Just me here? Staving off the hunger with tea and water. Did HIT this morning so will be interesting to see if my hunger eats away at me.

I shall be joining you when I wake up on Tuesday (in about 8 hours). I usually fast on Monday, but today was a holiday in the US and I had the family home with me

I've got a lovely veggie soup for dinner - leftovers from Sunday night. So I don't have to cook on fast day. It's even low calorie enough that we can have a wheat roll and an ounce of goat cheese with our dinner.

So nothing but zero calorie drinks until 6pm. It might be a wee bit harder than usual because we've got this nasty polar vortex bringing the temps down to about 0F, and with the wind it's even colder than that. So I may need the chicken bouillon/broth cure!

yes, I'm in! feeling quite hungry today, but I always feel that's a good thing, means my insulin & glucose levels are down. Just had a cup of bonox (=bovril for UK). But just about to have a bike ride, that'll hit the hunger, at least till dinner time!

happy repairing everyone!

Yep, I'm in today for the second of three.
Water and black coffee til tea time.
HIIT sabotaged this morning. I'm trying to do it first thing on fast days.
Beloved got in from work at 4am and it's just not fair to fight with madmax (it's messy and noisy) while he's doing his sleeping beauty impression.
WIll try and do it after work. Really don't like that idea - it just seems wrong!
Have a good fast everyone

I'm in today, from a cold, foggy South East England. Probably a day for chores and some cooking after I do my low intensity 30 mins on the Cross Trainer. Liquids only till the last of my Fast day meals from the freezer - a sort of ratatouile(?) which is going to become a quorn bolognaise.

@janeg I love your relationship with madmax

Good luck everyone

@SianS 'tis a love hate relationship- madmax does all the lovin' I do all the hating...

Hello troops!! Surprisingly haven't felt hungry after early morning exercise which is good. I am trying for a liquid fast today to try and get back in the groove!

I'm in today too. Have just gone round in circles since Christmas so determined to be really careful. Going to start HIT after work as well.

Morning all!
I am in although gotta say I am not enthusiastic!!
Throat killing and it's dark and cold!
Have finally tidied up the Christmas chocolates, they are safely stashed in a cupboard and not on the sideboard looking at me!
Good luck all xxx

Good luck spanner, I don't envy you in the cold and dark. Rug up and drink lots of honey and lemon!

I'm in, and quite disheartened. I live with one of my best friends and I got in after a successful day of fasting and a good session at the gym last night. I was looking forward to my weight watchers meal and walked in, and my friend said "I stopped at the chippy and got us some dinner to because it's my birthday tomorrow!" I felt like I couldn't say no because she'd already bought it on her way home. I know I sound like a spoilt brat and it was a lovely gesture, and I enjoyed the food. BUT the day had gone so well and now I have to do it all again today Oh well. I'd purposely planned my fasts around her celebrations aswell! Urghhh.

So long story short, I'm in

Well done, and never mind. Tomorrow is another day Scarlett!!! I capitulated in the face of fish and chips a couple of weeks ago too!
Today I am so busy fluffing around on here I shall get through without eating!!

hi all
I am in today as well, going ok so far, drinking water to keep the pangs at bay..

I have decided that if I see a number I like tomorrow then I will start 6.1, its a big if and I may not go through with it as I am so used to fasting twice weekly... we'll see...and then again, I may not be able to face the scales in the morning...grrrr...I am a wuss!

Morning all !!!

Was supposed to fast yesterday but went for a 19:5 instead. I am in today instead with a creamy broccoli and cauliflower soup with a touch of comté waiting for me later. Really looking forward to it, may become a regular choice

Hi everybody
I'm in today (5th fast day ever) and had to deal with a("minor") "family crisis" this morning. Without going into détails, the stress of the situation took all thoughts of food away but now the intial emotion is over I feel exhausted and ravenous. I'm determined not to let these issues get the better of my fast-day so I'm hanging in. If it were a non-fast day I know I'd be emptying the fridge by now.
Wish me luck
