The FastDay Forum

Hi live in Brisbane just joined

[janeg]

Welcome Suebee
fairly sure there are other Brisbaneites on the forum! My aunties both stay in Brisbane but I've never visited!

Hello all, another from Australia here.
We have been going for 2 weeks now, hubby who doesn't need to lose weight has lost 2 kilo!
I have lost 200g....and I don't eat all the lollies, chocolate etc he does! Why is it allways like that?
I am insulin resistant, perhaps that has something to do with it.
I find the fast days relatively easy, hubby hates them as he is used to snacking all day.

I'm at Collaroy. Good to know there are a few Aussies here. Heard yesterday that Richard Glover's interview with Dr M is now a podcast on ABC radio, so will listen to that today. Yesterday completed my 10th fast. The fasting is ok, but losses have stalled, so feeling a bit despondent. This forum is just great for inspiration to stick with it. First time I've tried "forumming", so lots to learn. Good luck everyone!

In for repairs tues & fri.

Collaroy!! I am from Sydney, Nepwort. So Dottiyam your just around the corner from me. Perhaps we can meet up? I am busy the next two weeks but after that maybe? I am female btw. Stalled huh. Could be loads of things. Maybe you are eating too much? Too much protein or carbs. Have a a look at what you are eating on a calorie basis.Not just fast days.I have done 5 or 6 fasts so far and lost 2 to 2.5 kilos. It fluctuates!

I'm in St Ives - we could meet in Mona Vale.

That would be nice. In about two weeks? Ha! How will we recognise each other?
Look for gaunt hungry folk? Where some themed colour? Suggestions?

Ok, I'm up for it. Just tried to pm you Pilchards, and couldn't work out how to do it. I agree, Mona Vale is easy for all. Where and when? Can you do weekdays or w/end? We could meet in front of say, the library. First suggestion - Fri after 12 noon I'm up that way each week so that's my first option. Maybe you guys are more forum savvy than I am, should we make arrangements offline using pm? Not sure of the protocols.

To any co-fastees in Sydney: I plan to visit the Maroubra Beach outdoor gym, (free open-air steppers/bike/pulldowns etc) at 9.30 am Thursday 25 April for about half an hour. I'll wear a white t-shirt with Komodo National Park on it! Easy to spot me! Coffee or water after a safe workout anyone? Ciaou for now, sandcastle.

I was distracted yesterday, but I do plan to make a regular Thurs am workout at the beach gym. I have the free booklet the Maroubra Council gave us to suggest what to do on each "machine". Fasted yesterday btby. Now having fab brekky. Ooroo for now, and enjoy your Way Of Eating.

I'm a Pom living in Tasmania but working in WA.

I'm a Pom living in Tassie too, near Launceston. Where are you?

Just had first fast day today!

Hi fellow aussies, I'm in Brisbane - started today, first fast today and going well. On a night duty tonight and all going well, even though I will have spent 26 hours awake and fasting by the time I get to sleep tmw morning. Any other western Brisbanites out there?

I'm an Aussie living in northeast Victoria. Originally from Sydney now in the high country.
Almost everyone I know is on the 5:2 diet at the moment. I'm sure loads more Aussie's will be joining this forum in the near future.

G'day all,
I reckon I'm a fairly standard aussie bloke from N.E. Vic with the usual vices of a 60 yr old in this "lucky country" - eat & drink too much. Happy to join in with our 5:2 community.

I'm in Atwell too!
