The FastDay Forum

Well I'm now feeling ok after some veges and fruit- very early dinner at 5.30, DD and I couldn't last any longer. Luckily DH doesn't care what time he eats and I had nice leftovers for him!
DD has a really bad headache, I think she was too busy to drink enough today at work.
I must say the last few fasts, after being on 5:2 for more than a year, I've felt sick and headachy by 2ish in the afternoon, and I am drinking enough.
I can still do the Monday fast but I'm finding it hard to do a second in the week.
Oh well, maybe it's the humidity in Sydney!
All the best for the rest of your days everyone.

Woo hoo. Another nice day today. Good morning fellow fasters.

I'm in today too, looking forward to Seven Veg Risotto with TVP sausage burgers, around 3pm, and a cup of tea in a few minutes. Lost 0.4 kg this morning despite having a pear cider during the England game yesterday, so very pleased. Good luck to everyone else fasting today.

@ Danielle,
I have found in the past that if everything else in life seems bad, but you feel in control of your weight it can really give you a lift!
Well done for trying to stick to your fasting routine under enormous duress.
Good Luck!

I haven't decides if I'm fasting yet or not. I have a really sore throat/chesty cough thing and I haven't slept for the past two nights because I'm in so much pain. I really would like to maintain my Monday fast but it just might not happen today

I'm in too today. We had a lovely walk yesterday it was SUNday after all.

When I felt like that I did 500-1000 cals instead (Meaning I had a light lunch of soup and hot drinks when I needed them).

I'm in!
Happy fasting everyone x

I have fasted today; evening meal already consumed, but am out for the rest of the evening, so that will help me get thru the rest of the day.

Happy fasting all!

Well done SallyO. I'm in today, very much needed after a very calorific Sunday

Yep I'm in too for the usual Monday.
My weight seems a bit 'stagnant' at the moment - wonder if I'm overdoing the normal days?
Will keep going, and I agree that whatever else is going on in your life, being in some sort of control of the weight does give a boost mentally.
Lovely sunny morning here, and that also gives a boost!
Good luck all.

I'm in - usual Monday fast.

Happy Monday, my fabulous fellow fasters!

I'm in.......& need to be after yesterday's shocking over-eating.....silly girl. Coincides with PMT, so I know why I do it, but so far, lack the ability to rein myself in........grrrr!

No idea what the scales will say today. Fasted 3 times last week & walked 5 times, plus 1 jogging/walking up the hills session....but no doubt that will get cancelled out by the bloating (& maybe yesterday!)

Still, we are all in it for the long haul, eh? So I'll just grit my teeth whatever the scales say.....& carry on fasting!

Have a great day everyone

First day fasting after a four month lapse. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm in again - over indulgent weekend again I'm afraid so going to do it properly today as failed last week miserably. Anyway, happy fasting day everyone!

Hello all. I'm coming back after a bit of a break. Have tried numerous ways to lose weight and not been particularly successful. I figure that I'd still like to receive any possible health benefits from fasting so here I am. I've joined a well-known slimming club which has taught me how to eat healthily so with that and 5:2 (or 4:3), I'm hoping to have a breakthrough. Good luck all fasting today. Many of you are seasoned fasters so I'm sure you'll all be just fine. Wish me luck!
