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…

Great advice ladies, thanks. And let's remember all of the other documented health benefits aside from just shifting the pounds. I do always feel less sluggish and just better in myself after a fast day so I won't quit even if I continue to not lose any weight.

I find I can eat just as much as I used to on the non-fast days! Sadly the decreased appetite and feeling fuller quicker hasn't really happened to me. And I haven't actually lost anything doing this. But isn't the point of 5:2 so that you can have a bit of a blow out once in a while and not really worry about it?

I haven't lost anything so far. Current weight (I did actually weigh myself this morning) is 60kg, the heaviest I've ever been. And hoping to get down to 54kg. Sucks to see no progress whatsoever! I think im probably having too many treats on my non fast days.

OK - is anyone out there finding it's NOT working? Admittedly I'm a bit anti-scales, I don't use them. I go on how my jeans are fitting instead and just generally how I feel. I've been doing 5:2 for 8 weeks or so now, and only ruined one fasting day in that whole time, otherwise stuck to it completely! I don't know where…

Love this! Good luck in your dating ventures... I guess you'll just struggle to fit in your fast days with these high levels of demand

Great work! Well done ☺️ I have similar stats to you and I'm 4 weeks in. If I lose a stone in another 6 weeks time I'll be thrilled! You gonna stay on 5:2?

I'm 3 weeks in now and it's quite tough to not see any obvious effects yet. I'm used to doing crash diets in the past and seeing quite rapid weight loss so I just need to keep telling myself it's a long term goal! Maybe I'll consider the 4:3 as I too am at 60kg so thinking that the extra weight doesn't shift as fast to…

Brilliant! Well done everyone, this is really motivating.

Hi everyone, I've just started and it's good to read some posts from 'veterans' as well as newbies like me! Just wondering if anyone ever starts their fast after a normal lunch and then lasts on 500 cals until dinner the next day? I read that you don't necessarily have to start in the morning..
