The FastDay Forum

Today is my weigh in day after my Saturday and Monday fasts. I have lost another two pounds this week bringing my weight to just under 9 stone

When I first started on 5:2, 9 stone was my goal weight, but since being on it for a while and looking at my bmi and my body shape (petite, pear shaped), I have decided to try and go down to 8 and a half stone.

For the last two weeks, I have been struggling with the eating days and I decided to 4:3 instead of 5:2 and this last week, I did two liquid only fasts.

Before that, a sort of pattern was emerging where I would lose a pound one week and then stay the same the next and then lose another pound the week after. Even on the weeks I didn't lose, I was losing inches.

I walk 15,000 steps a day (counted on my fitbit) and do hiit 3 times a week which I think help a lot too.

I'm really close now to my ideal weight and bmi and so far the weight loss is not slowing down

I hope somebody can get inspiration from this post as I have done from the others on here. Good luck everyone.

Well done on getting to your first target so fast!

I started at roughly the same weight - 9st 11 and am also petite and pear shaped. It's taken me a lot longer to lose the weight, but I've only been doing 5:2 and not as much exercise as you.

I've just got to 8st 10 (I can hardly believe it) and am aiming for 8st 7 or maybe even down to 8st 4 if I can keep it going.

Keep at it, it's so worth it when you look in the mirror.

Great post Unliela - you've done well on 5:2 - you'll be on maintenance any day now. Congratulations - another success story

Well done!!!

Thank you for such an inspiring post.
It is people like you who make the forum what it is.

Well done! My weight goal is 10 stone (5'3" stocky build), but my real goal is size 12 jeans, so I too may be moving the goalposts
