First official weigh in after 4 weeks of fasting

Hello Everyone!!!
I feel like I know most of you, as I have been reading your posts for 4 weeks now :oops:

so today I finally joined the group :like:

so I started fasting on March 19 doing 5:2 and after 4 weeks of fasting I am down 3.5 pounds and I am so excited as this is the lowest I have been for 2 years (I know I am a slow loser so thats why I decided to only weigh in monthly as I do not want to be discouraged). This so far is the only thing that has made my scale move, I eat right and exercise most days and I'm still obese, my dr. has run test to make sure I didn't have thyroid issues and all comes back good as a matter of fact he said my blood work is the best hes ever seen all my levels were outstanding go figure and I'm still obese??? Again Thank you everybody for posting it really helped me to get through these 4 weeks, hers to the next 4 :wink:

Wow you sound exactly like me!! I am not weighing for a month due to the same reason ....I am only on my second week - really hope that this makes a difference to me as have tried everything else under the sun and if this does work then it will make it all worth while (am fasting today and I am hungry - not eating til this evening) I am determined to give this a good go to see whether it works for me and there is something out there that will shift some of the pounds. I hope that I too have the same kind of result as you - thanks for posting this today it has made me even more determined and is helping to stave off the hunger pangs. Well done - and let's keep going!
