Hi folks,
I am a catastrophic dieter. The harder I tried to lose weight the fatter I got. I was really nervous about starting 5:2....because I am really motivated against feeling unpleasant in any way. I think this is because I had a few health disasters as a child. Now, I absolutely have not been able to calorie restrict myself for more than a day for about 10 years, the result of signing on to SureSlim.....that is another story, but, the bottom line is even thinking about restricting my eating made me binge.
I am coming up to my third week of 5:2 and it is really liberating. I am losing weight, so far, and not turning crazy.... This is great....more later....

Well I'm on my 6th fast day and it's getting to be a habit now. I know what to expect and how my body will respond. Weird thing it's TOM and I have no pains, I always get pains. Is this 5:2 doing this? Weigh day tomorrow, not sure if I will lose anything, but hopeful. :)

Just had to record how chuffed I am!

4 weeks in, still losing 2lbs a week, keep waiting for it to slow down. But the best thing? I've lost 3 inches off my waist! 3 inches!! Jeans that were tight a month ago are now loose, belts are having to be done up on second and third holes and not the largest.

I'm swimming 3 times a week before work as usual, and on the days I can't be arsed I just think of my clothes getting bigger and off I go :cool:

Not wanting to sound like a smart As*, but I am concerned that I might be losing too much too quick. I have lost 13 plus kgs since January. I have been sticking to the 2 day calorie reduction very well, and have experienced no negative effects at all. Dovetailed into this has been a well managed exercise program, combining initially swimming, and now some moderate hill hikes.

The question is. Is the loss of 790 grams per week too much?

I must say, I am eating well, and am rocking along.
