The FastDay Forum

Another fasting day. I have lost count. Been a bit chaotic recently with feed day eating and thus not losing weight. I need to get back on track. Going on overseas trip (mainly work) a week from today. No idea how I will manage then.

OK. I. will join you but after I've had a long sleep (hopefully)
I've just returned from evening meal out with friends 2 courses didn't have to 2 + now wished I hadn't feeling very stuffed
I had taken stock and looked at what I was eating because no loss for couple of weeks so hoping that may work. Good luck Sue
So will willingly fast tomorrow Thursday here in uk

Like SueQ I'll be with you when it is Thursday here in the UK.

Well, it's a sodden Thursday morning here and I'm fasting. The garden is waterlogged after all the rain and the Forth oval is flooded.

I am planning to have chorizo soup for dinner. I checked it out with MyFitnessPal and was shocked to see it was over 700 calories, so I'm pleased I looked. I can halve the quantity of lima beans and the chorizo and bring it into line. I was surprised the lima beans were so calorie rich. Also olive oil - 119 calories a tablespoon! Have a good day, everyone.

Mine has started and will last to tomorrow 7pm. Good luck everyone :0)

Good morning all. Having my black coffee for breakfast. Supermarket and hairdresser to keep me distracted today. I hope everyone has a great day.

I'm in today.

Stepped on the scales yesterday and found myself 1.6kg heavier than last week!

What I did find, though, is that the gain didn't upset me as much as I'd expected. If I'd had a week of feeling I'd denied myself food I'd enjoyed and then had a gain (as has happened with other 'diets') I'd have been much more frustrated. Since this WOE had allowed me to eat whatever I fancied it makes more sense to me to see some up and down. Guess feeing this unperturbed about a gain will only continue as long as I get some weeks with losses! And, of course, loss overall

Having my first breakfast free fast day... really interested to see how I manage without my morning porridge.

Hope you all have a great day!

Me too in amongst all you earlybird aussies and late-up brits - still 11pm here! Looking forward to tomorrow's fast after compliments today at work from colleagues, who I discussed 5:2 with for the first time. They thought I looked slimmer, and when I asked one to guess what I'd lost, she guessed 10lb! Wrong, it's only half that! But if it looks like 10lb, then that's ok by me!

Yes, I'm in today too. I've eaten a bit too much the last two days, so glad to be on a fast day.

Hi Sallyo, it is very wet down here too, water tanks pretty full though so that's good. I'm south of Sorell in the Southern Beaches area and it is often quite dry here so we are glad for the downpour!

Happy fasting everyone.

Good morning Thursday fasters!
I'm not joining you this week as I fasted yesterday , I'm meeting a friend for lunch today.
Just wanted to wish you all a good fast day!
Off for a swim now in sunny but cool Sydney.

Not this week. I have a blood donning session today.

Here but don't want to be am struggling a little this week with stress and feel like turning to comfort food.

Hi everyone. I'm in too. Trying out a new dinner tonight. For the Aussies- I found it at Woolworths in the fridge section.292 calories. brand -street food meal pots. Caribbean jerk chicken with rice.$7. It looks nice.I'll let you know if it tastes nice. Cheers.: sending you a big hug Waratah.

Good luck everyone and happy fasting

Ooh, that does sound interesting. Can't wait to hear the verdict.
I'm in today. Would normally do Wednesday but I had a heavy duty rehearsal last night that required stamina and concentration which I thought would be be better after a good dinner.
