The FastDay Forum

I'm in today, had Indian food for dinner last night, but it wasn't at all greasy
Today I will be good as it's weigh day tomorrow and I need to get back below 12 stone again. It is going to take a couple of weeks to do it and that's ok
@justdee are you here too? xxx

Hi I'm new on these forums and I'm fasting today too. I've been doing 5:2 since March, lost weight for my holiday in June and finding it hard to motivate myself and stick with it since I came back so here goes!

Oh poor you Julianna, you are doing it tough fasting on top of what has happened today, but you should be proud that you haven't reached for the comfort eating and that you something to look forward to on wattle day
There is something intrinsically comforting about getting into your jim jams isn't there? It's a bit like a big self hug.
And a big hug from me too.

@karen250463, welcome to the forum, a great place for support and information. I came back my holidays a couple of weeks ago with an extra 6lbs. Fortunately I got straight back into fasting without too much trouble. I think if I hadn't fasted straight away I'd be struggling now.

Anyway, I'm in today for my usual liquid fast. I'm feeling really happy and positive today. I'm not working today and I've got lots to do. I've just spent the last hour on the forum so I'm off now to get some housework done.

Hi, I'm in today and already on my second coffee of the day. I'm going to say with my normal "works for me" regime of coffee with skimmed milk and sparkling water during the day, and then nothing until evening, which will be cuppa soup, veg and salad.

Welcome @karen250463, hope it goes well today.

Good luck to all

@julianna rather a horrid day for you today, I'm sending a hug up to you. No walk for me with it sunny one moment pouring the next.
Dinner is done but some cals left for strawberries and yoghurt. Keep up the good work everyone.

Just wanted to say, Well Done to the fasters in Australia and to those who are part way through the morning in the UK and about to start the day on the Eastern board of the US.

Yes I'm in again today for my 3 rd fastday this week
Back2back with yesterday? Yes but I failed that one
Sorry you've had a rough day @JuliannaHugs to you
Right behind you @Debs Going for a good one today to make up for Weds which ended up 19:5
could have been worse at least I closed the eating window after the 5 hours,
the scales will tell the result tomorrow.

I have almost finished my dinner, not pleased about that...still hungry. However, I'm telling myself it's all in my head. I will not succumb! <---- dark glasses so I can't see evil food temptation.

Hugs @julianna and welcome @karen250463 x
Have a great day everyone..its passing! ..i' m quite hungry but if @sallyo isnt flinching,neither will i ...

I'm fasting today - not strictly necessary because this morning I am a pound and three-quarters under target - thanks to a bout of tummy trouble (courtesy of my husband who had it on Tuesday!) I think that a liquids only day would be a good idea, just to give my digestive system a chance to sort itself out. Unfortunately, the bug hasn't affected my appetite, so today could be a challenge! Must keep busy!

Good luck to everyone fasting today. Onwards and downwards!

Yes I'm in today @karenm, It's going to be a good one today ready for weigh in tomorrow. I'm doing heavy duty gardening this afternoon, should burn lots of energy, hope it doesn't spoil my weigh in too much, but I know this is working no matter what the scale says. @Sue.Q if I hear you use the F word one more time (fail) we're going to be having words my lovely. It wasn't a fail, you got a bloomin good fast in before having a good eating window, stop being hard on yourself. x

Opposes sorry I forgot shouldn't use the "f" word Dee
You're absolutely right @justdee I postponed yesterday's fast and I'm doing it today.

I didn't flinch all day and well done to all of us who held firm. We had a Japanese soba noodle soup for dinner with prawns and it was very good. I had half a jelly slice which was a little bit bad, but since I hadn't eaten all day, I think it was allowable. Did you see Catalyst, with the question about what happens to the fat you lose? Apparently it turns into CO2 and H20. Astounding.

Well done @Sallyo not flinching..youve got me thinking on those lines too
And,being used to being alone while i fast and now having family staying..i now have soo much respect for all those of you who fast whilst feeding family / watching co workers eat! Its a whole different story!
Can you tell me what Catalyst is? It sounds intriguing re where the fat goes..good job it doesnt fall to the floor and we'd all be slipping and sliding!
