The FastDay Forum

Oh very jealous of your ocean swim, Sandcastle. I lived in Coogee for my first 4 years in Australia, and Sydney Eastern 'Burbs are is one of my favourite places in the world. Remember the sea was always pretty chilly this time of year, took until Nov before it warmed up.

[tag]@sandcastle I went for 3 swims down at North Wollongong last week, one in the pool and two at the beach.
It was FREEZING- but DD and I did it- we were very proud of ourselves.
Once we'd been in for a few minutes it became bracing rather than icy

Fasting today so far- I'm tossing up whether to try the 16:8 for a couple of weeks to give myself a little break. I still can't believe it would work for me,except as maintenance, but I see the evidence on others so may try it.
Have a good day everyone.

I am in! And hubby may be joining too! I am so excited about that. I'll report Monday night!

A swim sounds like a lot more fun than the mammogram and beast ultrasound I just had. Well it's one way to fill in a couple of hours on a fast day. Oh the joys of turning fifty

Ohhh, the rumbles are really coming now! Daydreaming about carbs :/
A ham, cheese and tomato sandwich on white bread would be lovely. With a bag of cheese and onion crisps and a cider on the side! Oooohhhhh.

I'm in for my normal Monday when I wake up. Tomorrow is also weigh in day. Hoping to break thru the 4 week plateau, but maybe it's the 6 month curse. I'm keeping the faith, staying to the fasts, hanging with the steps and confident it will move at some point.

Good luck for tomorrow Linda!
I will also be weighing but pretty sure I will be the same.

I'm in too! Also back from 1 week of holiday feasting - and my first break from 5:2 since I started. Boy, I sure didn't hold back, and I dare not weigh in until I've got at least one fast day under my belt.

Feeling prepared for the gain which my clothes and mirror tell me is there. Just hoping that the bounce back down happens as fast as it seems to for others!

I had a technology free holiday, which was lovely, but it's also very nice to be back on the board seeing how you're all going.

Happy fasting today

I'm in too. On my way to do some clothes shopping at the moment; really enjoying that these days!

Glad to hear you had a great holiday Wineoclock, I'm sure you'll drop the extra weight in a week or two; there's no rush anyway is there?

Have a wonderful time in Thailand, Julianna!

I'm in also.I've tried to fill in some time by clearing out the wardrobe of all my clothes that are too big.4 bags full but I've only shifted them to another cupboard just in case I have a relapse.
Cheers Carmel

Carmel give them away! You will not have a relapse. I'm confident.
Thats amazing. I've just spent the last 4 hours doing exactly the same thing as you- freaky hey? I have 1 enormous bag of good stuff size 18 to pass on to a friend and 1 big bag for rubbish of old stuff no one would want and a load of smaller stuff in washing machine that I haven't seen in a while. Thats a great feeling. I really buy too many clothes
Lil- that sounds yummy. Maybe you can have it tomorrow?
Wineoclock -ouch. Was the mammogram painful?
Take care all. Xxx

Thanks AiriR, I will.

Lil- that sounds yummy. Maybe you can have it tomorrow?
