So it just past 9am here in England and I'm 36 hours in to my first liquid fast which was my aim. Just incase any new members of 5:2 are interested and for my future reference, I didn't find it so bad.
I thought the first 12 hours was easy, mainly because the majority of it I was sleeping. Throughout yesterday a full fasting day I was fine until the time my family decided to have thier evening meal, then my stomach started to rumble and I started to salivate (not attractive!). I found the distraction of a nice long bubble bath followed by a self pedicure and facial a very useful tool. I would usually have gone for a run but having already been in the morning I didn't want to push it on no food. Once I got past that point it was easy again, although going to bed on empty was a little strange. It took me a little longer than usual to fall asleep but I was tired and in bed eiarlier, I'm not sure if it is connected. I had a good nights sleep and woke up naturally about 8.30 am.
As you can...

Nearly 5 years, my how time flies. My current weight is 135, and I have decided to start fasting more often to get to my goal of 128. Anything between 128-132 is good these days. I have been around...

With two big holiday events in the past 10 days, my eating parameters have suffered a bit to say the least! For some reason I just could not get myself to fast this past week AT ALL, plus those two events...

Popped back up to the 155 range this morning (10/30/2017), but feels like this is the ceiling instead of the floor this time, which is encouraging. Besides, my monthly cycles appeared today, so must allow...

I'm currently shifting a lot of my mindset and methods this week, so I'm jumping off the weeks and switching to days. This is, after all, a whole life kind of thing, right? Besides, I don't like having...

Good luck, @moderatemeals! I think you'll love this way of life!
Losing 1.6 pounds is hardly a plateau! You are not going to keep losing at the same rate as the beginning. You should be very happy with 1 pound a week!
Thanks for the comment, cblasz.
Maybe this WOE is so successful that everyone's lost the weight and got on with their lives! I can hope ...

Yes, it is terribly dead here, especially lately. I think that people either just have all the information they need or have stopped this WOE. It is a shame. But stick around. It seems to go in waves....
