I wish I liked miso soup, but it is revolting and always tastes 'fishy' to me. Very annoying. Succumbed and bought a low cal cup a soup as I needed something warming. Will it ever warm up here?!

I'm late, but I'm here. I had to have a pap smear this morning and then I've been doing jobs, making phone calls and driving all over the coast. It's lamb backstrap and beetroot salad for dinner and I'm ready for it NOW.

I buy all the miso soups in the Japanese shelf in COles and Woolies and I love them all. Haven't had anything today, except tea and coffee, but that's where I go if I'm desperate.

Judio, funny about men. My OH won't eat 'stew' either, but is enthusiastic about a 'braise' or a 'casserole'.

Late reporting in today - but here I am, 6pm and not actually even feeling that hungry yet! Must be the enormously gluttonous weekend I just had - back to back events, all top quality food and drink - I was not going to deny myself

I'm actually enjoying the break from it today

Lovely to read your news Lady Muck! It's wonderful getting those surprise losses!

Not expecting any good surprises on the scales for me this week - but that's ok, as long as it's not too far in the other direction.

Well done to all those finishing their fasts for the day and good luck all those starting out! Also, welcome to anyone embarking on their first today

Looks like most of us Europeans aren't up yet! Public holiday here today. I'm back after a week of no fasting, put on less than a kilo so pleased about that. Back to no drinking as well.
Good luck everybody.

I'm in for a 16:8 with my eating window closing at 2pm. Never done it this way around but worth a go - still struggling!

Good luck everyone

Morning! I'm in today. Failed miserably on Thurs - not helped by being day before period started I think. Day of housework to keep me busy - hopefully!!
Good luck!

I'm in today, last 2 weeks have been a miserable failure so really want to make an effort, even if I can reach my interim goal by 6Dec, work Xmas do!!!!
:/

Hi Everyone, I'm in for the usual Monday fast. We had friends over the weekend, so too much food (and wine!) has been enjoyed! (the scales confirm this!)
Despite the awful weather today, I'm determined to keep going!

Remembering the Armistice today and thinking of those in the Phillippines.

I'm in - trying my second liquid fast today so I'll see how I get on - is this the wrong thread for that? Sorry if so. I dislike Mondays and the start of the work week but I find it an easier day to fast than my other fast day which is Weds. Good luck peeps!

I'm in! Had a food and alcohol fueled weekend, even enjoyed the hangover so today will be a great rest for my body. Happy fasting everyone! x

I'm in today after an ok weekend but BAD sunday with lunch out and chinese for dinner. I am slightly worried as I think I may have developed an ulcer. I have a knawing kind of burny feeling under my sternum which is kind of in my chest too. Was put on nexium before when I had this for a month and it cured it. I got it after using calories on a fast day to have 2 glasses of wine - really bad idea as it hurt my tummy but my tummy hasn't been right since. Advice on what to take?

Count me in. Last week was a strange week for fasting. Dont think I managed 500 cals on either days and then tried 16/8 but it all went wrong. Just hope I can stick to 500 cals this week. Good luck all fasting today.

Good Morning count me in for my first fast of the week. Hope everyone has a good day.

Usual Monday fast, started the day at the gym which helps keep hunger at bay for the morning. Last week I finished on the same weight I was before going on holiday which I felt was a win, but it took a 16:8 as well as the 2 fast days to get there. This week I'm hoping to do the same, fasting today and Thursday and a 16:8 on Weds, and hoping to see some kind of loss by Friday.

Good luck everyone who's fasting today.

Me too. First fast of the week. Have a good one, one & all.
