I have doing 5:2 on and off for some time now, and am just in the healthy bmi range. I would love to lose another 3-5kg for my ultimate happy weight but am just stuck! 5:2 seems to keep me steady, 6:1 makes me put on weight and I seem to be in a never ending cycle between 68 and 70kg. I am not too fixated on the numbers, but I can tell by the fit of my clothes and how I feel if I put on a little. I know the answer is to look at my NFDs or increase to alternate days, or exercise more, but the reason I have loved this WOL is that I don't have to worry too much about the NFDs. It feels like my body is so used to its current weight that it is just battling to keep me there! Anyone else felt like this is all a bit like hard work when it seemed so easy initially?
