The FastDay Forum

Hello from a chilly NZ down under this morning!
Welcome if you are joining me on a fast today. Could be a struggle to keep warm!
Happy fasting peeps!

Hello from me to you too! Although it is still Wednesday here in London but my 24 Hours Fast has already begun at 7pm for this Thursday. Keep warm in NZ and cool in UK
Happy Fasting Day!

It's supposed to be a glorious (almost) spring day here today. Will take this fast day as it comes as I have 2 'events' on at work today which will have food as a feature. (I do find it easier to say no if it's a fast day though ...). Have a good day everyone.

I am in too - have had a big bowl of vegie soup and a coffee. Back to what I know works for me after Mondays's hideous starving fast where I only just made it! Good luck all...ps beautiful day here too, I have my 3/4 pants on and will be hot by midday. Tomorrow will be 28 for the last day of winter!

Hi fellow fasters. Just having my cup of tea for breakfast, liquids until dinner. Not sure what to cook yet. Hasn't the weather been amazing.

Amazingly wet down here. Sky dark and the wind is up, more rain coming I'd say. I'm in today, feeling head achy already from too much stress at the moment. I'm going to have to be very kind to myself today and find ways to nurture that don't involve food. Interesting challenge.

Yes I'm here today.
Sounds very miserable in Tassy Sallyo- hope you find a way to cope.
Sending hugs.
I'm off for a swim at 9.30, then taking my sister to the airport (back to Melbourne) then off to visit Mum in the Nursing Home.
Stir fry veges with lemon juice and soft goat cheese again for dinner-yum.
Wishing everyone a good day.

Hi everyone,
Gorgeous day in Sydney today! My fasts are done for the week although I won't be 'feasting' as such! Still going to try and be sensible.
Here for support though.
Hope you all have good fasts.

I'm fasting too over here in Perth, feeling quite ok about it today, just having a cuppa in bed before I start the day, dinner will most likely be a vege & eggs meal

I'm here too, enjoying being back in the fasting routine after a surprise 4-day visit from a NZ friend last week that included lots of yummy food, wine and cocktails (anyone ever tried the Toblerone cocktail? YUM!). I only managed one fast day but decided to try 16:8 for five days to limit the damage and it seems to have worked; only a 100 g gain this week - my first since starting 5:2 in March so not a big deal at all.

Hugs to you Sallyo, I'm sure you'll find ways to pamper yourself that don't involve food.

Loving this gorgeous spring weather!

Toblerone cocktail - yum!! Could fancy one right now
Lil

OMG toblerone cocktails are the best!!

I'm struggling, it's my 3rd fast this week so I'm battling with the voices telling me I've already fasted twice so it's ok to eat chocolate cake!!

Try your best Waratah, if it gets too much try 3 fasts next week, 2 fasts by Thursday is pretty good going and you should be pleased with that.

Count me in for today. Busy day at work so should be a good one just planning a few green teas, black coffee and a couple of Boot camps.

Good luck all and happy fasting

Me too, also in today. Third of the week and hopefully last of 4:3. Weekend will tell when I do the measure and weigh and reevaluate. Finding 4:3 easy but it's getting to be a bit of a drag. Nearly ended up with another fast yesterday which would have been two in a row
Had breakfast and lunch options just weren't good for me so decided not to bother. Felt fine and really considered just breezing on, but had toast before visiting a friend and glad I did. Love the flexibility of this WOE.
For a change , it's mushroom lasagne tonight. I took it out the freezer thinking it was tattie scones! Don't want to waste it - I will miss my ritual poached eggs though.
Hope everyone has a good fast .
Loving the updates about the Southern Hemisphere weather.
Still an oven here in the sandpit. Going outside is like being slapped in the face with a very hot wet blanket. Yugh
