Thread: New to Minimins and fast diet :)

Hi My Name is Gem. I weigh 13st 10lbs aged 29 and approx. 5ft 10, I am wanting to lose 2st 10lbs I am a member of our local gym but work keeps getting in the way, I had a fast day today and I save most of my calories for the evening as I can make it long into lunch before I even feel remotely hungry and I am more likely to eat rubbish at night, this is my 3rd fast day I haven't noticed any weight loss yet but feel thinner, so I will weigh myself again next week

Hi Gem, we're similar weights but you have 3" on me I've been doing 5:2 for nearly 4 months now and love it

Oh, I wish I was 13st!

Welcome to the club - I've been doing 5:2 since January and it's working well for me. Keep with it and leave it as long as possible before eating on the fast days.

Is it best to stick at it for a while and have faith or keep weighing in? I'm about to start week 3. I lost a little the first week and seem to have got stuck - but clothes are looser, so I think it's working - I'm thinking of not weighing in for two weeks but being 100% on the diet - that's scary thought though??!?!?!?

It's totally up to you, I weigh weekly but sometimes get a run with no loss, then a couple of good weeks.
