Just felt like writing a quick summary of my seven weeks on 5:2. I have been faithfully weighing, measuring and recording everything I eat and drink on Calorie Count (similar to My Fitness Pal) and am delighted to record the following results:
Start Weight 139 lbs
Current Weight 127 lbs
Goal Weight 125 lbs
Aside from the weight loss I seem to have kicked the chocolate monster into touch and my palate has adjusted well to more savoury items overall (apart from last night when I enjoyed home made apple and raspberry pie with vanilla ice cream).
Whilst I appreciate many of you don't like the idea of counting calories on non-fast days I am trying to learn to judge calorie content by portion size and also making sure I don't go over the TDEE recommended on the tracker.
Other health benefits include more energy, better sleep patterns, less money spent as healthy food costs less than the sweet foods and drinks I was ingesting on a daily basis. My only form of exercise is walking - and that's not very fast.
I now have a shape radically different from a cube and I now have a flat tummy and can see my knees and toes! Being on the short side, 5'2'', the 12 lbs I have lost really do make a difference!
