I seemed to bypass the fitting stage - trousers that were too tight are suddenly practically falling off. I'm currently favouring a pair of jeans that pre 5:2 I couldn't do up. Now they are just a bit too loose but a belt helps (a belt which I am no longer wearing on the largest setting but 2 or 3 notches smaller!)

Will be time to go shopping soon

Fantastic - well done you!!! Enjoy....
How long have you been doing this and what are your top tips? Thanks

Yes it's a problem my trousers today I rolled over the waist and they are still loose. Just mindlessly put them on as I still am in the mindset they fit.

Also the belt business, got out of the habit of belts (gave them away) so I only have one and used to do it up on the last notch. Same belt about 4 notches in now.

Woo Hoo! What a Great Feeling!

Yay can't beat a bit of 5;2 retail therapy

Thanks all!!

@Melting -- I started at the beginning of March, just to see what eating 500 cals in a day was like and with no real goal in mind, and haven't stopped since. My top tips would be to ease yourself into things; I have adapted as I have gone along, from 3 small meals a day, to two, to one, and now I've been trying just a 100-150 cal bowl of soup in the evening and this week tried my first liquid fast! I just have water and lemon juice in water all day long, and my appetite is heavily reduced on non-fast days, so I listen to what my body wants -- I usually skip breakfast now and concentrate on 2 meals a day.

Well done.

the theme of "falling trousers" and loose clothes. seems to be a common one here .... nice post here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6491

Mine are also loose, i have a safety pin to tighten them. cannot buy new ones until my thighs reduce(always the last place to loose on.

Well done on the weight loss

Awesome!! I cannot wait til this is me!!
