I have been doing the 5:2 way of life since February now and am really pleased with the results. I have not been weighing myself and want to continue to avoid doing that. I have been taking measurements instead although I didn't have the courage to do this for the first couple of weeks so the loss is possibly greater than this.
The change in measurements are as follows (all a loss)
Waist - 9.5 cm
Bust - 9 cm
Under bust - 4 cm
Hips - 14 cm
Widest part of bottom - 17 cm
Top of thighs under bottom - 13 cm
Right Thigh - 13
Right Calf - 4 cm
Left Upper arm - 3.5 cm
My waist to height ratio has gone from 0.52 to 0.43
More than the actual changes in measurements has been a change in body shape and an overall better balance in my figure (am pear shaped). I still have a lot of energy and look forward to the fast days. I am really enjoying this WOL and will not be stopping it any time soon.
My advice to anyone starting out it to think about what you want to achieve and look upon this diet as a long term approach. It doesn't happen over night but it will get you there eventually.
