Seven weeks ago I added the 2:5 diet to the low-cal version of the Dash diet I've been following for the last 2+ years. My weight loss seems to have increased from about a kilo a fortnight (between plateaux) to a kilo a week. I can't say I've noticed any startling difference in my health - but then I hadn't noticed much difference when losing the first 25kilo.
I will be having a blood test in December and am hoping to see some difference in my bp, cholesterol and ESR results ( I started the 2:5 because I think I heard on the Horizon programme that it had a good effect on ESR, and mine has been high for years). Not sure how I will manage to continue on either regime if the results are not noticeable, as that was the point of making such dramatic changes.
I'm not sure that I'm doing the 2:5 right, though. I am spreading my 500cals over three meals, but reading a bit more about it on the 'net a number of sites say that it should be one meal a day - 24hour after your last. Not sure I could manage that, especially in the winter.
Winter is going to be difficult anyway, especially Christmas and the few weeks afterwards when the house is full of leftover goodies. Worrying about that already.

I'd not heard the '24 hrs after your last meal' thing - I usually just eat lunch, as I think I can probably make it through the morning OK, but don't think it's fair to inflict hungry crabby grouchy me on my colleagues who didn't choose this diet. Plus I don't think I'd be at all productive at work by the afternoon as ALL I'd think about would be the next meal.
I really hope it does eventually have an impact on blood pressure, as mine is on the high side at the moment (have to have a 24hr monitor next week, ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif) ). Though I found when I lost weight before (not through this 2:5 thing) that my BP improved anyway, so even if it does improve this time I'm not sure I can credit the fasting.

And when we were on holiday, doing a lot of up-and-down walking in the sun *sigh* I really felt the benefit of having shed a stone and a half. Even the 10 lbs or so I have lost since June (yes, it's a slow old process) have made a recognisable difference and that is a real encouragement to me.
Can't face fasting - as JtL says, all I can think about then is my next meal - though I do notice I am eating less than I used to, without really thinking too hard about it.
Well done everyone
Mrs. S, 11 lbs to go and a year to lose it in!

Congratulations to everyone who has lost visible inches. After my initial inch-loss from my waist and tummy, I haven't seen any more loss there despite seeing a difference on the scales (maybe not this week as a result of a lovely Indian meal last Friday). However, today I realised my shoes are wider than my feet need and I can wear rings again for the first time in ages, so I'm just looking in the wrong places.

Yes, why is it i lose weight from my fingers and my wrists and my feet and my back-- but not my stomach or my hips or my arms or my legs? If it were just more visible places... Mr Lamb reckons my butt is much smaller, but as its behind me I can' t exactly enjoy the new view.
Tho the one visible place I AM losing it is (you guessed it) the boobs. ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)

Has no-one any progress to report? ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Having decried the usefulness of exercise ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) I think one of the reasons for my current plateau is that a combination of busy-ness and unsuitable weather have scuppered my usual 30 minute lunchtime walks recently
Come on peeps, I need help/encouragement/support here!

I haven't been on the scales recently, but I may brave them after swimming this morning - the scales there are posh ones which tell you weight, height, BMI, fat ratio and what you had for breakfast.

Didn't get to WW last Monday as I was away visiting friends...the week before I had stayed the same, and last week I had 2 family funerals to attend, so it wasn't a good week for staying on track...this morning I really didn't want to go to WW and wasn't expecting much...but the scales say I have lost a further 4 lbs. Yay me!
I have lost the first 1/2 stone, my clothes are beginning to fit properly again and I feel really good! (And a bit smug...)
How is everyone else getting on?

Mrs. S - I'll walk in the rain if you will! I'm thinking about how to easily add more exercise to my daily routine and I'm thinking 20 min walking at lunch will help (plus let me see day light).

Fair enough, EJ. For all the long walks at the weekends, it seems I need to keep up the mid-week stuff too. To be fair, no rain here today and the sun is shining, so I'll be grabbing my trainers at lunchtime - and hooray! Pilates is back this evening.

Another milestone hit, another millstone (it feels like!) shed.

Meanwhile, I am getting a tad disillusioned with the MFP app. I record, as accurately as I can, what I eat and how much activity I do and it assures me that at this rate I will be practically invisible when I stand sideways in a matter of weeks.
Despite this, any actual weight loss could be measured in drachms.

