Happy Friday my fellow 5:2ers,

Today was my "official" weight in day (although I do it several times daily but only focus on my friday morning weigh in)

annnnd... this week; on my 2nd week of 5:2 I've lost another 2lbs! I know it's not a lot, but as a PCOS sufferer to have lost 4 in my first week and 2 this week I'm completely over the moon.

I can't express my delight, I rarely do these big happy/braggy posts but I just wanted to thank you all for your lovely support this week.. it's helped me so much, and THANK YOU 5:2!

I know it'll probably start to mellow soon and drop to a max of 1lb, but that's my goal - 1 a week, so I'm ok with that. I feel like I've tried so many diets/WOE and this one just fits right and seems to work for me and my lifestyle.

Anybody else weighing in today, how did you do?

Fantastic, so pleased for you! I weigh on the first of each month and this time I have gained but such is life.

Well done MrsGToBe, that's nearly half a stone already. Friday is my official weigh in day as well and finally after 5 weeks I have got back to my pre having people to stay weight. Just a shame, weight wise, we've got friends arriving on Monday so a week off fasting for me.

I'd say that is excellent! The average here is about a pound a week. Well done on your great start

Well done you. It's lovely to read happy posts. Friday is my official weigh in day though I weigh daily too. Going up and down a bit at the moment but bobbing around a weight that I am happy with so not going to beat myself up about it

Well Done,
I have lost today as well, only 0.6lbs since my last logged weight on the 22nd, but....those numbers hide the fact that at the beginning of this week I was nearly 1.5 lbs heavier than I am today. Which goes to show that a proper week of 5:2 does work.

Well done

How was the migraine this last fast day? I can't remember where the correct thread is but hope you got through the day better.

I haven't lost this week but have maintained I'm not disappointed as it's half term and I've not been as active.

Thanks all
it's a non-fast day today and I'm having wraps for dinner, hope it doesn't ruin my good result too much!

My migraine was better, but I did have a headache from about 12pm - 5ish, but after a coffee it definitely eased off. I won't be skipping coffee again on a fast day.
Thanks for asking ...I hope as the weeks go on and I get more used to and settled into 5:2 the headaches go altogether

Well done MrsG2B
Great job done I've been working hard for ten days repairing holiday damage so have just reported in with a small loss of 750grams
Take a look on the Nov weigh-in link to see how everyone has done each month
Good Luck for the next week. Sue.

Glad to hear about the migraines being a bit better - maybe caffeine is the key!

Well done that is fantastic, I am in my first week so gr8 to see good losses and 2lb is a gr8 weekly loss x
