I weighed in today and I finally lost that pesky pound! I am thrilled. Tom said it would happen and that I needed to just stick it out. Fast day yesterday was pretty hard though. I was SO hungry after my chicken and broccoli dinner. I find that it is easier to stay on 5:2 if I do a lot of repeat meals. So I'm still doing the following on fast days: coffee & hard boiled egg for breakfast, soup (light Progresso kind) for lunch and dinner is either chicken or tilapia with veggies or turkey sausage sautéed in chicken broth with bell peppers and onions. I'm not bored of these meals yet and Tom hasn't complained yet haha.
It's been about 2 months on the fast (I started on 1/11/2016). So 6 lbs down in 2 months is not bad. I wish it were falling off faster but I am learning I need to be patient because this is my long term goal. I think I will be pretty happy with another 11 lbs lost. But I have 1 more pound to lose and I won't be in the 'overweight' category (according to the BMI chart, which I think is BS).
