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



Recommended Posts

I too agree' date=' my body enjoys ADR - or I thought it did! I mean, I feel good, it makes me enjoy my eating days and look forward to fast days as days I don't have to think about food. But after 19 days and no loss, I'm pretty bummed.[/quote']

That totally Buns me out for YOU! We've got to be able to figure out a way to Kick start your body back into losing mode. Maybe change up When your fasting span is. Like eat earlier in the day and then fast the twelve if you are eating later in the morning etc. try eating a few more carbs a few days (if they are available) and then go back to low carb reduction to see if it will trick your body. I know you are limited right now I. What you have to work with! Sometimes I have to change up my routine to get losing again. Best to you!!!

Globe, keep in mind 5:2 was designed as a longevity plan, and weight loss came second. Its still working even when you don't lose weight. If you like it, do it! AT least the 5:2 part.....

GeorgiaGeorgiaGeorGIAH! GeorgiaGeorgiaGeorGIAH! (sung to the conga line tune) yay! Were you completely naked when you weighed? Before a shower? I take any advantage I can get, lol.

Eating day since it is my Monday (it's Sunday), 2 scrambled eggs, .5C roasted potato, tea w/milk.

a double chocolate mocha frozen Protein Shake

Whatever Protein they offer at dinner, plus whatever greens they have for salad, 2 TBSP caesar dressing.

Flax seed in my shake, Vitamins and probiotic pills.

YES! Just peed, stripped to the bare, and standing just right! ha! Lol. No, I actually weighed about 5 times to get my picture just right And it was the same all times!

NOW, the real work starts! Although, I am going to continue "as is" right now as this is my new lifestyle.

The frozen Protein Shake sounds good!!!

Another 1lb this week, now 175lb, total loss on 5:2 so far is 6lb. It seems to be working for me.

I don't know if Monday weigh in is good though as it is after the weekend indulgences! I did see a lower number on the scale on Friday so I know it is achievable.

Awesome! That bounce is a norm for me. I hit a new low,bounce around a few days or a week, then hold that low before moving down again.

      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.
