I've lost a whopping 10cm (4") off my waist since I started 5:2 on 1 August. I measured my waist the day before (31 July). Yesterday I noticed how loose my jeans were. I bought this particular pair in September last year, without trying them on, for a holiday. When I got home and tried them on, I couldn't get the button to meet the button hole - it was about 1cm gap. I did a lot of walking on that holiday a year ago and on my return I could button the jeans. But no more until 5:2.
This morning I got the tape measure out and found I'd lost 3cm since 27 September (this year, not last!) so that's a whole 10cm since 31 July. It's not quite 10 weeks so I am very, very happy.
I've lost from my hips, belly and thighs too, but as the waist is the real health indicator this is a real motivator for me.
(Tried to post a pic in the other forum but it just wouldn't do it.)
