Hronia polla TML, and good luck with your new plan. I have been gaining and losing the same 1.5 kg for about 6 weeks so I might join you to kick my weight loss down again.

Happy birthday for tomorrow! Don't get to sozzled!!!! X

Go for it.
I see that we started 5.2 ing on the sme day and seem to have had a similar experience. I lost 4 kg in the first 4 weeks then put the same kilo on and off for the next 3-4 weeks then last week I couldn't believe it when I lost 1.8kgs. It will happen to you. I agree with the others as to not counting calories on your 5 normal days. I don't. That's the whole idea of why we love it. Let go and see what happens.
Happy Birthday!!!!! : )

Happy Birthday!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out for you - I hope it's great

Happy birthday TML13!

I also found that after an initial loss that my weight stayed the same which was disappointing when I was reading so many success stories on here. I therefore started tracking calories on my feed days with myfitnesspal. This made me realise that although my main meals were generally fine, I was consuming a staggering number of calories each day in mindless snacking - mainly sweet treats. I found that I was able to cut down my snacking when I could see this and I started losing weight again.

Although one of the attractions of this WOE is not having to count calories on feed days, I have not felt constricted because in my mind I am only tracking because I want to rather than because I am restricted by the rules of a diet (does that make sense?), and I still have treats, but now I think twice before I eat.

I don't know if this helps but I wish you well.

I also had 3 weeks static weight after he initial weight loss.
I have read several posts from other people who have experienced this.
I wonder if there is a scientific reason?
Good luck with your plan, and a very happy, guilt free birthday to you. X

Happy birthday, and a super tasty day! When I had the plateau I changed to 16/8 IF, keeping within my TDEE for 2 weeks. It worked as a maintain and body reset so that when I restarted 5:2 I lost steadily again. Good luck with your kick start :0)

Happy Birthday, Thalia!!! Hope you have a lovely day and the year ahead is full wonderful things. Also, trust my 'gift' arrives soon to lighten the load!
