Your start date and start weight for the 5:2 method



Recommended Posts

So glad for you Cathy!

I'm fasting today. So happy I am, I gained almost two pounds this weekend, has to be stress, I did some crap eating as well, but never over calories, so hopefully I can get back on track this week. Went on a lovely 2 1/2 hour bird watching hike yesterday... working on the stress!

Okay update time:

Start date:

July 16, 2013

Today's date:

September 17, 2013

So basically 2 months of fasting 2x a week has netted me an

-11lb loss

Not sure if it will "stick" today as yesterday was a "fast" day and of course hopped on the scale today to see another lb gone. Hoping it wasn't a phantom weight...we'll see if it says the same tomorrow. LOL. Anyway, for the last 3-4 weeks I've seen this number once but it didnt' stick around. Now that I've seen it twice, I'm hoping it sticks.

Start date: 11 June 13

Start weight: 168

today, 17th Sept 160lb

So minus 8lbs in 3mths; including a school trip to Spain and 2 weeks all inclusive family holiday. Also, remembering that I was stuck for 20+mths before! So, even though it is really slow, there is movement... and if my calculations are right, by Xmas I will (hopefully) be at my surgeon's goal... that would be an awesome pressie!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
