The FastDay Forum

Am I really the only one?

It's been a weird one so far. I had my annual health check today, which required overnight fasting and no breakfast until after the blood tests. I usually have a soft-boiled egg first thing, so it was tough waiting until almost noon!

Just popped in to say "hello" as you looked lonely. I'm not fasting today but I am doing a 16:8. Have a good rest of the day.

I'm fasting today (end of week 2 for me)
I'm also new to this forum.
First post right here

Welcome, zealousgirl!

I'm fasting today 3/3 I'm glad I'm fasting today, I still feel really sick after eating yesterday. I just can't eat a lot anymore and I try to- bad move lol

I'm in !!! Hope blood tests we're okay xx

Morning (for me), I'm in today-my second fast day in a row because I'm doing 4:3 and only managed 2 so far (and I don't fast on weekends).

Going to the boyfriends tonight so I'm going to have to have extra strong will power! He's got a job interview though so if that goes well I imagine I'll give up my fast and get on the wine

My very sweet co-workers just had a late birthday party for me, and somehow I resisted the *two* cakes. I've put my pieces in the fridge for tomorrow.

That was hard.

Well done re fridging the cake, MaryAnn - respect!

I'm in today too - my 3rd fast of the week as I'm trying 4:3 for the first time. Would be the day I am off to a garden centre this morning.....that has possibly one of the best cafes ever! Going with two friends, but have already told them to fill their boots and not give me another thought! I'll be the one drinking a pot of tea, ha ha!!!

Like you, Daydreamer, I am quite pleased to be fasting....due to yesterday's excesses! It's really interesting to find that the fasts are not the tricky days....hence my move to 4:3.

Big welcome to the newbie who has posted on here. Sorry I have forgotten your name....lack of food plays havoc with my little grey cells.....or maybe I am just plain old!!!

Wishing you all a great day today...& a big hello to Tinamacarina - we can do it!!

I'm in! Not hungry today at all after a carb fest yesterday, ready for my last of three this week as usual.
Happy fasting everyone! x

I'm in today

Welcome to the forum, zealousgirl!

I'm fasting today. It's my first time on a Friday! It's also my first time fasting back to back. I fasted yesterday and due to different circumstances this week these 2 days ended up being the only ones that worked out.

I'm a little nervous about it for some reason, but I think it'll be ok. I'm going to allow myself to go over the 500 by a bit and I'm bringing some food with me to work, in case I really feel that I need to have lunch. But, I'm hoping not to!

Have a good day, everyone!

I'm in today. I didn't manage a fast day for the first time yesterday, so am trying today instead. I'm actually feeling weak with hunger and it's only lunchtime. Think it's going to be tough. Especially with the family planning to tuck into fish and chips in front of the Sochi opening ceremony tonight

I haven't been on the forum for ages, although I have still been 5:2ing (9 months now). Still, I haven't actually lost any weight for months, have felt a bit demotivated and thought I needed a boost. So...here I am again!

Make sure you are drinking enough Hourglass! How about a nice cup of tea? I have to say your BMI is pretty low. Maybe you don't need to lose anymore? I think it's probably very hard the less you weigh!

I am here today; yesterday was a BOMB as my second fast day -- when mealtime came around, I could NOT control my portions and ate way too much of 2 items on the menu. Note to self: do NOT make mashed potatoes & lima beans on fast day!!

So, since I went overboard by a LOT yesterday, I am going to make today a fast day as well. Then, probably one of the days on the weekend; that won't be much different than how my weekend goes normally, so I am OK with it.

(off to fill my water bottle)


it's time!
