Lost 6.5lbs in 2 weeks!

[krupskaya]

I've had a rocky start to my 5;2 campaign but I'm finally getting somewhere. My problem has been that i've been overeating on my feed days, badly overeating. So much so that in two months on the diet I gained 8lbs! I realise I can't eat what is a 'normal' portion for me as eating that is what got me to obese in the first place. So instead i worked out my TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) online and have been calorie counting so that I meet that on feed days. As a result I've lost 6.5lbs in the two weeks I've been doing it - hurrah! Obviously it's not ideal to be calorie counting but once I get used to these portion sizes i can start to relax a bit. Just really pleased it's working for me now.

Well done, this is my first week and I'm keeping an eye on calories as worried about over eating

Thankyou guys, 5:2 is a great way to lose and I'm just really chuffed that it's working for me now.

I did a sneaky mid week weigh in after my trousers felt loose - so I'm hopeful when I weigh in on Monday!! I've done 4.5:2.5 this week!

Hee Hee - I went over my calories on a feast day so dropped my calories the next day but was after my 2 fast days. So I made up 4.5:2.5!!!! I'll stick to 5:2 this week!
