The FastDay Forum

2nd fast this week after 3 weeks off ( holiday for 2 and a 1wk to get bck into routine after holiday) finding the fast easy today.. Monday was hard!

Good luck everyone

I haven't logged on for ages (surprised and impressed with the new website layout). I'm still on a plateau but, miracle of miracles, lost a tiny bit this week and hope that tomorrow's weigh-in will confirm that. Good luck to you all with today's fast

Hi @chinchin to thank someone you just click on the thumb to the top right of the post x

Not sure about measuring pics..sometimes i try to put up a pic and get a message saying it's too big..i don't know how you fix this tho

Hi @candacemarie If you use photobucket there is an editing option to resize photos. I resized my photo to 940 x 705. The size I came down from was too big for the forum, 1040 x 750. Most photo storage sites have size editing. Hope that is helpful.

Well logging in was a challenge but here I am fasting for the second time this week!
Miserable here and I am trying to distract myself with peppermint tea and rainy dog walks!
Have a good one peeps x

Hi @spanner, hope the day gets better for you. Just think of the benefits! Says me, sitting at my laptop at 11:44pm thinking about breakfast. I made it, second fast for the week. So no, I will not wait till 12:01am and have breakfast.

Thank you very much @CandiceMarie - very kind of you to comment!

Sorry I fill the entire square! I am a total technophobe & have no idea how I ended up managing to get an avatar onto my profile....but once it was on, I saw it was really rather large! Don't have a clue how to reduce it down though....so you are all stuck with it for now I'm afraid.....

Crikey, the liquid fast amazed me! To think I used to think that hunger would gnaw at me all day, ramping up & up as it went, until it became unbearable. So not true! Might throw another in sometime if a fast day is going particularly well........

Hope all is well with you and many thanks for your kind encouragement xx

On my 2nd fast this week (even though I am at my maintaining weight of 8 1/2 stones) since it was my birthday yesterday so had a meal out with wine and large sundae. Next week kids are off school so won't be able to do my 1 day next week so thought I see if I could lose this week to allow for gain next week.

I'm in today. Mostly been doing 16:8 but I can eat quite a lot in that short time so although I'm trying to maintain I need at least one good fast per week to do that. Monday ended up being a bust so trying to stick with today as scales were not kind this morning

That's me done! Curry and pretend noodles for dinner and my obligatory sugar free jelly!

Wow that was the easiest fast day yet. 2eggs scrambled for breakfast then just water and coffee til dinner this eve. Then an omelette and salad. I don't know why but it's been the easiest day yet. Not really felt hungry all day. Weigh day tomorrow so fingers crossed. Hope the rest of have done ok today.

I am pleased that is over, and dinner never tasted so good!

Hi everyone,

I'm back after not fasting for awhile. I had lost 10 pounds with the 5:2 fast, went off and gained it back. Ugh!!

Today is the first day back. I pray that I stay on track. So far so good. My goal is to do this every week and keep on until I reach my goal weight. It's good to be in control again.

I'm in. Have been so busy that I've not been able to post. My third fast of the week and it has been easy, even with sticking to the 500 cal limit. Visiting my parents this weekend so hoping to still keep to ADF.

After an easy start i have struggled since about 3pm iv'e done it though just had some berries and water so i'm full again My daughter came home with a take away and sat and ate it in front of me if you could put weight on from sniffing up i'd be 10 stone heavier

Yay just about to go to bed and I've made it. Cheese omelette and salad and a few strawberries with a little bit of double cream. Good luck to all those who are still on their fast.
