Not a normal month for me as have been on holiday in Florida for 16 days of the month !! didn't do real fasts whilst on holiday but did have 2 days each week where I didn't eat breakfast or lunch but then had normal meal (& wine !!) in the evening. Seemed to work well as I came back the same weight as I went and still enjoyed all my holiday treats !!

No measurements, I'm afraid...

5:2 fasting, supposed to be maintaining 140 lbs by not reducing fast-day calories - but had a stomach bug on holiday which enforced extra, full, fasts and hence the weight loss (food was the last thing I wanted for a couple of days!). Ran well at parkrun today, surprisingly!

Happy to do questionnaire but I doubt I meet your criteria...

Redhead's Weigh In:

* Weight on 6 April: 10 stone 8 pounds.

* Haven't measured waist or body fat, but I'm two belt holes (2 inches) slimmer since starting, one of them since start of March.

* Change in weight since 2nd March:
Weight 1 March = 11 stone 4 pounds/ 71.7 kgs.
Weight 6 April = 10 stone 8 pounds/ 67.1 kgs.
Difference = 10 pounds/ 4.5 kg lost.

* Whether you are following a different fasting pattern than 5:2:
I started out doing 5:2 proper (500 cals twice a week) at the end of January 2013, but moved to two water fasts per week from about mid February. Water fasts usually last about 40 hours from evening on day before fast, throughout fast day and them until about midday the day after fast day. Usually Monday and Thursday.

I've been doing this for a little over two months and lost a bit more this month than the first. I started on 24 January and lost 8 pounds between 24 Jan and 1 March (36 days). I lost 10 pounds between 1 March and 6 April (36 days). I think this is probably because I'm eating a lot less junk food on non fast days now.

I've never dieted before (couldn't stick to anything) so this is definitely the system for me, for life. Hope to be on maintenance in another month or two. Thanks to everyone on this forum as I couldn't do it without all the support and advice here!

I'm happy to do the survey.
