The FastDay Forum

I'm late but where is everyone else??? Just packed away the food shopping and only ate one grape!!
Happy Birthday today to Elvis, we have an Elvis festival every year out west in a town called Parkes, we even have a train especially to take the Elvis out there from Sydney.
Anyway enough trivia, happy fasting

I'm in. Is there another fasting today thread?

Im in today. Second of three this week . Good luck fasters

Hi everyone,i'm in..clippety clop,lickety split!...but why does the second fast of the week seem harder?
Nice to see you @philxjr and an impressive 4:3 this week! Woohoo! x
Good luck all for a Thrilling Thursday !

I'm in today but nursing a bit of a dodgy tummy/headache after a somewhat questionable meal out last night... Makes fasting a bit easier, in a way, I suppose. Hopefully I'll feel well enough later to make a tummy soothing soup...

I'm in today, my first fast since deciding to get back on the 5:2 bandwagon after a 6 month break! I'm being soft and just doing one this week, to remind myself how it feels, then it'll be full 5:2 from next week... Nervous about how the day is going to go, but all my food is prepared so fingers crossed for a good one

I'm in today, first one of the year after a cold last week. Doing dry january as well, so hoping for some progress this month Good luck to all

I'm in today, final fast of my first week back on the 5:2
I'm only starting work at one, so I'm enjoying my morning cuppa then going to prepare turkey and lots of veg to take to work for my dinner. Looking forward to stepping on the scales tomorrow, although it is that time of the month so not raising my hopes too much.
Have a great day everyone

A bit late, but I'm in.
Second fast ever. Monday went well, so I am feeling confident about today, although I am already feeling a bit hungry. Still I have my Miso soup with me and am going to try to make it until3pm on water only.
Good luck all.

I am fasting today as well. Finding it really hard. Just having weak tea and water until 3pm. It is an hour earlier here than there, so the time is only 12:30. I am maintaining. Finding Christmas Chocolates a bit hard... get into a habit of having them... A bit like what Carorees said on an other thread. I am only maintenance fasting between Christmas and Lent. So I try to be more relaxed now about what I eat. My weight is steady. Sigh. Just have to survive this fast till Tea Time.

Oh dear! I didn't realise it was Thursday until half way through the afternoon! I would have fasted. It's the first time I've actually forgotten to fast! In 20 months of fasting! I have the grand daughter staying and it's been a bit of a stressful few days. I'm going to take her home to her mother tomorrow and fast on Saturday. It'll be my first Saturday fast. May the Fast be with you all.

Thats good going @sallyo! 20 solid months of Mon/ Thurs fasting! X well done.

I'm in today. Second fast of the week. Still within my 'maintenance buffer' but I would like to get a little more weight off so that I am below, rather than above, my target weight. Four mugs of black, decaff tea, so far and just about to go our for a walk while the sun is shining. Got to keep busy!
Oops, @Sallyo, grandchildren can do that to you!
Good luck all! Onwards and downwards!

I woke up intending to fast, but have decided to give myself a break and fast tomorrow. I have a cold and it is bitterly cold out, so I just don't feel up to it today. I intend to eat nourishing foods today and fast tomorrow. So nice to have flexibility with this way of eating.

I'm in today as well my second of the week. I'm eating my low cal veggie soup for lunch. It may seem an odd thing to do on a Fast day but I've been sorting out all the recipes I have copied, printed or torn out of magazines, and filing them.
Tonight will be a repeat of the Cod & Prawn Gratin from Tuesday, my version of a Hairy Dieters recipe that even OH liked enough to have twice in a week!
In addition to Fasting I have gone low carb and no alcohol since Monday and have lost 2lbs so far, water weight I'm sure but better than nothing.
Good Luck to everyone
