5:2 Diet - how much have you lost?

[dalek]

Would you mind posting how long you've done this and how much you've lost? I do look at the main thread but there is loads of info on there.

TIA

Just starting my 9th week and have lost 11lbs...

Not sure how long I've been doing it - a few months I think? I've gone from 11 stone 5 to 9 stone 9. I now have a BMI of 21!

I've been doing it 3 weeks and have lost 7 pounds.

I have been doing it since 1st September and think I might have lost 3 or 4lb, maybe not. My clothes do not feel much looser, tbh.

Yes, I am disappointed.

Next step to gp to get thyroid checked (I have long suspected I have a duff one)

Oh - forgot to add the important extra bit of info - I do ADF (with the odd missed fast day) not 5:2 - which must make quite a big difference!

Thank you for your replies.

Mintyy -hope you get your thyroid sorted if it's a problem. My sister has an underactive thyroid and once she got her medication sorted out she could not believe what a difference it made to her life - she couldn't believe that everybody felt as well as she did on thyroxine, all the time.

dontcallmehon - is that every other day? Is that difficult to plan social life around?

It's not too bad, as I will miss a day if something comes up now and again. I have been known to do two consecutive days, but generally will just skip a day and not worry. When I lose the last 10 pounds I will fast for just one or possibly two days a week.

I'm in my 6th week and I've lost 13lbs, I'm also doing ADF and sometimes I skip fast days and eat cake like tonight

It's a brilliant WOE and very flexible

Have been doing 5:2 for 7 weeks and lost 8lb - am reasonably happy with that

I am doing cambridge at the moment - deadly dull but I know the weight will come off. Was looking at 5:2 as a way to maintain once I lose the weight. Am a bit scared to go straight to 5:2 in case I put on the weight I've already lost and/or stop losing as my calorie intake has been so low for the last couple of weeks.

I've been doing it since August and have lost nothing - it's helping me maintain, so I suppose that's something.

I've been doing 4:3, close to ADF but this way I can always have Sunday as a non-fast day. I've been at it since mid-August, and have lost 17 lbs or so. I have found it very easy and it's not difficult at all to plan social outings around. It's nice to have a plan where I'm losing weight AND can go out and eat a meal without explaining why I can't eat certain things. :)

Same as greeneggs, I do 4:3 and have been for about 11 weeks. I have lost around 2 stone so far.

from 10 stone to 9 stone 3

Ooops multiple post and don't know how to delete it

Since mid-August
Doing 20:4/18:6 (4-6 hour eating window each day)
Lost 10-11 lbs (tall, early 40s)
2-3 lbs to go.
On this for life I think. Finding it natural.

Started 5 weeks ago. Not lost anything. Very disappointed!

8 weeks and no loss. Another who is disappointed.

8 weeks in, lost 9lb. Very happy, finding it very easy.

Weighed this morning after no loss last week and I'd lost 3.2 pounds. That takes total loss to 10 pounds in 5 weeks.

Been doing 5:2 for 6 weeks and lost a stone. Very pleased

I'm on week 2 and lost about 10 pounds already. I'm amazed! On my eat days I ve been eating cakes, chocolate and had a wine heavy night out. I'm hoping for a stone more and I ll be happy. I feel its sustainable too.
