Morning all


nice and early start for me,(just got in work)...well, not so sure about the nice grrrrrr...ask me again around 3pm.........

black coffee so far, and 2 small plain pancakes... got an instant soup and 2 very small bananas for lunch, these are so good because 2 little ones are enough when fasting, they are kiddies ones lol

anyway good luck to everyone else fasting today, its going to be a hot one in London today!

enjoy your day

I'm in too...
Warm and sunny here in France, going to do some gardening then go for a walk. Anything to keep busy. Have a morning to myself as DH gone to play golf....yeh!
2 egg omelette and salad for me tonight, with diet jelly and yogurt for pud.
Have a good one....

My second fast today and so far so good. So much useful information on this forum about what to expect when you start 5:2 so I was prepared to feel faint, hungry etc, but no adverse effects so far. I think I will stick to a salad for lunch (about 2pm) and then main meal just before 8pm, so that gives plenty of time for the effects of fasting to kick in.

I'm in as well,3rd of the week , today instead of yesterday. It's the weekend and too hot to go out so I'm jealous of lornameg's gardening. Beloved has left for Moscow so I'm on my tod for a week too. Doesn't make any difference to fasting though.
Not quite sure what to do with myself today...
Here's to a good one fellow fasters

Me too. Getting one in before bank hol. Porridge (graze box one) in mid afternoon, and rest of cals tonight. Hope all have a good day!

Late afternoon in freezing Melbourne and I have been reluctant to do anything but read or knit.
I have just cut up some vegetables for a stir fry and taken some fish out of the freezer to grill so I'll have that about seven.The cold weather is not helping as I don't want to get out and exercise but spring can't be far away and then I'll get into the garden like Lornameg

Yes but I have a cold starting so not sure how I will get on. I do want to stick it out though as I am doing so well. Wish me luck and good luck to everyone else!

My third fast this week and being at work will keep me busy.
One egg and coffee breakfast then the rest of my calories tonight about 8. I don't have a clue what I will eat as I finished my ratatouille last night. That's a dangerous position to be in I think! Might need to go food shopping tonight for veggies lol but on an empty stomach might also be a challenge. Must drink a gallon of water first perhaps?

Good luck Anne!

hope your cold doesnt get in the way too much!

Yes I'm in willingly as I went out for a curry last night and still
feeling rather full. So full and feeling confident enough to go food shopping Good Luck Sue

I'm in! Had a proper 4:3 week this week so have lost the weight I'd put on over the last 2 weeks and an extra lb! Have a great day all

Fasting again today since yesterday ended with a 10pm mini binge of whatever calorific I could find in the cupboard and so more like 1000kcal for the day. Disappointing after an initially successful day.

So fasting again today - just a black coffee and a herbal tea so far. I've found a new tea I like, lemon balm and licorice.

Even skipping breakfast and lunch should make up for the partial deficit yesterday but might be good to build a deficit "cushion" before the bank holiday weekend. Started watching Bake Off last night (just before succumbing to the snacks; perhaps not a coincidence) and I think I'll have a go making the angel food cake tomorrow!

Yes my OH & I are in today so lots of Expresso coffee from my new coffee maker & water to drink before eating at dinner. We are off to Devon for a week then South Wales for a second week tomorrow, but because we are self catering we will try to fit some fast days in. Fortunately no hotel English breakfasts to negotiate but we will be eating out several times.
Have a good day everyone.

HUNGRY!!!!!

I'm in! Going to clean out the fridge in a minute. I should be ok there's nothing tempting in it and it's filthy! That should pass the time a little.
