Okay so I know this is fairly pathetic, but one of my friends has moved to Qatar for a year or 2 and has teamed up with a PE teacher and is going crazy on the protein and workouts, aiming to be super toned when she comes back for christmas. This girl is already absolutely stunning, so this motivation of hers has really given me a push up the bum and now I'm determined!
So, I'm going to focus on only eating food that will benefit my body. Lonypony's suggestion website is amazing btw - http://www.lavenderandlovage.com/category/posts/general/5-2-diet
Avoid chocolate and sugary crap unless I really need it and drink loads of water and herbal teas.
On the workout side I'm going to ensure I walk everyday, even if only for 20 minutes. Plus weight training, yoga and running. Hopefully I can get down to just overweight on the BMI scale by 2014, but I'm going to focus on measurements as well as hopefully I'll be gaining some muscle and slimming down

Thats not pathetic at all, thats a great approach. I'm obviously still a work in progress but when I first started losing weight it kinda just happened without me realizing it ( this is before I started dieting, counting calories, or even working out). I know it happened because I just stopped eating processed foods. I got a new job at a law firm that lays out food for clients daily, chips, nuts, candy, chocolate, fresh baked cookies, you name it. Being surrounded by this stuff daily made me stop craving it so I just stopped eating it even at home. I didn't think much of it but when my clothes started to fit me lose, thats when I took an active approach.0 -
Things are going very well for me. I am now at 193 lbs. Ahead of my goal. I attribute it to keeping under my TDEE, logging my food faithfully and making sure that I exercise M - F for an hour. Looking forward to the next few pounds gone!0

Amazingly i've only put on 2lbs, must be all the walking we did!
The only silly thing i did was go out for a big Sunday lunch yesterday so i haven't eaten since 1.30pm yesterday afternoon, feeling it now!!0 -

I've been sick with asthma flare after respiratory virus so have not been on MFP at all for awhile. Gradually feeling better so checking in. I'll weigh in the morning and see where I am. Good luck to everyone with your goals!0

Today's my first day back on 5:2 since being sick for a couple of weeks and so glad to finally get back to eating better.0 -
well done for maintaining that loss even though you were ill! that is very impressive. glad you are better now! and best of luck with it!
I forgot to add my weigh in from Thursday. Lost 4lbs, but I'd gained weight, so I don't think I've lost anything since I started this challenge, but I'll get there eventually 0 -
Running total lost since challenge start:
7th Aug - 9.1 lbs lost
17th Aug - 9.8lbs lost
10th Sept - 6.1lbs lost
22nd Sept - 2.8lbs lost
29th Sept - 7lbs lost
So in total over the challenge I've gained 2lbs, but I haven't been fasting as often or as well as the plan outlines, so I'm only relieved it isn't more. Here's hoping I will show a better loss by the end of the challenge, at the end of October! I've got about 4.5 weeks to go! Aiming for at least another 7lbs lost, totaling 1 stone since my highest ever weight
Actually, scratch that! If I lose another half a stone I'll be so close to onederland....so that is what I am aiming for!
8.5lbs til Onederland!!!!0 -
Oct 2 -- 187 lbs… I am ahead of my goal weight! :happy:0

I completed my first fast day yesterday. It has been nice to read the comments and see the progress all of you have been making. Great job!!0

Hi 123janea! Let us know how you get on
My weight loss has been very slow but I'm seeing changes on the inches front and I just need to focus more on eating clean during my non fast days.
Progress so far.
7th Aug - 9.1 lbs lost
17th Aug - 9.8lbs lost
10th Sept - 6.1lbs lost
22nd Sept - 2.8lbs lost
29th Sept - 7lbs lost
12th Oct - 7.6lbs lost.
So that is a 1.5lb gain in total but I've lost a few inches so not feeling too bad about that. I'm sure the weight will come off eventually!0 -
CW: 185
GW: I can't remember what we said was the end date…but I hope to be at 180 by Nov. 2nd
Things are going well with 5:2. This week, I reached the 40 pounds loss mark! So…I am halfway to goal!!!! :blushing:0 -
Hi guys,
I just wanted to update you to let you know I didn't just disappear. I have decided that I can't handle the fast days. I do well but my brain doesn't seem to like it too much. I just get to where I can't think clearly enough, etc so I am going back to just trying to eat healthy and limit daily calories. The 5:2 trial seems to have kickstarted me though so we'll see how it goes. Hang in there everyone and good luck.0
