The FastDay Forum

Good Morning fellow 5:2ers (and 4:3ers and 16:8ers and ADFers)
How are we all doing today?
I'm doing my first fast of the week. After last week's serious downer when I managed ONE fast and also managed to lose 400g I'm in a much more positive frame of mind.
Beloved is away and I've broken the bogey, got out of bed and EXERCISED! I will regret it
SO
First of three fasts, just water and coffee until tea time
ANd it's a wee bit cooler- I might be able to go out and play soon
Who's with me today?
Good luck to all fellow fasters

anyone else? feeling a bit lonely...

Not until tomorrow for me janeg. Hope you're fast is going well!

Hi Janeg, I'm joining you today! Don't usually fast on Sunday but a family visitor was staying with us over the last few days and I didn't want to fast while he was here. Love how flexible this WOE is!

To be honest, I almost gave up on today this morning - just didn't feel in the mood for fasting, especially when the boyfriend brought back fresh baguettes! But I battled through the morning and now I'm fine

Glad I'm doing it because I ate like a pig this past week!

Helllloooo Jane!
Not fasting either, but don't like to think of you feeling lonesome over there! I am having a semi-fast today, went out early for a walk/jog (much more of a walk really!!) and then on to the car boot - lovely top for me size 14 for 50 pence! and three beautiful baby dresses for my wee granddaughter £3 each, but they're as new and a very posh make! fasted yesterday, unplanned, so pretty pleased about that. Will have a frittata soon, as haven't eaten anything yet. OMG the smells at the car boot from the catering van, fried onions and chips ( at 8 in the morning!!). Stronger stomachs than mine were busy polishing off chips and curry sauce - the Great Scottish palate ha!ha! :grin
Good luck to everyone fasting today.

Not a planned fast for me as Monday is my day but have a heavy cold and just don't want to eat so fluids it is until later today when "I might be able to force down " some moussaka (I'll still be under the 500) - here's hoping! Then I'll see what happens tomorrow - fast or my normal 18-6

just had my poached eggs and toast. Another successful fast.
Dhana, really couldn't manage chip with or without curry sauces in the morning but am very partial to pakora, samosa and indian bread!
Are you couch to 5k- ing?
Hope your cold passes AnnieW- I have an invalid at the moment who is hawstin' (coughing) her insides out.
And hope yours is going well Kawberlin.
MAybe when America comes on line it won't just be the two of us

I'm fasting today - unintentionally! Feel absolutely lousy so have stuck to liquids although hubby is making a roast beef dinner so I will have some of that (hopefully get it down past my enlarged tonsils!) Will still fast as normal tomorrow though otherwise my routine is out and I need my routine

Planning my first ever fast day tomorrow. My sister started 5:2 in June and has lost 16kg so far. Her enthusiasm has persuaded me to give it a go and she highly recommends the forum for support so wish me luck.

Welcome BigStoatir!
Good luck for tomorrow and if you read all the balloons above that will answer a lot of questions for you.
Remember to fill in your tracker info and take lots of measurements, it's amazing how your weight seems not to shift and you lose inches sometimes.
There is another forum To Introduce Yourself, and you'll get a better welcome if you post there - where are you from? We always like to know that!! for tomorrow.
