My first couple of weeks have gone well! I had gone up 4 pounds prior to this challenge while on vacation, and I have lost that weight plus one more pound in the last two weeks. I fasted this week on Sunday and Monday. I ate nothing. I find that I don't struggle with hunger as much when I tell myself that I am not going to…

I regularly fast two days in a row without any food. I do drink coffee (2 -3 cups) and lots of water! I find that I do better if I don't eat any food at all on my fast days. Often, I do my fast days back to back…and I usually am down 4 pounds. Dr. Mosley did a four day fast and many people do fasts for religious reasons. I…

Hi Everyone! My name is Deb. I started MFP in late June and saw something about 5:2 here. It intrigued me, so I went out and bought The Fast Diet book and read it from cover to cover in a day and started my first fast the next day. Dr. Mosley's first fast was for four days and he ate nothing. I figured if he can do that, I…

I plan on eating more healthier on my nonfast days. :smile:

I am walking 4 miles per hour on Mondays through Fridays. I hope to add weights soon.

By Nov. 7th: Goal loss: 20 lbs. (185 lbs. on the scale) Loss to date: I started 7 weeks ago and have lost 20 pounds. Loss this week: 4 lbs.

As my husband would say, "Ooo- Rah!" You look sharp in your uniform and are wearing it proudly. Thanks for serving our country!

Totally agree! Besides the 30 pound weight loss, you've also acquired many health benefits (I would imagine) like better cholesterol levels, blood pressure, etc. Congratulations on your loss by the way!

You look great! Wonderful job!

You are an inspiration! Well done!

Your story of success is just what I needed to see and read. It is hard to believe that the person in the first picture is you…such a transformation!

I know many have said this before… You look amazing! "Not much to look at…" That is certainly not true… You are very handsome and your hard work has paid off!

You go girlie! You are doing amazingly! Beautiful gal!

I also have hypothyrodism and have had it for five years. Since then, I have put on 50 plus pounds. I can't seem to lose them even when I exercise 5 times a week and eat 1400 - 1600 calories per day. I have just read "The Fast Diet" book and started today with my first fast day. I was put on thyroid meds and have taken…

I would like to join this challenge, too! :)
