10 Feb was the start of my Easter Challenge. I stopped eating chocolate and followed the Every Other Day fast. Well I haven't looked back...

10 Feb - 11:13
2 April - 11:00

My Easter goal is 10:13. I have gone up to 11:1 for my weigh in today but I really think I might actually reach my goal this time! I'm just looking forward to eating chocolate again :smile:

Well done everyone...it's certainly going in the right direction on the whole!

Bean :smile:

Well you can see from my signature weights that I am back taking the scenic route!
08/03/14 13 stone 4 lbs
05/04/14 12 stone 13 lbs 8 oz

So a loss of 4 lbs 8 oz in April but at least I got below 13 stone!
My waist measurement has not changed despite all my cycling. :frown:

Hi forum people :smile: Hope you are all well.
Well I can tell you that I have now been doing 5:2 for three weeks & although, like I have said before, I don't get weighed very often, I reckon I have lost about 6lbs :cool: .... but more importantly, to me anyway, there is difference for sure in my clothes. I have trousers that definitely have more room in them & I also have a pair of wellington boots which I use to take the dog for country walks, & they have more room around the calf, which I can tell you, is very welcome :wink:

So .... all in all ... a very pleasing start :heart: I'm very happy with the results thus far. I don't always expect to get such fab results. I am sure this amount of loss is because I'm just begining but that's absolutely fine by me :smile:
I am more than happy to plod along. Even when I did slimming world, I was always a plodder & the weight only ever came off slowly. I also absolutely love the easiness of this WOE & the fabulous side effects such as decrease in appetite on the non-fast days :like:

Michael Moseley ... I salute you :cool: and thankyou so much for discovering 5:2 for us all to enjoy :heart:

I plateaued through February at 135 lbs, and have lost 2 lbs in March - 133 lbs today.
I was briefly down 3 lbs to a previously unseen low of 132 lbs, but went up again.
My waist measurement remained steady at 29 ins, but my body fat % has fluctuated so wildly that I don't think it is worth mentioning as part of a forum tracker.

Hi, this is my first post. So not sure what I am doing!
I need some help.
I lost 10lbs with 5:2 last year but unfortunately after a knee op I put it all on again. I am following the exactly the same method but have only managed to lose 4lbs since January; what do you think I am doing wrong? Juliette

Last weigh in Feb 13 - weight 86.5 kg. April 11 weigh in 84.2kg. (2.3kg loss in 2 months)
Feb waist. 92cm. April waist 89.5cm (2.5 cm loss in 2 months)
This is quite slow but I am happy because this loss has meant I am off my plateau; I've reached my fastiversary, reached a 20 kg loss and the numbers are heading in the right direction! My waist is 1&1/2cm of what my doc wants it to be ( she has a general rule of 88cm for women but my goal is 85 cm which is 50% of my height which carorees recommends which makes more sense to me as it takes into account our different sizes)
