The FastDay Forum

Morning All, I am with you too.
So sorry to hear about your mother SallyO, I am thinking of you at this sad time.
As others have said, go easy on yourself for now.
Have a good Monday fellow fasters.

I'm very sorry for your loss, SallyO, make sure you take good care of yourself xx

I'm fasting today, hopefully it will be my only fasting day this week, but I'll keep an eye on the scales! It's really warm here today, it must be all of 20 degrees so I'm hoping not to be as cold as usual on a fast day. I'm taking my cardi to work just in case though

Sorry for your loss Sallyo. I found the time between my Dad passing and funeral a weird time. I kept busy. It was about two weeks because of a bank holiday.

I am in today. Off for a jog shortly. Can't decide about dinner probably Gnocchi again.

I'm in today too - not a bad weekend treats wise but the weather's been scorching over here in the UK so might have had a little too much ice cream, oops! Just a small banana and a little bit of porridge with plenty of water for me today. Happy fasting, let's hope it goes quickly.

Sorry to hear of your loss sallyo.


Had too much wine and BBQ food this weekend
Im in today for fasting. Having only gained weight in the last few weeks im going to cut down on carbs on my non fast days from now on too. Gotta get this damn weight off !

Good luck everyone

I'm in today, very tired as didn't sleep much last night. On the plus side, the scale only went up 1.6lbs after a weekend of loveliness (normally 3 or 4 lbs up). Going to make it a good week as going away at the weekend. First, back to bed for a few hours. Have a good day everyone.

@philxjr low carb really got things moving for me when I did it for a week a few weeks back. I've had really reduced cravings for goodies since too. Good luck.

Yes I'm in today for a true fastday just off out for a walk.
Good. Luck to all fasters especially the newcomers.

I'm in! Had a BBQ/alcohol filled weekend so definitely need today's fast. Wish I wasn't stuck in the office though

My first fast of this second...and final attempt at 5:2.
I have a fairly busy day planned, and husband has a meeting with friends this evening, so no-one to comment when I have the big fresh salad I have promised myself.
This WOE worked so well for me last time, why did I ever think I could relax and "eat normally". This must now be my new normal.
Have just discovered liquorice tea, calorie free like other fruit teas, but tastes just like the liquorice root I used to chew as a child....younger members may not remember. It is going to be my godsend.
OK, off we go
Good luck to all fasters today

Thanks Dee

I am a major carb monster, love bread and pasta I do find on fast days, when i don't have carbs, I don't get as hungry as when I do have lots of bread etc. Just need to get my carb addiction under control and hopefully all will be good !

I'm with you all today. We had friends over for lunch on Saturday, which involved baking and eating, then more eating! I have been fitting in two fasts a week recently but have been massively over-eating on non-fast days. I'm never going to make my Summer Soltice challenge at this rate! in fact, I'm not even going to be back to target!(three and a half pounds over, at present) It's not the fasts which are the problem - it's the days in between!

Never mind! Good luck to all those fasting today! Stay strong! Onwards and downwards!

I'm in too today - good luck everyone

Count me in! Good luck one and all xx

Today is fast day for me too,

Good luck everyone, even though some of you on the other side of the earth are pretty much already done.

I'm in too. 1st fast of 2014 for me. Let the fun begin.
Good luck to all fasting today
