I feel a bit like my avatar at the moment after a hot, restless night, although nowhere near as bad as you poor people in the UK. (Must work out why it did that!).
Getting in another fast today, anyone else?

Hi Debs,Lets all have a Fabarooney Friday Fast!This will be my third this week..found Monday and Wednesday really easy for the first time!
Ive often read on here how people enjoy and look forward to their fasts and always give a little whimper to myself coz i didn't very much,but suddenly i do! XX

[Debs]

Excellent, you show off with your fab moveable avatar!! My task for the day, prop myself up the right way!!

I'm in. A bit peckish and it's only 10am!

Good luck everyone.

Yep, me too, especially as I had to go out and buy ricotta and salmon for tonight's dinner, yum!

I am in and am starving. Having a visitor soon so maybe do my bullet coffee then. I am having salmon too Debs. How are you going to do yours. I have poached mine and will make a herby mayo maybe from scratch like a tarter with capers dill and dill prickle and then heaps of salad.

I sprung this fast on myself realising I could fit it in and will try for Sunday too as next week looks tricky. Motivation low as I am sick of plateau

I'm making a smoked salmon salad with ricotta as the dressing, with lemon, asparagus and rocket with another salad on the side. Possibly a little avocado depending on calories, although I need to save some for some yogurt before bed as I have been sleeping appallingly and think that eating before bed might help. Yours sounds nice!

I'm in today (I hope- feeling awful with a cold ) I have been awful on my non-fast days lately, I just can't stop eating. I think a combination of stress/tiredness/illness/hormones has made this week particularly bad, I feel very disappointed with myself.

I'm in for a 4:3 week. Did so well with my first two fasts, Monday and Wednesday and then spent yesterday indoors baking (because the weather was so FOUL!!) Unfortunately there was much licking of spoons, bowls and "testing of merchandise" so I've undone all the good I did earlier in the week!!!

Don't be hard on yourself daydreamer, you aren't alone. I get peri-menopausal hunger/grumpy eating pangs these days! Which dwarf am I today, Grumpy, Teary, Munchy!!!
Take it easy and be kind to yourself, tomorrow is another day!

I'm in today! Funny, my first fast of the week was always WEdnesday, and somehow it's become Friday with a normal-ish 2nd fast on Sunday. As I'm pretty much where I want to be in terms of weight/size, I'm playing around with half fasts, 6:1 etc, trying to figure out what I want to do to maintain.

It's windy as heck here in Berlin, snowing too. What a day for fasting! I want to get back in bed and eat everything But I won't!

Good luck everyone!

I am in today for an attempt... Have a huge headache since last night so don't have any clue how it will go but won't beat myself up if it becomes a 15:8 as it's my 3rd of the week. Anyway I have a soup craving so all should be good or not that bad anyway.

I'm in! Fast no.51 and the second this week as Monday didn't happen.
Made the mistake of opening the After Eight mints I bought FOR XMAS last night. Oops. But wow they tasted nice...didn't eat the whole box!I've woken with a headache for over a week now along with my usual pain. Wonder what that is about.
Happy fasting everyone! x

Nearly there. Debs my midget serve of salmon was yummy, cheated with good quality ready made mayo but added as above and with salad leaves it was yum. Just have to have a nightcap of low cal hot chocolate, a habit since starting 5:2. That will do it for me today. @Kawberlin will join you and fast on Sunday as well. Gosh this Christmas fare is everywhere and really messes with your mind

@drilakila I find fasting effectively makes me more pain sensitive in my areas which are prone to pain. Just a thought

Efficient and effective fasting everyone.
