Why am I not losing?!

[CommanderShepard]

I'm on my third week of 5:2 (fast day 2 today) and to be honest it's really easy; I'm not finding fasting hard at all.

But I've only lost 900g!

Any ideas? I'm sticking religiously to no more than 500cals on fast days, and not worrying on the other 5 - but maybe I need to start counting on those days too?

Only other things I can think of that might be of significance are that I'm coming to the end of a monstrous period (first one since getting pregnant in August 2011) and I'm still breastfeeding - only 1-2 times per day but I am still going.

My clothes feel better and the ones I don't fit seem to still not fit but are almost there... but I don't know if I'm kidding myself.

Any ideas?!

You're better off posting this on the main thread - but to answer your question:

You've lost 2lbs! Hooray! On your period, as well!
Your clothes feel better! Hooray! And you're breastfeeding - well done.

In short, this does appear to be working well for you - and there's all the hidden health benefits, as well, to consider!

But do get over to thread no 23 - have a good read of the OP and the Tips and Links thread, and just join in the chat!

You'll be made very welcome!
