Our 5:2 G.W.I.

I am embarrassed to admit that once again I have lost nothing. No excuse apart from being on steroids and eating too much! One day the time will be right and I shall start again in earnest. I know I can do it when my head is in the right place.
Hope others have fared better, great results GrannyIris5!

Granny I'm in awe of you, absolutely fabulous.Which diet are you following ? I however am worse than useless, I forgot to get weighed this morning, in fact I haven't weighed myself for three weeks, because I know the weight is creeping on.We move house in the next week or two, and I have a lot of organising to do, so my focus towards weight loss has gone for the mo, hoping to find it again soon.Good luck to everyone else.

Morning all. The month of May has gone and also another 7lbs.
2st 7lb down since end of January. BMI gone from 33.9 to 27.8.
9” lost between bust, waist & hips.
Had to buy new shorts and t shirts, at Bravissimo prices bra’s will have to wait.
Waiting for more good news from my other losers on here. ?

Hi Katyj, glad you’re still with us - same time next month ?

Oops I posted on the wrong thread.I've stayed the same ladies Absolutely no willpower, fed up with myself .Been busy selling our house and buying another, but can't even blame stress, because I feel quite calm.Must try harder.

I can’t believe there’s only 4 of us on here today. Does everyone else think it’s the 31st of April ?

TwiceAsNice that’s really good news well done. I’m trying low carb too, but can’t resist a few roast potatoes on Sunday - got to have a treat. Ice cream is my demon, 1 leads to 3.
Urmstongran don’t put yourself down, it’s not easy to fast, more you do though makes that fasting muscle stronger. Good luck x

Gosh TwiceAsNice that’s amazing! I’m in awe that people can be so motivated. Right that has inspired me to try (much) harder as I need to lose another 1.5sts. I don’t mind if it takes all year but I must record a weight loss or at the worst, maintain, on this thread each month.

It’s my own fault. I’ve been rubbish.

Same here shysal I’m afraid. Actually I’m pleased I’ve maintained if I’m honest as I’ve only had 2 fast days all month! Too much socialising and not enough willpower.

Never mind. Draw a line in the sand and start again. I am determined to record a loss on 1 June!

Very well done GrannyIris bet you’re delighted!

shysal it’s a marathon not a sprint, I’m sure by June 1 you’ll have lost, do you take measurements, muscle is heavier than fat.

Hi everyone I have now lost 1st 6 1bs since the beg of January . I am the lowest I have been for a long time. I’ve followed a low carb diet and done 2 800 calls 5-2 days each week. and in doing so at a recent check up have reversed my type 2 diabetes which was my main intention. I am chuffed!

Well done GrannyIris! I am afraid I have lost nothing over the last month, not having stuck to the regime. At least I have not gained. Must try harder.

Morning all, happy May. BMI says overweight not obese after loss of 9lbs in April. Lowest weight for 7 years.

Men do seem to lose fast at first. Remember the tortoise and the hare. Look forward to seeing your post on May 1, Framilode
Katyj perhaps you could cut your treat window to half an hour on a day of your choice. I’m sure you can do it. My last post on here until next GWI

I started in Jan and lost 4 lbs. Since then I have lost nothing. I know the reason. It's because I have been cheating in all sorts of ways. I seem to want to punish myself as soon as I see some weight loss. I will join this weigh in and try and have more self discipline.

My husband started in Jan also and has now lost 1 1/2 stones.

Don't be ashamed Shysal it's a difficult journey.I'm hoping it'll be easier to avoid the munchies now the clocks have changed.I just need to reign my weekend eating in , i seem to think i deserve a treat if I've done well through the week

I’ve eaten more kale in the last
9 weeks than the last 9 years lol

Doesn't have to be salads, you can eat lots of vegetables in lots of other filling ways; soups, ratatouille, veg curries; look at all those Vegan recipes, nothing but veg, then search online, all those other high veg non salald dishes.

?, I’m not that keen on salad but I like smaller size jeans - decisions decisions

This illustrates my thinking right now ...

I am ashamed to report that my weight has remained the same throughout the last month. I am still aiming to fast on 3 days a week, but giving in to the evening 'munchies'
Well done those who have lost weight!

Well done Monica, you sound like your back on track.This lurgy is the most awful thing, never had anything like it, had it over a week now, and had to phone in sick at work today , just haven't got the energy, although the cough is better today.Hope you remain fit and well now.

Urmstongran. Thank you for being honest, at least it shows how hard this is, you won't be the only one, and at least your resolve is good, you've still got it ! Have a lovely holiday, with some treats and .

The lurgy went on longer than expected, but last Monday, fully recovered and rested after a week away, I started again and this morning I am - 3lbs - lighter (the first week effect).

I thought I had blown it yesterday because I had migraine and scoffed two heavily buttered and toasted cheesed crumpets for tea, but 3lbs it remains.
