New to 5:2 fasting + how often to weigh?
Posted: 08 Nov 2016, 02:04
Hello! New here and a tiny bit nervous! I live in Virginia, USA. I am a wife and mother and just turned 50 in October. I currently weigh 161 lbs at 5'6". I am mildly hypothyroid (non-Hashimoto's), peri-menopausal, and pre-diabetic. I need to drop about 15-20 lbs, losing mainly belly fat. I hope to stick to a fasting program for at least 2 months to see if it works for me. I have already enjoyed the info that I've read thus far, and I look forward to giving this an honest try. I fasted on Friday and today (Monday). So far, so good because I planned those 500-calorie meals. But I'm not sure how often I should weigh myself-- what does anyone else suggest?
