The FastDay Forum

Wow already half way through January, I'd need to get out of holiday mode. The fasting is going well but the other days
Happy Fasting today my fellow fasting friends.

So I'm the only lonely soul fasting so far today. Well I will soldier on alone then

Ah poor old wino!!!!
I am not fasting but all I have had so far is a small cheese and salad roll so it almost counts! Gazpacho soup for dinner as it is so hot, so it will be a mini fast. Yours in fasting solidarity,
Debs!!

I'm with you wino, but you'll be we'll through the day now! Really really sweet toothed last night. Marzipan got it (the excess from the Christmas cake) made gooey peanut butter and oatmeal bars with condensed milk, and managed to scrape the bowls and eat two of the blighters. They aren't even that good.
So , fasting today, like it's the first ones. Second of the week although Sunday's was over 500 cals, don't know by how much.
Wonder who else will join us
Oh, and it's an overcast 15C here lovin it!

Not me. I fasted yesterday. New lowest weight today though so I'm feeling very chipper. Hang in there, Wineo

Hello
I'm fasting today too. Starting fresh after a few days of over- feasting.
Fast days are ok, but I expreience great dificulties in non- fast days. I've read Dr Varady's book, and I understand that the 'overeating on non- fast days'usually gets solved over time as our bodies adapt.
Hope this is true...
Sending you all good energy - and have easy fast today and whenever yo fast

Yay I'm not lonely anymore hi Annah from Israel, aren't we a multicultural bunch here.
Doing well today, changed days because Hubby had to fast for a test this afternoon. I've just dropped him at the hospital and I'm hoping it's not too late a pickup.
Going to go water my veggies now as they are quite wilted in this heat.

Hi - I'm fasting today as well. Like Janeg seemed to want to eat everything ridiculous yesterday. Need to settle down and lose the 4lbs! put on over Christmas!

Hi I'm in today and trying to get back into the habit of 5:2 after December! I did really well last year until about October and then everything went 'pear shaped'! I have been up and down over 7lbs since then and try as I can it doesn't seem to shift, so I'm starting this new year with (hopefully) the same resolve as last year.

Hi, I'm in, have my large bottle of sparkling water on the desk.

There was something on BBC breakfast this morning about 5:2 and 4:3, will see if I can find details later; one of the presenters said that he couldn't do 5:2 as it made him too grumpy.

Good Luck to all.

Have fasted today, and about to go to bed. 466 cals and 48 g carbs so very pleased with myself.
Sympathise wineoclock, being so far ahead of our northern hemisphere friends can sometimes seem a little lonely

There's also an African fasting today.

Am in too!

good luck everyone

Joining you on fasting today too! Me & my bf both fast on a Tuesday & Thursday - struggling today on our third fast though. I'm sending him lots of supportive texts from work, but struggling too. I just feel abit grumpy today due to a situation at work & it makes me want to 'treat' myself rather than fast...does show me how much I see food as a reward!

Good luck to everyone else fasting today

I am in today too, zig zagging away at the moment with the weight!
