  • Glad to see I'm not the only one in this height range :) I'm 5'3" and started in mid-January at 180 lbs, I'm not dieting persay but realing tracking calories and moved from personal workouts to 3 days alone and 3 days group fitness. Just weighed in today at 167 so it seems to be finally doing the trick after years of…

  • I'm not sure this counts for everyone, my BMR is 1410 and for years I exercised regularly and ate at around the 13-1500 calories a day rate and couldnt loose a pound or inch. A few weeks ago I dropped to 1,000 a day, and am now FINALLY loosing weight, after learning this had worked successfully for one of my siblings who…
    in why should not I eat less than 1,200 calories a day? Comment by jennelinow March 2013
  • I was very excited about the alternate day fasting, but I fear Im too much of a hard luck case. Im a month into trying the 5:2 500/1600, with one day a week up to 2000 and working out 3 times a week for an hour I have lost a wapping one pound....Ive always struggled with dieting but I think even then I should have lost…

  • Salad and veg are great to fill up on and if you throw on some beans or low fat cheeses, like feta, you can get in your protein. I find a lot of it is just about knowing what cravings youll get when and prepare so you have the food and arent tempted.

  • If you find the 3 down too much Im trying the 5:2 to start with, that puts me on track to loss about 1.5 lbs a week which is about whats recommended so u might want to try this, I go down tues and thurs which are my non work out days and then have sunday as my one day to not track food at all or work out.
    in how many down days do you have Comment by jennelinow August 2012
  • this is definitely all about preparation and controlling those cravings! I'm on a business trip and having to plan 500 calories when your out with people or on vacation is really challenging. I brought most of my food on the travel day and fasted since Id be in transit but its hard when you have to walk by the TONS of…

  • My first weigh-in after a week on the 5:2, this morning was the day after the second down day and it looks like Im down 4 lbs. That being said I was curious how it would change overnight so last night I weighed in at 1lb down. So I'm going to be excited that there seems to be some progress, but I'll wait till week 2 to…

  • The fasting gives people a lot of options to make sure you pick something you can handle, I think as with all diets the key here is what works for you and what can you stick with. Some people do 18/6, 18 hr fast 6 hrs eating, Im on the 5:2 where you eat 500 for womenn 600 for men, 2 days a week. Even there some people eat…

  • On the first week of this diet and waiting to see how it goes, Ive tried diets before with usually no results but at 180 and 5'3" Im officially fed up! I work out, dont eat fast food, but I drink and I know I eat things I shouldnt. I'm on the second fast day and I was STARVING first thing this morning, but the first fast…
