I was in two minds whether to post this or not........... Today I saw my target weight on the scales. Woooo hooooo!!!! Now, I expect it to bounce around and because my official weigh in day is Tuesday I'm not putting it on the tracker until it has stabilised and is showing on a Tuesday.
It is also my Valentines day target. If it is still the same tomorrow I will post it on that thread too.
So, listen up all you newbies and those with a long way to go........ You can do this!!!!!
I had no idea how to diet but have successfully lost 1st 7lb in 9 and a half months with the support of all you lovely people. I have faithfully stuck to 5:2 and 16:8 and daily weighing. Each to their own but that combo worked for me albeit slowly.
I am so pleased and can get into all (I think) of my clothes that were too small for me that I am going to enjoy this triumph and not change my target in the tracker for a while, then I will be confident enough to go for a bit more. I am undecided between 7lb and 1st so not sure what to set as my next goal. I will know it when I get there.
Keep going everyone

My personal take on 5:2 is;
Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays 5:2 36 hours
Green tea all day then less than 500 calories in one meal in the evening.
16:8 all the other days, wey-hey at weekends and daily weighing
It worked for me sloooowly
Height 5'4"
Goal Achieved after 9 1/2 months and now maintaining
In a fasting mainteneers fivesome with pennyforthem, callyanna, stowgateresident and auriga
