Do you workout on fast days??
On Tuesday ( my last fast day), I surprisingly felt energized and did a 30 minute video.
At first it was hard but over time you do adjust and now fasted exercise feels just the same as exercise when fed.

Lost 1kg in 5 weeks. From 71 down to 70.
6kgs to go to get to pre-babies weight, then another 4 to reach my "I like myself" weight.
I lack discipline and love chocolate - but only 2 boxes of the Christmas choccies left - I'm easy to buy for:)! Things might start speeding up then!0 -

I put a LOT of weight on when we bought our first house (an investment job) so we spent our days working and evenings eating takeaways. I went right back up to 170lbs from September to January. We're now very settled and I'm able to cook (thank god!) so I'm very much back on it, with a 9lb loss in 5 weeks and on my 10th fast today. I would like to reach 150 by April, however recently I have found I have some sort of illness/condition which is yet to be diagnosed. This is causing me to continuously bloat, have various aches and pains in my lower abdomen and lower back - but is nothing to do with 5:2. I'm going for tests at the Doctors tomorrow. This WOL is the only thing that works for me, and helps my relationship with food. I would ideally like to reach goal by the end of the year, however I'm happy if it's slow - as long as it's going in the right direction.
Have you been tested for Celiac Disease? These were my symptoms too. I went undiagnosed for years.0 -

This is the ONLY thing that worked for me. I am a nutritionist, I have done everything but get real and this has been my savior!!!
it took 6 months to lose 40 pounds. I have gone up and down only 5 pounds since. that is great results in keeping it off.0 -
I started this on January 8 and I've already lost 12 pounds (five weeks - 12 pounds!). I'm 5'2", weigh 160 (started at 172). My goal is 132.0

Hellz ya it works.

Hoping for 6 lbs in Feb. Then I can ring in my flirty forties.0 -
Thanks! Hearing results is always motivating. This is only my second week (yesterday was my third fast). I need to stick with this and give it a shot! I plan to stay off of the scale until March 13th and see where that puts me.0

Some great motivational stories here - I started because I was absolutely adamant that I wasn't going to buy a larger size in jeans and I was struggling to get into the one pair which fitted me!
Seven weeks down the line I have ditched those and am now in a size smaller. I have work trousers I wore three years ago which are still way too small though. So rather than going by scales, which as has already been said do seem to fluctuate quite a bit, getting into these will be my next goal, and the goal after that to get them fastened!
