I've reached my goal!
13 Mar 2013, 08:09
It may not seem like a lot to those who are on a longer journey but I have lost 6lbs since starting 5:2 meaning I've reached my target of 9st 7lbs. I've also lost 2 inches from my waist. Although I was not overweight to start with my GP suggested that losing just a few pounds might help with my high-end-of-normal blood test readings.

I feel it is important to say that those 6lbs have been around for a very long time, hugging my middle and 5:2 is the only way of eating to shift them. I've tried other ways before and failed.

I am now going to experiement with 6:1 and other shorter fasts to maintain this weight. So, I will be keeping my progress tracker and update it monthly.

I have learned a lot from these forums. Thank you. :smile:

Well done Muppet!

Feeling the joy too as I've just reached target of 9st having lost 14 lbs since 14/1. Let's hope this is the way to keep those middle hugging pounds off!

I agree the forums are very helpful and I will continue to track and dip in and out.

Thanks everybody & keep going!

Well done! It will be interesting to see how you get on with maintenance as that's what I plan to do when I get down to my target weight. A few months to go yet for me, I fear!

It may be 6 lbs but it's your health and all the weight you haven't put on as well. Well done.

Well done you!
It can be harder to lose weight when there is only a small amount to lose and when others exclaim you don't need to lose weight at all. I hope your bloods have improved for you too.
