The FastDay Forum

Nobody in today? Not even on the usually popular Thursday? I am, as I was not able to on my regular Tuesday. If you are out there and fasting: have a nice day today (and perhaps an even better day tomorrow )

Hi @P-JK. I am just at the end of my Thursday fast day. I count it as a successful one. Avocado at lunch, and a couple of strawberries. Dinner some stirfry, and yogurt with a couple of mini meringues crunched on top.

Happy Thursday fasting everyone!
Merry

I did fast until 7pm when we got take away sushi. I didn't go crazy but the rice probably pushed me over the 500 calories, if not the glass of red wine I had afterwards. However, I went to the gym first thing this morning, did 13k+ steps on top of that and cleaned the house (my 'day off') so I used a fair few calories I'd say. We'll see what the scales show tomorrow...

I'm in today, and it's not quite 10am here so I've got the whole day in front of me. Just had black coffee so far; green tea soon, etc etc. Have been having a little trouble late at night (wish I could go to bed earlier, but have delayed sleep phase and can't) with noshing on inappropriate things, or just eating more of them than I should. Sigh...don't know why I resist tracking so much, it's only two days a week.

@Manderley, where are you? On Oct 28, a local Bowie tribute band, Bowie Vision (they're awesome) is going to have a show "Night of a Thousand Bowies" an attempt to break the world record of most people dressed as Bowie. My sis and I are going...

@ferretgal I am here ! It's been a bit hectic these past few weeks so it's a bit difficult to find the time to come here (by the way I love the new forum).
That's great news ! Which era will you choose to represent ? I joined a facebook group but don't have the time to go there as well these days. And I have now 4 Bowie's tattoos as well (don't remember if I mentioned it here or not)

Well, my son and I recently saw "Labyrinth," so I'm thinking Jareth (Goblin King). I'm a little nervous, since I'm not exactly Bowie-weight.... But it's just too much fun, the chance to participate in this! Wish you could be here!

Well, other people posted here on the 2nd, maybe I can too.
Yea, I too was around earlier on Thursday, and wondering where all the Thursday fasters were.
I 'fast' every day these days, but am tired of beginning a 'fasting today' page every day. Sigh. On Fridays I record my weight on the tracker. I was 100g heavier than I was on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the trend is slowly downwards. BMI is now 22.34.
Weight is 57.2 kg. And I tend to put on weight at the weekends and then lose it and more on a Monday. So we will see.
I had wondered whether I continue this fasting regime beyond August. Since the weight loss IS so gradual I thought I better do it

I, too, am a day late posting. What can I say about yesterday? It came, I fasted, it was over! Just as it should be after three and three quarter years of 5:2. I find it so easy now to throw in some fasts if I gain a few pounds.
For those of you at the start of your 5:2 WOL, I would like to say, 'Just stick with it! It transformed a serial, calorie-counting, yoyo dieter into someone who no longer does any of these things and has maintained, admittedly with some ups and downs, for over three years now.'
I just love this WOL!
