The FastDay Forum

Any Americans (or other nationalities!) out there planning to watch the game tonight? How do you plan to deal with the food. I know we should be able to enjoy whatever, but my official weigh in day is tomorrow morning, so I want to try not to mess things up!

Also who are you rooting for?

Super Bowl is only once a year, so I will be enjoying the BBQ put on by my local bar and kicking back with a few beers.

I'll be rooting for which ever team will get me my numbers in the pools!

Seattle 6 and Denver 3 for the $750, $1000 and $2000 payouts in one pool and I don't remember the payouts for this pool but my numbers are:

Seattle 2 and Denver 3
Seattle 0 and Denver 9
Seattle 8 and Denver 0
Seattle 4 and Denver 1

I'm rooting for Seattle, but won't be devastated if Denver wins. I have friends in both places! I'm going to enjoy some of the snacks, but won't overdo it. I'm going for a walk in a bit too. I won't be drinking either. I'm always jealous that the west coast gets to watch the game in the afternoon!

I ran the pool at school. The payoffs are $25, $50, and $100. Here are my numbers:

Seattle 7 Denver 4
Seattle 6 Denver 4
Seattle 0 Denver 6
Seattle 1 Denver 6
Seattle 4 Denver 9

You've got good numbers for that big pool!

Know nothing about it except its on and many in the uk will be staying up to watch!
Hope ypu all have a fab time watching..and as its such a big thing,why not just enjoy any goodies on offer without going OTT.. A few beers etc isnt going to break the bank and you can always postpone yr weigh in xx@cblasz i read big pool as big poo!

Candace, I wasn't thinking how late it would be on over there! Yikes! I won't drink more because I have to work tomorrow than for weight reasons. I could postpone my weigh in, but Monday is my fast day, so I don't feel Tues. will be an accurate reflection of the week. I will have a little bit of the goodies and try not to overdue it! Thanks!

Yes go on enjoy yrself!
Isnt it funny how we all have different ways? I ALWAYS weigh in after a fast day..i dont wanna know the harsh truth of what i weigh after a feed day!
Have a fab time today! X

Well, I've been weighing on Mondays since forever and before I started 5:2, so I'm just keeping up the habit! I'm sure that as long as you weigh at the same time every week it all evens out!

My first Superbowl so will be watching. I'm in some kind of office sweep called squares so I might win a couple of hundred dollars if one of my squares comes up

Perfect introduction to American life - Superbowl Sunday - lots of food, beer, football, commercials, gambling and the halftime show! Enjoy!

Whooohoo! I won $200 in the first quarter!

It wasn't a great Super Bowl this year but the Pizza and Beer was fantabulous ! Now today, it's back to business and I'm fasting away, still in a cheerful sort of way.

Thats great @Betsysgr8! Congrats on yr win!
Any similar good luck for you@rawkaren hope so..wd be a nice start for yr SF life x
