Help us to help you! Please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!
Remember, we're not here to judge, we're here to help.
Have a good look around this forum, there is a wealth of advice from those who have trod the path before us.
Personally I wouldn't diet on your feast days, you need to stick to your TDEE.
Good luck and hang on in there

Setting your initial TDEE is critical. Studies show most people overestimate their physical activity by over 50%. This might help:

To confirm you are really on a plateau, rather than not losing because your TDEE is too high or you are eating over your TDEE on your feast days, you have to count calories on your feast days for a week. Studies show that most people that don't count underestimate their calorie intake by 47%. This might help: 5-2-diet-chat-f6/on-plateaus-t7102.html
Also, here's some stuff about feed days:

How long have you been on 5:2? Many people don't see much progress on their scales for the first 4 weeks due to some of the factors mentioned in the link. And some of us don't see scales progress for 5-6 weeks! I did lose inches and that kept me going. Eventually the weight drops.
As others have pointed out, on feed days a person should be eating close to their TDEE. If you haven't already, you might want to count daily calories for a while. I'm too lazy to count calories, but I did count for about week and got an idea of what my favorite and most eaten foods/meals are and how much of each I can afford to eat. Myfitnesspal.com seems to be a popular site for tracking calories if you are looking for one.
Stick with it! It does work.
