The FastDay Forum

Morning everyone!
After a naughty Bean day yesterday (went to the seaside!) I put on 3.5 pounds (horrific I know) and so today I am DEFINITELY fasting
Who's with me?

Hi @nursebean. I am with you in spirit, cheering you on from the sidelines. Today should be a fast day for me, but I am taking a week off. Very busy at work, and even though I don't really get hungry during fast days, I do tend to be a bit tetchy in the afternoons when I am busy! No excuse I know, but I will be back into my routine in a week or two. Will just focus on eating well and keeping away from reaching for snacks when under stress
Happy fasting Tuesday fasters!

Thanks for the cheers Merry @Merrymelb! And enjoy your 2 week break from fasting - but don't go mad now! As I say, I had a day off yesterday and put on 3 and a half pounds

Another message just for support: have postponed my fasting day till tomorrow. End of teaching year drinks this afternoon
Keep up the good work

@merrymelb hope yr week goes ok.wise to postpone fasting when youre under enough stress without adding to it ...eat well and nourishingly! ( if there is such a word) X

Hello all. I am new to this site. I have been doing 16:8 for about a month now seeing no results, I am also a low carber. So I've been doing research and came across the 5:2 plan which I have begun today. That is I will continue doing the 16:8 on the days that I am not fasting...so today is my first 24 hour fast. It has not been difficult at all. I am actually surprised that I am not trying to eat my arm off...I have 2 1/2 hours left to complete today's fast, and then I will fast again on Thursday. Glad to be here, hope to get to know many of you. Any suggestions will be well accepted.

Thanks for the support in here! Can't believe Candy and I were the only two fasting yesterday! It used to be heaving on here
Anyway, I had a great day and only used 470 cals in the end. My weight is back on track this morning!!
How you doing Candy?
