Re: [fast5] Re: New to Fast Five!

Thnx on both items:  for reminding me that clothes do feel better almost straight away...the scales are really not that helpful for this.  I'm not on Facebook but would consider it now.  Thnx again!

It's fine to go by the fit of clothing alone, and once you see a clear improvement there, you probably won't be disappointed when you step on the scale. One of the characteristics of Fast-5 that's been noted many times in the 10+ years it's been around, is that inches go before pounds -- people will feel the fat shifting before it drops on the scale. That's probably because the fat is moving from under the skin into the "marbling" of muscle where it can be burned as fuel.
It typically takes about three weeks for the steady weight loss to kick in, so if you can wait that long before doing weekly weigh-ins, that might be best. (There's no real need to ever weigh in if you're happy with the way your body feels and your clothes are getting looser.)

Hi all

I lost about 15 lbs in 7ish weeks and my friends - and esp my partner's 36 year old son (who never notices anything) - said I looked great. I did. And felt so much better with a lot of energy as I had gained a lot of weight previous to a hip replacement. 2015 was a tough year for me & I was not master of my own world so I gained it back. I am about to start in again and I absolutely agree that it seems a natural way of eating to me too - after the first 3-4 days. I'd recommend people to re-read the reasons why this makes sense; the food industry wants us to believe we have to keep packing foodstuffs into our body to be healthy!  good luck to all  P

Recently joined this group and am happy to see active as well!  

I did Fast 5 the summer before last and dropped 20 lbs with great ease (was also walking 4 miles of hilly roads each day and swimming several days a week--fun swimming, not intense laps or anything like that).  Since then, I've had another baby...and now the time has come for me to return to it. 

Honestly, it just feels like a natural way of eating for me.  Never really feels like I have had to "force" anything....which makes it easy for me to consider it a lifestyle rather than a short-term "diet plan."

Warm and well wishes to all of y'all!

Hi,

Nice to see some activity here. I would weigh once a week only. I did this program and lost #25. I need to get back on it faithfully but need a partner to buddy up with. This group used to be so active and now it had died out so we have less support.

Hi!

I'm new to the fast five lifestyle. This is my second week and things are going pretty well I think! I haven't weighed myself yet because I tend to get very discouraged by the scale and don't want it to throw me off the bandwagon if I don't like what I see. I know I haven't gained weight as my pants aren't hurting me anymore haha. I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and weigh myself though, it would be nice to know just how much I've lost. Any thoughts?

Also, today is a little tough because my boss bought lunch for me and a coworker and I'm literally sitting in my office with the untouched food sitting on my desk! I didn't feel comfortable telling him about my crazy diet and thought it would be rude to deny the food. I told myself I could eat the food now in guilt or I could just wait until 5 and eat it with no guilt so that helps a little. But it's still just staring at me.

It was great to find a forum! I'd appreciate any thoughts or tips about fast five!
