AMAZING! 3 weeks in...

by manaunl on 22 Mar 2013, 03:50

I just finished my 8th fasting day (3 weeks in). The first 2 weeks I did a 4:3 fast and this past week switched to a 5:2 fast. I've lost a total of 7.5 pounds! I first saw the 5:2 diet on the Today Show/Good Morning America? I immediately downloaded the book and started with the diet the following day. I figured, "what do I have to lose but weight?" The results seem too good to be true and I keep thinking that some of this weight loss is water weight and am waiting for the scale to creep back up (but it hasn't yet). But the results in how my pants fit is no lie! Pants that used to be very snug around my waist are fitting normally now and some are even loose! Wow! I am so pleased with my results thus far. After reading posts from this forum, I see that a big weight loss initially is to be expected but the weight loss should slow down to about a pound per week. (Which is totally fine). I just cannot express how amazed and pleased I am! :grin:

Just for the record, on my fast days (M & TH) I eat breakfast at 0700 (2 eggs and toast) and then eat a bowl of soup at 1800 (daily total calories 500-550). On the remaining feed days, I eat normally. In fact, this past week, I ate quite a bit of chocolate and was hoping to just maintain my previous weight loss. (Those darn Cadbury Eggs... do they put crack in them? Sooo addicting!) :wink:
