The FastDay Forum

Hi,

Is anyone fasting today?

This is my 2nd week doing 5:2, and my first day fasting this week.

Hi all

I'm not fasting today but thought I'd pop on here to say hi as I fasted yesterday and hoping to do so again tomorrow. I've not done many fasts since before Christmas what with one thing and another but the other week something just clicked and I got back into it again. Perhaps it was because it was the same time as my fastiversary, and it's the start of the summery weather here, so it just felt right.

Thankfully joining the gym in Jan has kept the worst of the flab at bay since I last fasted proper, although doing lots more exercise caused my weight to go up - a combo of more muscle and eating more (being hungrier!). It hasn't affected my size/fit of clothes too much tho, so hopefully combining a fast or 2 a week with my extra exercise will help shave off those extra few pounds that crept on to help me feel even leaner.

Have a good day peeps!

Yes, there's a few of us, for some reason it's on a different board today

Hope it's going well

Hello @greenmonster - nice to hear from you! Glad all is going well for you.

I have just come on here to say, whoop whoop, it is 5.15pm....and I haven't eaten anything yet! I usually split my calories between lunch and dinner...but with one thing and another, I wasn't at home at lunchtime today.....so missed having my soup!

I wouldn't have thought it possible to go most of the day without eating!!! Either physically, or me knowing me! How very interesting...

Can't even say I am hungry at the mo........

Think I will take advantage of this fact & just have half a carton of soup later...as I had a cream tea yesterday! Last week wasn't the best either - was struggling to get back into fasting/controlling my intake of lovely things after a mini-break.

Hope today has gone well for everyone xx

I'm here.... Whiling away some time whilst my tuna is in the oven.. Hope everybody's having a good day..
