The FastDay Forum

I'm in today too, for my second last fast before Christmas; planning to do the last one on Monday. Have a Christmas lunch with a friend tomorrow and a barbecue Saturday so will no doubt be very motivated!

Lovely to hear about everyone's plans; I just intend to ENJOY and no guilt allowed!

I'll be in when it's Thursday. I'm toying with the idea of having a no calorie day. Or rather an under 50 calorie - so there can be milk in my coffee and a bit of juice in my fizzy water. Not sure if I can pull it off. If I'm too hungry to fall asleep tomorrow night it won't be worth it. Or if I get a headache.

This would be the first, and hopefully, last time to do such a thing. But I'm so anxious to give myself this great Christmas present of being all done (stick a fork in me - great imagery from @MaryAnn). And of course to add to the green listings in the Christmas Club.

Any sage advice (oooh, that made me think of sage stuffing )?

Good luck, @wendyjane

Fasting today. My first time with only one day between fasts.

People are eating in the office (lunch time) and it's making me feel soooooooo hungry.

Count me in! I'm starting my day with lemon in hot water

It's a bit quiet in here today, but I'm in too!
Well, I'll give it a go, but have a bit of a hangover. Idiot!
Have a good day everyone.

Hi, I'm in, I love the way how easy it is to get back on after a weekend away trying gluhwein, beer and chocolates in Belgium - I fasted on Tuesday, so getting in a second day today.

I'm sticking to my normal routine of coffee with skimmed milk during the day, then may have some soup and raw veg tonight. Good luck to all.

I'm in and fights every urge to put something in my mouth (I'm huuuuungry!!!) with the thought of that pretty dress I might, just might fit into now.

I'm giving it another go today

I had a fail yesterday not because of lack of will power or hunger or pain, but because of friends who were in town whom I'd not seen for a while - we met up for dinner and whilst I didn't have a complete indulgent dinner, nor a glass of wine, I still had more than 500 calories

Hoping today will work out better!!

Good luck to all the fasters today, may your fasts go smoothly

I am fasting today, been a bit busy to post earlier! All I have had so far is an apple. Gone 24hrs since my meal last night, apart from the apple that is, and not noticed it really.

I made it with just my morning cuppa and fruit tea till 4.00, then dear hub came home and warmed up a couple of little mince pies. It'd be rude to refuse...
Roast chicken for tea soon, so not too bad I guess.

I've had 80g of cold salmon with a tomato and some 'cumber for lunch and then a turkey and veg 'curry' with miracle noodles. I leave some room for a flat bread and Cathedral city selection before bed. 540 cals.

One bulletproof coffee for breakfast. Prawn tagine with miracle noodles for lunch. Kitchen has been closed since 2pm. 446 calories.

I'm in for today. Just had some lovely 50 calorie leek/mushroom soup for lunch, baked fish & steamed veggies for dinner. Will do one more fast Monday before the holiday, and I really hope to show a loss on Jan 3, 14...haven't lost anything since my first weigh in two weeks ago. Is there anyone this hasn't worked for? I know, there are ups &downs, I'm just afraid it won't work for me because nothing ever has & I really like how I feel on this plan. Time will tell. I hope a year from now I can look back at this post & smile at my silliness....& be off meds & down weight....

Very late posting up! Last fast day of 2014 for me and it has been hard! Christmas chocs everywhere! Was going to do Monday 23rd but work are having a lunch buffet and hubby finishes work for the festivities and has already invited people for drinks and nibbles.
Weigh in tomorrow for the Xmas club but not convinced I will make my target due to a large amount of sausage rolls on feast days!! Still will focus on the fact that this 5:2 malarkey has changed my life roll on 2014 and the repair days! I am enjoying Christmas guilt free!
