The FastDay Forum

I'm in for a 16:8 day - we're having people over for a casual BBQ around lunchtime and I'm not going to stress out about keeping it down to 500 cals. I've been doing a few 16:8 days lately and feel like they fit in with this time of the year better for me.

Hello Everybody

I'm here doing it all again as well! I am also feeling extremely positive and very focused!

Take care Sue, enjoy your walk Juliana, the duck sounds delicious Sally.

Lots of water, herb tea, coffee and now an apple to keep me going until the evening meal of BBQ steak and steamed vegies.

Enjoy the day everybody.

cheers Maggie

I'm in. Also looking forward to it as Thursday is my monthly weigh day.
Switching up to Monday/Friday this week, then back to Monday/Thursday. A few too many cookies this week & we're having people over for NYE, so I'll try 16:8 on non-fast days this week. Best of luck getting back on track to all of us & happy 2014...

I'm in. Today is my first day. So good luck to me and u all.

I'm here and feeling fine.

I'm here and feeling fine.

I'm just starting my 1st fast day .. after a long break (and never did it continuously for more than a month). This time its for GOOD, want to look and feel more healthy this time next year! Had a trial run last week and managed to go without anything (apart from black tea) til 3pm - so planning on just a CuppaSoup round about then, then main meal at 6'ish. Early bed!

I really needed to be on here about 2 hours and 20 minutes ago, as I was really struggling. Server was down, anyway had a weight watchers wrap just now and I am starving still, darn.

@zamaleYes, I had the same problem! I was dying! I ended up having 2 sao biscuits with butter and a scraping of Vegemite. Empty jar - our Swedish, Australian visiting nephew must have polished it off! At last it's time to start cooking dinner!

Not fasting today but dropped in - being nosey!
Good luck on your first fasts maryannemcconnell and wannaBslimmer.
Have a good fast everyone and it'll be my turn (kind of ) tomorrow.

I'm in today too, back to sanity I hope! Managed to fast Monday and Friday during Christmas week and the damage was not too bad but then over the weekend seemed to gravitate to the chocolate and nuts and nibbles etc that were still to hand....scales were very challenging this morning. So, fast today and then Thursday as usual.

Yes Sallyo, very grey here too, where is our summer?
And you Blue Mountain girls, I lived there years ago, in Hazelbrook, then Woodford, Kanimbla Valley off the Shipley Plateau and also Leura. Nice memories of walking and waterfalls, it is very beautiful there.

Best wishes to all fasters today, especially you new 5:2ers !

I'm in! I feel hungover I've eaten so poorly!

Hi everyone, the walk was gorgeous but as I'm still carrying around 40 unnecessary pounds climbing up steep steps out of the valley was challenging. How's it going @Wineoclock with your fast day ?

I'm in - I managed a PROPER fast on Sat for the first time in a week so am feeling motivated and the weight I put on on my holiday seems to be disappearing so it's all good - I had thought there for a while I was on the slippery slope. Hopefully not. Good luck to all fasters today!

Today is my fasting day too - looking forward to it
That sounds good, last fasting day for 2013
