The FastDay Forum

PS...Good luck with painting your hall!

@nursebean Yes I'm eating at 6pm too
Nothing before only water + black coffee, some fastdays include a light lunch full of salad leaves, 1 stick of celery + feta cheese
not on a Monday though after the excesses of a weekend
its always a willing one.

Good to see we Monday fasters are all together now (well, our posts are).

I am munching on a carrot just prior to preparing dinner - managed to get to 5.30pm on liquids only. Salmon and veggies for me, sausages for the menfolk. Then some berries and non-fat no-sugar added yoghurt. I go out Monday eves, so that helps time pass too.

All the best to all who still have lots of hours to go

Hopefully we now have only one fasting today thread.

Thanks for the heads up @Sue.Q.

Good morning all

I am in as well although I'm not feeling great today. Feel like coming down with a cold.

Here I am.... July was poor result... I blame the hot weather so needed fewer calories to tick over or more lolling about due to heat? Definite change to autumnal weather now.

I'm in for a "make it count Monday". Let the group hugging commence ((((((((((hugs, hugs hugs aww!!))))))))))). Just what I need this back to basics, so nice that we're all doing it together, I love you guys
As I mentioned last week my fast days haven't often been 500cals over the last few weeks. I seem to be trying to get as much food as poss out of my 500cals, doing this I go over every time and tell myself 'well, I've still had a good fast really'. Time to 'wo'man up, I'm gonna feel hungry, I'm gonna want to eat more, I'm gonna want to eat that little bit of something else. Well not today, for today we fast. Today I will aim to eat at 7ish but if I'm busy it will be later, last nights dinner was 9:30, it all depends how busy I am and how long dinner takes to make. I hope we're having a back to basics theme all week, it feels like a breath of fresh air has blown through this fasting today thread.
Good luck everyone , let's do this xxx

My post has disappeared
I am in today. Aiming to eat 6ish, but this may change as we are getting a couple hours off this evening, whilst older daughter babysits! I want to go out in the camper and watch the boats, but hubby wants to walk
We are having turkey strips and veg

I should be in today and want to be in today but have just started a course of antibiotics which need to be taken 'just before or with food'. As my normal fast day involves eating nothing until 7pm, I have decided that there will be no fasting for the next five days but I will try to avoid eating anything in between the three times a day needed for the antibiotics. I'm hoping that will be self-limiting enough to at least avoid putting any weight on.

Good luck to all those fasting today, especially the 'back to basics' members. I have never stopped being a 'basic' 5:2-er and it has worked really well for me.

Keep on keeping on. Onwards and downwards!
