The FastDay Forum

Im here today too.
In Wales visiting the little grandchildren for 4 days and was planning on giving myself these days off but they are all very supportive and im on a fasting day today ....good luck everyone

I'm in too. Not long till bedtime.

I am fasting today too. Last week I was in Cornwall so I gave the fast a break and ate pasties, ice cream and a clotted cream tea... well, you gotta live sometimes! I got on the scales this morning expecting the worst. But low and behold, I am still down on weight. I did do extra walking and cycling last week so it proves you can treat yourself occasionally providing you keep active!

Hi, I'm in today, normally do Tuesday but possibly going out tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

I'm fasting today as well. Will top it up with some Bikramyoga this evening to keep myself bus I'm alone at home and really would like to avoid that I start eat when no one sees me.

Welcome to the forums Susie!

I'm in. I'm groggy this morning. A sweet new nephew arrived late last night which is very exciting ... I need some coffee ASAP and will likely have a light lunch and a slightly bigger dinner. Monday and Thursdays are my regular fast days but we have a daytrip scheduled for Thursday so I'm planning for Wednesday instead.

I am fasting too... as usual ... always looking forward to mondays fasting after the weekend

Good luck to all of you

Count me in, hope everyone has a great day!

I am in today. It's around lunchtime here in the UK and I am about to have my first meal for today.... and I am ready for it! This will be my 6th fast day on 5:2 (this time around as a lapsed returner) and I am currently contemplating trying 4:3 for a short period prior to a forthcoming holiday but not 100% sure if that would be a good idea or not.

We will be joining all of you wonderful fasters ). I have my grandson today so will be busy chasing a 2 year old around ! We actually look forward to our fasting days ! Good Luck Friends

I am in today. I had a friend and her two sons along with my six yr old step son at the weekend. Very noisy, crowded and stressful. I sought refuge in food and drink. Didn't dare step on the scales to assess the damage. Dinner tonight is omelette with smoked Lincolnshire poacher.

Late check in again, I seem to be getting lapse at checking in' but fast 36 today, just part of normal life now, which I love x Sipping slimline tonic for an afternoon treat x

Yes I am in today,but wondering if I should have waited for to or row...upset tum yesterday means nothing in the system! So hungry and tired...still over a kilogram gone after the first two not very strict fasts, so on the right track. Looking now for a low cal dressing for the coleslaw I shall make tonight.

Today's fast is hard work. A colleague is back from holidays and brought back some kind of Spanish cakey biscuits (haven't wanted to take too close a look). Hope there's some left tomorrow!

Then just before lunch break I had really strong hunger pangs, the kind where you feel so hungry that you feel a bit nauseous (this has always been something that has happened to me, anyone else? My BF for example has no idea what I mean when I say that). Hasn't happened for a while and I think it might be a blood sugar thing but unsure why I'd have one in the middle of a fast day.

Anyway the hunger has passed now, I had a walk outdoors and now having a cup of tea with artificial sweetener (not usually my thing but felt the need for something sweet). There's chicken stock simmering in the slow cooker at home so will have that for dinner, maybe with some chilli paste and lime juice for a hot and sour broth kind of thing.
