The FastDay Forum

I fasted Tuesday, I'm fasting today and then I'll have my final fast for 2013 on Saturday.

Who else is in today?

Looking forward to this week ending - off work for a couple of weeks for some lovely beach time with family, then a few days hiking and then some time kicking back around home. First fast back will be 4 January. First weigh in will be 1 January and the plan is that whatever weight the scales show on that date will be my maintenance weight for 2014.

Have a great day fellow fasters

Hello Otter and Thursday fasters. I'm in. Sister has arrived so it feels a bit odd to fast but I'm sure I'll manage it. Thinking salmon and salad for dinner. I hit my Christmas target yesterday so I'm keen not to blow it today!

Hi Fasters. My last fast before Christmas. I'm writing out my grocery list, ouch will need to get back to fasting quickly. Another hot day today so will enjoy the snow here.

I'm on today, yes a hot one, took a while for summer to take hold down here in lower Victoria, a hot day should make fasting a lot easier, but I am busy as well. Will not fast again until a day after Boxing Day that would be a Friday, will be welcome I'm sure.

Happy fasting people.

Yes!

I have had to do Wednesday this week. It seems odd, but the day is nearly done.

I'm in today but tentatively. I've woken up ridiculously hungry and the heat is not helping me. I'm going to do my best but it may turn into a low-cal day instead of a fast day.

I, too, will be fasting today (Thursday). I don't know if Ireally want to weigh myself on the 24th because my stomach feels as though it's rapidly expanding (I've indulged in one or two too many chockies lately). Anyway I am starting to feel a bit more energetic so hopefully I will be able to get back into my yoga plus a back to back fast on Sunday and Monday. Will that get me to my target weight? Hmmm me thinks not, but it'll be fun trying...won't it?!

Oh poo, I'm in.
Too Chritsmassy to fast, but too much in the habit not to. No commitments tomorrow, so do it, Penny!!

Agree. (Not the poo bit ) but last chance really before xmas - wending down to Yorks on Saturday. Just hope it's not cold tomorrow, always feel this worst when fasting

Hi Otter and everyone
I am In today as planned, with Saturday probably the last fast before Xmas. Had a few Xmas treats last night so, combined with the HOT weather, hopefully today's fast won't be too difficult
Am away from Sunday for almost 3 weeks, on the road in a caravan, so not sure how I will go with fasting then - there is something about traveling distances in a car that makes me want to eat. Well, it always did in the past, will be interesting to see if my 8+ months on 5:2 has reduced this "need"!
I won't be weighing myself either, and I have become rather reliant on the scales... I think I will do a couple of fasts before my first weigh in for 2014!
Happy fasting everyone!
NB Otter, agree, you have a good plan for the season and into New Year

I'm in tentatively. I would like to fast or at least do a good solid 16:8, but I feel as if I am coming down with something. So I may be curled on the sofa with hot toddies instead.

Well I had a great fast on Monday. Im in today ( sort of) I had a talk with hubs how we are going to do this- we are both now on 5-6 weeks holidays and are in the holiday party mood. So we decided we will semi fast 3 days a week Ie. just eat our 600 cals for him and I'll have about 3-400 cals ( I'm usually just eating dinner on fast days and not eating till 2 pm on non fast days) then we can still have our wine at night as we overlook the blue mountain valley- ahh the serenity.Not sure what will happen but if I maintain that will be OK- if I lose weight that will be a dream.

It's lunch time at school, on the last day for me and the last day for kids. I'm drinking tea. Feeling ok. Trying to sort out my desk. Quite a good distraction.
