The FastDay Forum

Me too. Only a small break out with those pesky biscuits! Goodnight all.

I'm in! I'm actually skipping breakfast again. I never thought I would, even though so many of you do, but now I'm good with it! I do bring a yogurt with me in case I can't make it through the whole day. But, it's less work in the morning and I don't have to worry about going over my calories at dinner, since I have plenty!

Hello all fellow fasters.

I am so ready for todays fast after a hectic schedule lead to bad habits this weekend!!

For my buddy @Lizbean I am right here with you!! Hope you didn't think I had abandoned ship!!

The warmer weather is helping me - I love Spring and just being outside. It's still jacket weather up north but have downgraded from hat/gloves/thick winter waterproof in favour of lightweight puffa and I feel epic!

Have a good day people

Well, that's my day almost over. Just got back from one of my choirs where we were rehearsing mostly wartime stuff for Anzac Day gigs. Lots of fun and I'll be singing "We'll gather lilacs" which I really love. Finished my day with a small, weak, iced coffee and 5 raspberries. Yum.

Im in. It is just about lunch time here. I have just had my usual stock, greens and fish broth. My hands start shaking when I get too hungry, so I dont think I could ever make it all the way to dinner time. Mind you I have fasted since 7pm last night, so that puts me well into the magic 16hr window

Good luck or well done Monday fasters!

I'm in.

Fruit fingers for breakie, coming in at 120 calories...starving by lunchtime, so had a subway flatbread, which was wroun 400 calories, so that's my food intake done for the day!

@justdee, how's your fasting going today?xx

I have to declare myself out today, my migraine has got the better of me, off work and feeling sorry for myself so will try again tomorrow instead.

Hope your doing ok @mikesgrl79

I'm in, too. Today I'm going to experiment with postponing my lunch to see if I end up more or less hungry. Last week I got very hungry between my 160 calorie lunch and dinner.

Hi @pinchypops I started off with good intentions but just had half a sandwich so that's half my cals gone for a moment of weakness, oh well I'll have to have less dinner tonight. Hope today's an easy one for you

Half way through the day and nothing so far apart from a black coffee and 1 litre of sparkling water. I'm just starting to feel a bit hungry now but watching a retrospective on Spitting Images which is keeping my mind reasonably occupied (as well as the fact that I'm browsing round the 5:2 forum which is always fun).

Hi all, I'm back after a 6 week break. I am in the middle of a 40day transformation gym programme and getting nowhere. 5:2 is the only thing that worked for me before so I'm trying again. Fast 1 and I'm easing into it. Had fruit and salad for lunch which has come in at 191. I'm going to have left over chicken stirfry with old el paso seasoning for dinner(220) and 2 squares of choc for a treat. Always hated fasting but no pain no game. Have a bootcamp class tonight which shall take my mind off a long night

@Cherylhead, what a stupid doc! You are working so hard and achieved already so much, even keeping strong when your colleague offers your fresh cream meringues. I'm glad you are still ok on your fast day! You are doing great!

@Chocobunny, blast those migraines! I hope you feel better soon. Good luck tomorrow!

@Peebles, good luck with postponing lunch. Hope it works out as you want it to!

I had a bigger lunch salad then I meant too, so I think I'll skip dinner today. It will be a long hungry evening I'm afraid

am in today too. Hungover as went out for a few last night (on a work night, bad idea!) haven't really felt like eating yet, just going to have tea (probably a small bit of leftover Jack Monroe Paella, some steamed cabbage and depending on calories a pork chop).

Stupid letter!! You are quite right to be cross.

I'm in today. Was going to fail at lunchtime, but OH said he wasn't having any lunch, was going to do the same as me because his weight is creeping up. Hooray! Err, no, I mean... That meant I didn't have lunch, and hopefully getting back to target might be possible after all.
