The FastDay Forum

Good morning to my Southern Hemisphere fasting buddies, who is with me today?

Such an early start for me today, it's going to feel like a very long fast.

Best of luck to anyone starting their 5:2 journey today and looking forward to seeing my northern hemisphere fasting buddies joining in as the day progresses.

Ready for my black coffee starter now... then some BBQ and salad for dinner .... In about 12 hours time!

Happy fasting, it's going to be a good one!

Me too. Gym fist, then black coffee with yoghurt, then dinner at 6.30-7pm.

Still four hours of Sunday to go here, but I will be fasting Monday

See you later!

Hi, yes i'm fasting today to. Got to keep myself busy - that seems to help a lot. Saying that.... i'm still lazing in bed although I have been up.

Burp! I've only just finished my rather late Sunday dinner. But I will be joining you tomorrow. I have a whole bottle of wine to dispose of this week.

Im in too. Had a piggy few days away in my mam's. I think I could happily live off the reserves for days, though im sure that by lunchtime I will be shaking with the hunger!

Hi Otter and all Magical Monday fasting friends!
Will be joining in after some zeds! Should be easy as i seem to have no appetite right now..hallelujah! Makes a change

I'm here

See you in the morning, chilled white before then!

Very early start, Otter! I'm in. I've been up for an hour or so, paying bills on line. Very satisfying feeling. I'm in. I've got to talk as a candidate at a political forum on Austism tonight. The main candidate is away in Hobart so I have to do it. I'm fairly nervous as I haven't had to do anything like this before now. I have a heap of stuff about various Green party initiatives in this area to read and absorb before then. EEEK. So I think I'll come home early, have a salad of tomatoes,cucumbers, beans and smoked fish about 4 or 5pm so I am not feeling on edge at 6pm when I have to speak to the masses of parents of children with Autism. I have ordered an expensive pair of size 14, (it still thrills me to say that!) polka dot silk pants, which should arrive in the mailbox today. I hope I haven't been too extravagant and that they look ok! It shits me that I have to get anxious about what to wear, when a man would just take a suit and tie out of the cupboard and that would be that. Mind you, I'd rather wear polka dot silk pants! Have a good day everyone!

Hello @Otter
And all fellow fasters

I have been taking the scenic route but am now ready to do a serious fast today.

You will do well@Sallyo

Woohoo the polka dot pants sound fantastic and great work with the size!!

Have a great day everybody.

Cheers
Maggie

Morning all...I'm in...working today...which makes fasting much easier:)

I'm in. Starting the 5:2 for the first time ever. Looks good and at the moment, confident I can do it. Lots of support and good advice on this website.

Hello everyone, I'm in today for regular fasting.
Even though I have not been on the forum for a while I have been fasting at least one day a week this year, back to my two on Mondays and Thursday now that my husband is back at work today after three months long service leave. Wonderful time with him, other family stuff harder to deal with though!

Sallyo, you will be fine tonight, it is great that you can step in like that.
Yes this election, what to say, not happy with the big parties at all. I am in Lyons and we have Tim Morris who is good.

No weight loss yet this year, been away kayaking again for 11days but did not put any weight on at least.....
Cups of tea and fish and garden vegetables tonight.
Best wishes all

I'm in too. Also Day 1 of my No Sugar Month (just to see if I can give up sugar for an entire month and see if it changes my sweet tooth at all).

Sure you'll be fine tonight Sallyo specially with polka dot pants on!
