Despair could be correct, but it seems a little weak for what I feel, frankly. Sigh. Thanks for the comments! Those photos were 2006. I've been on a downward slope since about 2011, with my regains limited to about 12 pounds max (twice). There have been plateaus and there has been maintenance. Each ...

I'm pretty much maintaining with little upticks and dips around 135 to 136 lbs. I fast about 1 decent time a week and sometimes a 700 cal. day. On most days, I stick to nuts, strawberries and a small piece of cheese for breakfast with black coffee. Lunch is usually a salad with homemade lite balsami...

#11 here. I just completed my week of weighing so that I could get a Libra average weight. I'm up 2 lbs from my lowest weight. And this is with fasting on my usual schedule, no fasts missed in two months. So no way am I getting to my goal on this challenge. Just getting to where I was when the chal...

Welcome to the forum! Glad to have another experienced soul here with us :-) I agree that the weight loss can be slow with this WOE, but I do think it's the most sustainable weight loss out there. I have been doing this since January 2013 and I have never stayed with anything for this long as well. ...

I've been using P-JK 's calculator for quite a while, but I find that the only way I can get it to match my actual weight loss is to increase the physical activity constant a bit more every month, even though I am, if anything, decreasing my physical activity. (Several severe deteriorated discs in n...

Manderley , There may well be a psychological factor at work here, but what makes me disinclined to believe that is that my relationship with food was quite healthy for the past decade. My weight regain had a lot to do with developing an esophageal infection a year ago that made me have to stop a m...

Most of us will feel physiological hunger if our blood sugar drops lower than its usual fasting level. The level where this happens isn't an absolute--if your blood sugar is always higher than normal you can feel ravenous when your sugars drop to normal. There is a setpoint involved, and some people...

I'm not sure if I have posted this before, I seem to have a brain fog blank for the last 6 months (too many painkillers).

Just read this (sorry if it has been posted before) and it makes SO much sense to me about all the things I've been addicted to in my life including eating more food than I need, and my lifelong battle with depression. And really great news to know that fasting can change all that and help you grow ...

Hasn't been a year, but do you have any sense yet as to whether your theories/hopes regarding 5:2's ability to overcome the body's setpoint tendencies are true?

The #setpoint concept theorizes that the body defends its set point(s), but of course in a famine situation it cannot succeed. The survivors of the concentration ...

I think so too. I remember seeing a documentary a few years ago in which a Dr, researcher proposed that we have natural setpoints that our bodies strive to be at, when no effort is made to change. The setpoint only moves based on changes in basic metabolism whether it be from changes in exertion or ...
