The FastDay Forum

I'm fasting today, I'm a bit annoyed with myself because lately I have been picking at things, so I am packing that in right now! I still have over a stone to lose so I need to get real

I'm in for my usual Monday fast and I'm glad of it today. We had a function at the local sailing club on Saturday night which involved food and I felt rotten yesterday. Although I feel fine now I'm happy to give my digestive system a rest for a while. Planning Chicken and Tarragon Pots from The Hairy Dieters third book this evening.

Morning,
I'm in, its my first fast day ever today, I've been lurking a while. I've had milk in my coffee already, before I completely committed to today! I'll count that in. I have a chicken curry with veg planned for dinner and am planning on getting though the day on lemon and ginger tea and a couple of lo cal soups.
I've done the tracker and it says my fast day allowance is 697cals, so that's what I'm aiming for.
Wish me luck and will power x

Good luck for today, @oddball! My first fast seems a very long time ago - two years in fact- but this WOL does work if you give it a chance. I hope today goes well for you. Don't fear the hunger pangs- they will pass, just keep busy and keep hydrated!

Flying by to say I'm in and wish newbies and seasoned fasters good luck
Monday's feel funny for me!

Oh my, do I ever need a fast today! After 3 days with my sister and eating everything from caramel corn to gelato, not to mention drinking a few beers...OY! I feel so huge and bloated after feeling quite slim on Friday. Why did I do it to myself? Ah well....can't undo it now, just have to move on. I'm going to stay with her again weekend after next. Really have to keep it more sensible the next time!

Have a good fast day everyone!

I'm in today, feeling pretty sluggish after an indulgent Friday night and Saturday (at least yesterday was a bit more restrained) so needing a good fast day today. Plus, Mondays are a rubbish day of the week, might as well throw in a fast and get more of the week's rubbish-ness over and done with!

Good luck everybody

I'm in. My weekends are so out of control I keep cancelling out my sensible week I need to get a firm grip on my "feast" days

@Maggiee thanks I'll have a look.

Good Morning @Sallyo
Hi @DY13 How is NY today, thats a place thats definately on my travel bucket list.

It's SNOWING...again! I'm in Upstate Central NY. School is closed. I'll be going in to work!
I have a few low calorie soup packets, one lone oat bran muffin, and maybe a small something for dinner. Lots of tea, and water!

I'm in today, for the first time in a while.
Fell of my fasting wagon at Xmas and have struggled to get back on since.

It's going well so far and glad I've got this forum to turn to for support.

Hi all

I've just decided to have another go at this inspired by the Horizon weight loss program. Apparently as a 'constant craver' this is the plan for me.

Since my last attempt to lose weight I have started my own business making chocolates and being constantly surrounded by chocolate has done me no favours!

It's my first day today, I'm starving already and it's killing me not being able to nibble or lick spoons before they go in the dishwasher etc!

Help!

Hugs @Lori and @SkinnyJeans I'm right there with you on the cancelling out all the good work thing ...

I need to give up self sabotage for Lent next week !

Lets have a good fast day and get our 5:2 Mojo back

Lots of new faces today that's good welcome and good luck.
I've just had hot drinks up to now today, I thought I would see how long I could go as I know lots leave all their cals until their evening meal.
Not sure I can last that long but I figure the longer I leave it the more I will have for later.

Good morning everyone: I hope you are all having a good fast today.
I'm having my morning coffee and tonight I will have a taco salad for dinner without the shell.
Tracieknits : I live in central New York and the schools are all close today. We also having been having a lot of snow here just like you. They were also closed last Monday as well.
