So, my first fast in quite some time, but I'm putting it out there so as not to fail in front of everyone!
Good luck to the returners ans new starters

I'm with you @Debs. Only way to reign in some of my tim tam dinner last night. Having a read through some old blogs here to stay strong. Good luck with your fast and anyone else Friday fasting.

I'm now into my 3rd fast of the week which is an odd way to think about it but true. Friday is one of my usual 4:3 days. to my fellow Friday fasters.

Thanks Deb, I'm off to bed soon if I can pluck my self out of the insomniacs tent,
I'm normally a strict Mon and Thurs girl, but the season has moved me to Friday this week. Looking forward to it! Must drink lots of water....
Good fasting to all

Hello @Debs. I hope it's going well for you and all others fasting today as I start out. I'm feeling positive. We have friends staying till Sunday and they appreciate that our 5:2 regime is important to our well-being.

Well it is heading towards 5pm here and apart from a small piece of chicken, I have kept on track all day and if I go to bed having stuck to my guns, I shall feel very pleased with myself!
Good luck Katharina, it is good to hear that your friends are supportive of you!

Thanks Debs..... I am in too.. Even though I did yesterday .. It is good for me to have a good start and then no fasting days for Saturday and Sunday. It has been easy for me so far, yesterday I didn't feel I was starving after so many weeks without fasting days. I was just feeling good .
Good luck to all of you having fasting day today. I am sure you are doing well all of you

I'm fasting today too, back from hols yesterday so I thought I might as well get straight back to it!
I'm just about to make lunch for the kids then we are going to the cinema which should be a pleasant way to pass time this afternoon, must just try to avoid having to buy popcorn as I find it hard to resist

Good luck fellow fasters!

I'm in too .. though struggling to get any forum time these days thanks to work ( people don't stop breaking computers even at Christmas )
First weigh in of 2015 next Tuesday ... I will be brave .. I will not scream and wake the neighbors

Love your avatar @pist1958 that is a real inspiration!
I'm in today too @Debs. Back on track after a long time off the wagon. It sounds as though you've had/are having a great successful first fast of the year. Long may they continue!
I'm planning on returning to ADF and this time I feel pretty determined. Just about to have a quick snack. Here we go...

I'm in too. I didn't eat much yesterday, certainly kept well under my TDEE but want to do a proper fast today. I'll be heading to work in a few minutes and I can't eat there so I will make it through until 3 pm when I arrive home. My stomach is feeling quite empty at the moment so hoping I can focus on work and not my stomach LOL. Good luck fellow fasters! Enjoy the day!

@Redrobin isn't it frustrating when work/busy time gets in the way of good forum time! Must have my forum fix!
3.30pm and all is going well for my first fast in 2015. I have a celeriac in the fridge so it's soup for supper (chilly here), not made it before but going to try fennel and celeriac soup. As I'm on leave till Monday I shall get back into planning for the week ahead - that really works well for me as I know what I will eat (and not eat) I will like. I'm starting maintenance but guess I'll spend a couple of weeks fasting Mon/Thurs as normal, while working out what maintaining really means for me as I haven't got a clue at the moment. Looking for that light bulb moment

Good luck you fasters, @Debs how did it go?

I'm here! I ran to the store last night and picked up a bunch of fixings for a yummy salad and found a new 0 calories chocolate tea. Have a good day everyone, we are going to go ice skating on our pond.

I'm fasting today too. After all the excesses of the season (and yes I did eat and drink to excess) I'm so pleased to get back to some sort of normality. All I've had today is water and fennel tea. I'm just going now to have a couple of oatcakes and a milky hot chocolate and that will be me for the day.

Thanks a lot @nursebean
