I had the exact same thing happen to me. I went back and looked and it wasn't that I was eating too much, it was that I was eating a lot of foods with a bunch of salt. I cut that out, and I was right back down. Another thing to check is to reset your goal for your new weight. I find that it drops about 10 calories for every pound to pound and a half. Hope this helps.

I have a fair amount left to lose as well. I had a month where I was up-down, up-down. It is so painful when this happens because you're doing everything you should be doing and it's not being rewarded on the scale. This lose-gain cycle was actually happening right before I went on vacation. I took two weeks off while on vacation and I think that actually helped break the cycle. Don't know if that's feasible for you. I ate at my maintenance calorie range during my vacation. I suggest in addition to looking at your sodium and also making sure you are drinking enough water. Have you tried mixing up your workout. Sometimes if you are doing the same workout routine and eating the same foods your body adapts and settles on a new weight set point. I wish you luck figuring it out. Friend me if you'd like. It'd be nice to have a 5;2 buddy who has a 50+ to lose.

I give up with it!! I'm so thrilled for others that it works for them. However I lost maybe a couple of kilos max in the first four weeks. Since then I have stuck with it for 10 weeks and I have put it all back on and more! And before anyone says it I have not been eating excessively on my non fast days, in fact I've been on average eating my maintenance calories. I don't think this has been good for my metabolism.
I wish it had worked as I actually enjoyed it but now I just feel awful when I look at those scales and my bloated tummy.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you dorrie. I feel your pain-- I have been trying without success to lose 15 pounds for two years now. I switched to 4:3 with some skipped meals on nonfast days-this has helped, as I lost 1.5 pounds in the last week.
