I was first here in 2014 and saw amazing results. I've just looked back at my tracker and seen just how great my progress was then. In 7 months I lost more than 2 stones in weight and 5 inches from my waist! At that point I was 3 years into the menopause and having a pretty awful time.
Fast Forward 3 years and I'm back again. My son is getting married in 7 weeks' time and I want to feel good in my dress so that I have confidence in the dreaded photos! I didn't want to lose a huge amount of weight this time, I haven't actually put much on since 2014, I wanted more to tone up and be healthy, so I went back onto the 5:2 about 5 weeks ago.
I am struggling so much to lose any weight at all this time, although my waist and belly has gone down a bit. I am strictly sticking to the plan, not going mad on my eating days, exercising more than ever before and I've only seen just over 1lb leave me in 5 weeks. I did have a very sedentary job where I sat at a desk all day, I'm not working much now so can walk the dogs for 5 miles plus a day and I swim.
Any ideas anyone please? Am I destined to always be at this weight no matter what I do? I'm 56, 6 years post menopause but still getting night sweats. My BMI is 24.93, so just in the healthy range. Thanks in advance xx