I'm mildly amused by MFPs predictions - I'm waiting for the day that it shows me negative figures (mind you, I've a while before I might see that)/
This week I have been delighted to have lost another pound/2 packs of lard, despite 2 foodie weekends in a row and little/no exercise of note.
All my weekends for the rest of the year will be pretty foodie too, so I'll be happy with that rate of loss if it means another 6 pounds lost by the start of 2013. We'll see.....

I flit on and off MFP, but I certainly don't take their "In five weeks..." with anything other than a large pinch of salt. However, it is useful as a jolt when the prediction suddenly goes from 93 kilos to 95 kilos. I know it's only one day's worth of food, but it's a useful reminder that I haven't eaten well that day.

I use MFP to record calories and progress but I don't believe a word it's telling me about how much I should be eating or will lose. I remember the time I decided to try "eating my calories" as the denizens of the MFP forums are wont to encourage you to do, I was not impressed with the results.
Anyway I've recently started dieting again and am on the 5:2 regime. I lost weight last week but that was just through re-starting exercise, so far I've only done a day and a bit of IF. Hoping it's easier and more sustainable long term than my old calorie counting based scheme.

I'm on 1200 on the eating days, but am generally a few cals below that. MFP keeps saying my calorie intake is too low - maybe it's right?

Maybe - 1200 is very low. How about upping the breakfast a little to kick start your metabolism for the day?
I am still on the sloooooow downward course, but I'm determined that this is a permanent lifestlye, not a 'diet' - so it's bound to be slow, I think.

Does both increasing food and exercise help? I've always found I want to eat less and more healthily when I'm exercising regularly. The exercise seems to turn on the appetite controls as well as upping my metabolic rate.

Well, 1/2 lb off this time...even though it has been 2 weeks since my last weigh in. I suspect my eating as been erratic...some days I have under eaten, while others I know I ave eaten too much of the wrong thing.
Still, the general trend is downwards, so it is all to the good. And I'm wearing a smaller pair of jeans, found lurking at the back of the wardrobe!

I usually have a very late breakfast, would eating earlier have a beneficial effect on my metabolism?
Otherwise, I have been gradually shaving calories off my meals in general by almost eliminating added fats from my cooking. Portion sizes are good, but mostly of lightly cooked vegetables.
As I have usually been over my targets for the nutrients set on MFP apart from calories, fats & sodium I didn't think I was undereating.
Exercise is down, as I've been too busy to get out walking, and I've just hurt my foot so that's going to be even less

Having been away on retreat for a few days, I have been unable to follow WW...I took fruit with me, and there was fruit available, but my willpower went AWOL and I ate yummy puddings etc and did no exercise. And it was the Team lunch today, and I had a Proper DInner, and a Pudding, (and 2 glasses of Merlot...ssshhh). However, I wasn't planning to have much else today, and I'll really try to Be Good tomorrow and Sunday and hope that I haven't put too much on.
I bought a very nice jacket in a size smaller that I usually buy (and would have bought if it had been available...but as it was in a sale sizes were quite limited!) so I have to continue downward...

My weigh in trousers are now too loose to be comfortable and are going in the ways to be consigned to the charity shop, and I have resurrected another pair from the back of e wardrobe which are a snug fit but not uncomfortably so.

I am just contemplating borrowing back Mr. S's braces to hold up a nice pair of trousers that are just too complicated to take in. I had them before for a pair that were 2 sizes too big - in fact, realising that that was the size I needed might have been the trigger to Doing Something About It. These are only one size too big, but have not been worn enough for me to say goodbye to them cheerfully yet.
Currently wearing an old pair of Miss S's abandoned ones, but they are GAP so no clear idea of what size they are! all I know is, they fit me now where they never would have done before. Yay to all of us!
Mrs. S, down another 12 ounces (what's that in grams - does it sound better? ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif) )

How does 340 grammes sound? It sounds good to me.
I am hoping [against hope?] that the excess I acquired in UK will just drop off without any effort now I am back home...
but...

Not lost this week, but not put on. That said I am losing motivation. I'm yet again feeling hungry, but know that I am not (had plenty to eat), but not anything bad for me, I just want comfort food, coz it's cold outside. Instead i'm here to moan!
