Loss = 4.7 kg

Waist 9 Jan = 82 cm
Waist 7 Dec = 76 cm
Loss = 6 cm or 2 1/4 inches.

How do I feel? Fabulous! Just looking in the mirror confirms the big difference. I have lost most of the flab round the middle, my clothes fit better and I still eat cake! My BMI is 22.11 so well within average.
This was a very slow but mostly steady loss so no prizes for amazing stats, but being only 158 tall, losing 6cms from my waist is incredible. I have learnt that I can control my weight and Christmas holds no fear as I have planned my fast days already. Unexpectedly having tried a lot of Mimi Spencers recipes, I am enjoying new flavours in my food.



For the record, my OH lost a stone and does 6:1 and continues to appreciate and support me.
5:2 Rocks!

I think because I have been doing this for so long I now just feel 'normal'. However when I reflect on how I felt before I used to feel awful before - bloated, uncomfortable, irritable, fat and ugly, so it is all very positive.
Weight 3 Nov. 65.5kg

Loss. 2.5kg

Waist 3 Nov. 84cm
Waist 7 dec. 82.5cm
Loss. 1.5cm

Started 27 April (32 weeks ago)
Weight. 69.9kkg. (11st)
Waist. 99cm. (39in)

Loss - 7kg or 15lbs. And 6.5 in or 15cm off waist.
BMI down 2.5 points. Waist ratio now below 50%
Bodyfat from 34.2 down to 29.1

Very happy - but 5.5 lb weight loss in the last 5 weeks could be due to stress over job situation, so may not be realistic. This loss is my largest loss in the time frame. And I have been keeping to 16:8 and irregular fasts over the last month.

Interviews Monday and Tuesday, so may have lost even more by then :bugeyes: :confused:
:heart: :heart: Thanks Caroline for all your hard work :heart:
Happy Christmas and enjoy the break :heart: :heart: :heart:

:like: weightloss this month = 2kg
:like: waist reduced this month 1cm !!!!! ( stuck or what )

Found this WOL mid April and started on 13th
This is 34 weeks in.
Total lost 50*5 lbs ( 22*9 KGS I think lol )
Total waist reduced 13 cm
How do I feel? F/Fantastic !!! never better this WOL/WOE has totally changed my body shape like nothing on this planet has ever achieved before :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
Obviously the weightloss and shape changing is a massive plus for me but also at roughly the 4 month mark I also
started to feel the health benefits that comes with this plan.
Back in April I was virtually housebound with the snow because of my oedema wearing men's fully adjustable sandals they were the only things that I could
get on my feet.
I've recently happily bined them because now I have recycled my sandals from the box room
bagged up + ready to go !!!
Even at my 2*5 stone loss my feet were bad but obviously not the same as my start then suddenly for whatever reason my feet + legs started to reduce :heart: :heart: :heart: I can't put into words how I'm feeling right now and this is the 2nd time in 2 days that I've posted this remark with happy tears really sliding down my cheeks. The icing on the cake for me :heart:
Sorry for the long on Carro but you asked how I was feeling.
So tonight's 1st xmas meal I'll be wearing a SKIT + sandals
This will be the first time in roughly 3 years :heart: :heart:
:shock: you didn't ask for negatives but I'll pop one in
:shock: I'm probably going to be bald next year but truthfully I couldn't care less :shock: I'll take the weightloss in favour of that any day :clover: :clover: :clover: :clover: Sue :clover:

I am back to being content with my weight, and happy with the reflection I get a glimpse of as I pass a shop window. If I can manage stay this weight for the rest of my life I will be happy. If to do it I have to 5/2 for the rest of my life I will be happy, considering the health benefits . Thanks for all the forum support.
7/12/13 weight 72.5 kg waist 84cm

1/11/13 weight 71.8 kg waist 84cm gain of 0.7 kg :neutral:


I started on 21/1/13 and I was about 78 kg and my waist was about 90cm - total loss 5.5 kg waist 6cm :smile:


I'm really happy that I'm a healthier weight now than I have been for years. I find fasting for two days a week is pretty easy. I'm glad I don't have to eat breakfast every day, I'm learning to to respond to hunger as a trigger to eat rather than the availability of food and the time of day.

I'm going to keep on fasting. However, as I have been hovering around the same weight for a few months now, I will have to find a way to consume less than I do now in order to lose more weight.
I joined the forum on 31st January 2013 & have lost 12.3kg. :grin:
Waist was 104cm now 91.4cm :confused: it's been unchanged for many weeks!

11th November 2013 weight was 86.64kg.
7th December 2013 weight is 84.82kg.
Weight lost in month 1.48kg.

I am very happy with this WOE because it enables me to eat normally & have a social life as well as losing weight, admittedly very slowly but at least I am keeping going down. I have not yet reached the halfway stage to my goal weight but envisage doing this WOL forever because it is so easy. I fast 2 days, 16:8 3 days & have wayhey weekends with wine & puddings :lol:
My BMI was 37.92 & is now 33.13 & my arthritic knees are much better & I haven't been ill at all this year apart from Dysentary acquired when on holiday in Egypt.
A very big thank you to Moogie & Caroline for starting this forum :star: :star: :announce: :drink: :drink:
Start weight 12th Sept: 180lbs (81.64kg) waist 38in (96.5cm)
weight 5th Oct: 173lbs (78.47kg) waist 37.5in (95.2cm)
weight 2nd Nov: 172.2lbs (78.10kg) waist 36.5in (92.7cm)
weight 7 Dec: 170lbs (77.11kg) waist 36.5in (92.7cm)

For the month that's a loss of 2.2lbs (0.99kg) and waist has stayed the same.
In 13 weeks on 5:2 I've lost 10lbs (4.5kg) and 1.5inch (3.8cm) off my waist.

I know it's really slow but that's ok. I love 5:2 and I'm just so happy I found it before I got any bigger. It doesn't even feel like I'm trying to lose weight and in the last 13 weeks it's not even crossed my mind to not do my 2 fast. For the first year for a long time I'm not stressing about xmas (eating), I know I can still do 2 fast and I can't eat as much anyway. Too many goodies make me feel sick. So after a day or 2 of eating xmas stuff my body will be screaming out for a fastday. I'm feeling healthier and wearing clothes that didn't fit me in the summer. I can't wait until next summer, we're all going to look great. :) I love 5:2 :)

Great losses everyone, well done :)

OMG @PennyForthem, I had no idea you have lost so much weight, that is really an amazing achievement.
:victory: :victory: :clap:
You looked fantastic when we met so keep up with the good work, you're looking good girl!! :grin:
39 weeks ago ..............1st Nov........................ 1st Dec
weight 78kg ....................66.5kg.........................64.5kg
waist 94cm .................... 86cm........................... 84cm

I'm really pleased with myself for doing this; I love being able to walk up hills better now, and I like looking in the mirror and seeing the reflection matching my image of me.
Suddenly I'm enjoying trying on clothes again; I thought I'd just got less interested in them with age, but it must have been that I didn't like how they looked before. And best of all, I'm now in the healthy weight zone, and my waist height percentage is finally beow 50%...
I :heart: 5:2!
