The FastDay Forum

I'm in....................anybody else here?

Me too!!! today is actually my first day, going well so far. Ive had about 230 cals so far and saving the rest for tonight

I'm in Sian and doing good considering I was out drinking last night lol. Today is 'repair day'
Just a coffee for me so far, I'll eat at 8pm tonight.

Good luck.

Wow Jayegirl! Way to go!
I'm in today! It's the first fast in a month or so due to life--vacay etc. I've been kind of 16:8ing to support my husband. He may or may not be able to really do it--he seems to require more frequent food intake--but sort of is better than not at all. So, I'll support him, but I'll do it my way (5:2).
So, I had about 100 calories this morning between 1 T of oatmeal, some pistachios, strawberries, nonfat greek yogurt and black coffee. For lunch, I think I'm going to whip up some broth-based vegetable soup with mushrooms standing in for meat (about 50-75 calories) and a cracker (30 cal.) Then, this evening, we will have salad and salmon with sweet potatoes (for my hubby.) I think I can get in at about 500 total for the day.
And, once more into the breach.

Well done everyone. I may need a Friday fast this week. Been a bit carb heavy
And a special mention for our newbie @Chocolate bunny

I'm in today as usual. Hey @Chocolate bunny, post in the Introduce yourself thread, tell us more about you and your situation; we're a friendly bunch and love to support newbies!

Good to see I wasn't alone today
I had some Veggie soup and an Oopsie roll at about 2pm. Dinner was a small portion of a chicken casserole I had made for the family with a big pile of runner beans from the garden. I'm not quite sure how many calories the dinner was as I didn't weigh my portion, but I feel satisfyingly full.
Food tomorrow before a blood donor session.
@JayeGirl you are obviously made of very stern stuff to go all day till 8pm, after a night out.

Oh, I hope all went well for you fasters. First Thursday I have missed in a loooooooooooonnnnnng time as visiting my Mum.
Saturday fast for me, then my usual Monday.

Hi everyone,
I fasted today. After a long time of not so mindful window eating, I am back on 5:2 because I need to shake off the 2lb that I am over target, so that I can fulfil Penny's summer challenge pledge of ending the summer at target. For the 2nd time this week I have found it easy. Chamomile and spearmint tea all day then for dinner we had pan fried fish with a leek, mushroom and spinach concoction. It was yummy and was so low in calories that I was able to have some full fat Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Very pleased that I have been able to get back into the 5:2 rhythm so easily.
