    I also practice a 5:2 meal plan.
    In 74 days I have lost 13.6 pounds and 43.5 inches off of my frame.
    This is one of the best things I have done for myself. :)

    Congratulations to you and thank you for sharing your success with us! Keep up the great work!

    I just started a 'modified' 5:2 yesterday, and received my first MFP negative comment. Apparently if I don't straight up say it's a fast day, I must be "eating like an anorexic". Made me sad:( . I would never make rude comments to people. Internet, or otherwise. You look Fantastic, and I am so happy to hear about getting off some meds! That is Awesomesauce! :flowerforyou:

    Sorry you had that.

    I make it very clear, almost like a disclaimer, when someone friends me that I do 5:2 so I don't get a load of ill-informed grief for doing IF from someone who barely knows me.

    There is a very supportive 5:2 group on here by the way.

    Congratulations - you look absolutely AMAZINGq!!!!!!!! and of course the totally fab news about being able to reduce your meds.
    your post has given me the motivation to continue with the 5:2, i started it, fell off the wagon ( i have 2 children, teenager and toddler boys and most of the day is spent feeding them :) and i just haven't been able to make the full day and then fell foul of the 'oh well, i'd better ignore today and start tomorrow'.
    so, again a huge congratulations to you and THANKYOU for posting :)

    I guess you're doing the 4:3 plan, then...and every other week it's the 3:4.

    How many calories do you typically eat on your feed days? Do you eat at maintenance, or pretty much whatever you want?
