eating sugar! 0

***********
End of Week 2 8-18-13
Weigh in report...BLAST! I'm up .08 pounds--that's the bad news. The Okay news is my bodyfat% is the same. The GOOD news is: My jeans are fitting my waist much better, there is a wee bit of room, where-as 2 weeks ago, I could barely squeeze them on. My stomach is definitely looking a wee bit smaller too. :drinker: :huh: :ohwell: :huh: :drinker: 0 -
blame it on water retention. That's what I'm doing It could also be your muscles hanging on to more water because you're working them more. All other signs are positive so ignore the number on the scales this week You're doing amazingly! 0

This is wonderful. I've been doing it for a few months but I eat too much so my progress isn't great. Only 10lbs loss. But going to cut back on treats and hopefully I'll reach 185 by new year 0 -
No weight loss this week. It seems like my body is fighting against getting under 180 lbs! I guess since it has been soooooo long since I was that weight it does not want to cooperate with diet. My calorie intake has been good but perhaps too much fat and definitely too many carbs. Also missed Zumba on Saturday and that helps a lot, so I will double the Zumba for this next week 0

I love the positive attitude, I totally know what you're going through, and how fustrating that can be. This month I have been going up and down the same 2-4 pounds On the plus side, the dismay this tug-of-war caused is what lead me to the 5;2 diet and you guys! Although I'm only on my 2nd week I really think this diet is going to work! 0 -
Fasting today, weighing in tomorrow. Fingers crossed!0
