Hi All, After not weighing myself for 4-5 months, I finally plucked up the courage to do so and I have gained 8lbs back! this has got to go and another 4-7lbs after that. The good news is I lost 3.5lbs in my first week! it would be great to have some new friends to help encourage each other. Please feel free to add me but please include a message :smile:

    I'm in my 4th week, and I'm losing weight. I didn't lose 3.5 pounds in a week, but it's been steady. More to the point, I'm not as bloated as I had been, my clothes fit better, and I feel better.

    Good job @argos14 ! Some weeks are more challenging, but sounds like you're off to a great start! I'm one year in this way of eating and mostly at the maintenance level, so I'm more of a 6:1, but it always feels good to have a good solid fast day completed. Good luck and don't forget to drink your water :)

    Started 5:2 today. Feel hopeful this will work. Just can't seem to lose any other way. I'm hungry and nervous! Would love to hear some real success stories. Read the book, hopefully the hunger goes away !

    Hey there. I've been doing 5:2 or 6:1 over the past couple years and like it a lot. Anyone's welcome to add me and I'll try to help with stuff when I can.

    People who are new to this: it works well, and the hunger becomes much less of a big deal in your mind as you get used to it. So uh, fret not!
