The FastDay Forum

Fast day today. Scales were up again this morning.

I'm doing my #2 fast today. Started on Monday and that went well.
Today has been good. When I get hungry I just put the food I want on a list in my head to eat tomorrow. This fast has been a bit easier than Mondays fast. Hoping for a loss on the scales when I do my weekly weigh on Monday morning.

I'm in but seriously considering switching to tomorrow as I'm not sure I can stick to a fast today. Yesterday I couldn't keep my supper down - not sure if the apple I'd cooked with the pork was "off" in some way (though it looked and smelled fine) or if it was because I'd slightly over-salted the dish. It definitely wasn't the meat as I had a little of it cold later and it stayed down. I've woken very hungry but also with a severe headache as I slept badly.

I think I'll give the fast a try and if I fail I'll do it properly tomorrow.

I am really hungry today! And I can't even think to myself about everything I'm going to eat tomorrow as my wine for the evening will take up half of my TDEE lol.
Oh

I'm in today too, sunny but breezy here in NZ today! Just about ready for dinner before heading out to do a presentation tonight. Not sure how nerves will be on an emptyish tummy!
TGIF tomorrow.
Cheers all and good luck fellow fasters!

I am in today too! Feeling a bit hungry and cranky by this end of the day, but reading all your lovely posts really helps push me along

WineOclock - have a fantastic holiday. My kids and I went to Cambodia and Vietnam in April and it was incredible. The food is so fresh and delicious... oh dear, not the best thing for me to think about on a fast day!

Hang in there all you Thursday fasters - those who are heading for dinner and those who haven't even woken to their fast day yet.

Yes, I'm on the home run, its 10 to 4 pm and my boiled egg is 40mins away. This fast was harder than usual, I was drooling at 9 am today and I've already researched the worlds best lasagne, its on all recipes.com. I plan on making it the next 2 days.

I'm in! Second fast of the week for me. Have woken up ravenous which is unusual for me. Hoping this peppermint tea will get rid of any cravings.

Have been doing liquid fasts recently but it's cold and rainy and I am having a lovely bit of pork with heaps of steamed veg - but not for 12 hours!!!

Happy fasting to all xxx

Hope no one is feeling as hungry as me!

I am in! Week 4, day 8.

@Lil, fortunately I split my calories into breakfast and dinner. Very happy I could eat something this morning!

Have decided to fast tomorrow instead, after all. Absolutely not well enough today to give it a go.

You're lucky being able to separate your calories. I know if I ate breakfast I would be starving again after half an hour.

I would suspect that it was the pork which got you. And i would be inclined to fast today in order to empty your stomach of any nasties which may still be lurking. Hope you recover soon.

Anyway I'm also in n today, haven't done a 5.2 for ages.

Good morning! I'm in today. Not sure I've ever done a Thursday before, but my work days have changed now so it will suit me better.

Have a lovely day everyone

I'm in today too. Don't you hate it when you wake up too early on a fast day?
The weather in SE England can best be described as Bleurghh, thought the forecast is for it to brighten up. I hope so as I have a list of garden chores to get done before what is forecast to be a rainy weekend.

I need to get to M&S to buy some pjs too, I'm really feeling the cold and my old ones are way too big and gaping at the neck

Good luck all
