The FastDay Forum

I'm in today. Just up and was going to do tomorrow but think today would be easier as working. Need to increase my water intake today as not been so good with that recently. Still dark here........Autumn is nearly here. Have a good day everyone. X

Its a misty day here and fasting this cold Thursday morning just had a small bowl of plain porridge made with water till dinner tonight. (except water and black coffee) Planning a plain omelette made with one whole and 2 white eggs. Its going to be a busy day at work with lots of on my feet exercise and then a late meeting should be home at about 8 O'clock tonight.

Good luck all

Wine... chocolate... roasted chicken... all things past, today is fast.

I'm in.

Fasting today. But still no movement on the scale. 200g in two weeks. That would okay-ish if I only had a 1kg to lose but I have 40kg to lose. At this rate I'll be celebrating my 100th birthday still trying to lose weight!

@Lady Muck, that is a bummer, I can imagine... Keep up the good work though!

I am in. Its my 3rd week, 6th fast day. Just have had breakfast: a salad of rucola, orange and cottage cheese. Next (and last) meal will be dinner.

Rasa, your signature could be mine too!

Me too today. Just outside Melbourne and it's rainy and grey so I'm in on the sofa reading and dreaming of cooking Malaysian tomorrow!

Hi fellow fasters!

Its that time of the week again! its scary how quickly the end of each week comes these days!

Anyway I'm in. Going to my weekly Zumba class tonight so will have a light lunch around 4pm followed by a mug shot when I get back from the class.

It will be my last week of fasting as I am off to Cyprus on Sunday woo hoo so no doubt will have to get back on 5:2 as soon as I return !

I'm in today. Facing some stiff resistance from my belly and brain today though :-S took a lot of grappling with my steering wheel to avoid McDonald's and now I'm at work, my Graze box has arrived! Might have to play tricks "oh ok brain, I'll do 16:8 today instead ok? So I can start eating at 3, but then I finish work at 4, have to pick up the small boy and get some shopping in so I'll get home at about 5.30, got some washing and housework to do so about 6.30", and then I'll make a meal of 500 cals and decide that's quite enough for the evening

Here's hoping anyway.....

I'm in! We had a Bake Off trifle challenge last night with two competing trifles (I think mine lost though the ideas were solid, execution perhaps lacking) so a fast day feels appropriate. It's going to be a hot day in London too. Wondering if I can go for a swim after work.

Good luck everyone!

I'm in! I've a feeling it's going to be a tough one as I'm hungry already. Just heading out now to distract myself!

I'm in. I ate a lot yesterday as it was the start of Rosh Hashanah and normally I'd expect to eat a lot over the full two days, but it's my regular fast day today. I'm not massively hungry - no idea if this is because of last night's big dinner or if it's down to the heavy-duty prescription painkillers I've been on since yesterday for a back problem. I feel thirsty more than anything!

I'm in today, well I think I am. Hadn't planned on fasting today so will see how it goes.

Enjoy your fasts

I'm in. Coffee keeping me going so far. Plan to eat all my calories at lunch today so can have vacation lunch with the family. Has worked so far this week.....

Im in today too and feeling hungry already Have discovered chai tea and am hoping this along with lots of water will get me through til my dinner this evening. Head down and get on with my work for distraction!!

Good luck fellow fasters
