The FastDay Forum

I'm here too!
Didn't swim this morning, decided to try a walk instead. I used to walk for excercise but stopped when I had a tendonitis. Maybe now I'm not so heavy on my legs it will be ok- we'll see!

Wineoclock I hope the hands of time speed up for you- tough on a fast day just hanging around!

My 22 yr old daughter decided to fast last week, just the one day, and is doing it again today - nice to have company fasting(well, at dinner time anyway) She is in a healthy BMI range just wants to lose a little.
OH on the other hand could do with a few fasts!
Have a good day everyone.

Hello everyone, I'm here today. I over indulged in the weekend and now having alot more hungry pains than normal cause I over ate. Also trying to find any excuse to not fast, its not going to be an easy day, willpower pull me through. Off now for another water and tea.

Yes, I'm in today too. Like you Zingbing I am feeling the effects of overeating for the past few days and now fasting is a tad harder today.

It has stopped raining here too Sallyo, sun out and the promise of spring... I have jonquils flowering in the garden, such a wonderful smell.

May every faster's willpower overcome today! (including mine...)

I'm in too - for some odd reason I am not hungry..well not rumbling hungry today - large cup of veg soup and some coffee - quiet day for me so home soon, yippee and a walk on the beach with 'the boys'.

I'm in!
My OH has an appt for blood tests this morning and is feeling sorry for himself because he can't have breakfast. I wonder if I dare suggest that he misses lunch too...

I'm in in mind but body is unwilling! Extremely tired but going for it all the same. Weather here is dark and miserable doesn't inspire to fast but the scales are positive encouragement! Have a great day everyone!

I am in today as well. Today and tomorrow in fact. Well, until tomorow night, in fact. My partner and I will go to the restaurant tomorrow and fasting 2 days is a row is how I cope with it and don't feel guilty eating fabulous food

Today will be a liquid fast, if you count soups on it. I began with a fresh lemon juice when I got up to help cleanse my body and I will have black tea late in the morning.

I want to make a cauliflower, broccoli and romanesco soup (without cream or potatoes in it, just the veg) but have no idea how many calories there are so it will wait another day. Instead, tonight will be chinese soup

I´m in too! Holidays are over and back to the business again. I did not fast on my holiday and got 1,5 kg holidayfat... =O Well, no panic and show must go on! Have a nice day everyone.

My first fast and my first post. I am staying for a while with a friend who has been doing 5:2 successfully for the past few months and just want to join in! Great forum for information and I enjoy reading your posts - very supportive of one another.

I'm also in today. Following all of you in Australia and other far flung places.

Im in too after a fairly indulgent weekend with v little (ok none whatsoever!) Exercise. Been really stuck on the weight loss the last couple of months, so frustrating when the first 14 weeks or so I was steadily losing over a lb a week. Oh well, musnt give up!!

I'm in - happy Monday fasters, have a good day!

I'm in after a heavy BBQ last night, a lot of "empty" calories consumed

My exercise today, off for a good gallop

@wineoclock - hang on in there, tough day for you.

Thanks for the words of support. Both parents are home, Mums cataract surgery went well and Dads angiogram results were good. I'm home feet up, glad I cooked tonight's dinner yesterday. Amazing how a day like today just drains all energy, I'll sleep well tonight.
Hope everyone else is having a good fast.

I'm back in after two weeks of having family to stay and no fasting. Like AM73 I've put on over a kilo so will spend the next month getting rid of that, it doesn't move quickly. Only another ten and a half hours to supper.

Glad everything went well today Wine o' clock,
