Good luck with the operation @Motherof2

Thank you WestLondonChick. I haven't got a clue how this tagging thing works.

I am cautiously poking my head in here today. I did a fast yesterday and toying with the idea of another day today as I am only home these 2 days. But its only 10.30am and I am really starvin. Might change it to a 16:8 for both today and tomorrow. Would that work? 1 fast day and 2 x 16:8 days? With the splurge weekends either end if the week?

Hi all, I'm in today and it looks like I'm in very good company. Off for a day at Port Aventura tomorrow and really looking forward to it. I'm doing a nice picnic to take but will no doubt have some junk. Imagine how many cals I'll burn walking around the park for 10 hours . I also had a bit of a binge last night (must have been the moon). I now count everything on MFP and was very pleased to have only had just over 2000 cals for the day, I could have easily had that in an hour in the past and would still have wanted more. Good luck with the op Motherof2 I wish you a speedy recovery
Has anyone seen my fasting buddy pinchy lately? I think she may have gone AWOL again . @pinchypops WHERE ARE YOOOUUUU??!!! Come back. This time next year you'll be happy you did. Today is yesterdays tomorrow and all that, the time is now get on board I've saved you a seat.
Good luck with todays fast everyone, let it be an easy one

I am still here. I have just had a fast day lunch. I am finding this second fastday really tough though. Im FLIPPIN STARVIN!

@Pinchypops, do come back. If you have fallen off the rails a bit you can get right back on again. Hope you are ok and you haven't had life throw you a curve ball.

@Sue.Q I nearly wrecked my "low carbonation"
Went a bit crazy with the energetic chores, stuffed a liump of rench stck down me, then afterwards added up the carb content, 18. So as long as I don't blow it after class tonight I may just make 32 for my first attempt. At least tomorrow I can fill up a bit more on protein. Should have had a bowl of salad, but I was in a hurry!!!!

Pffff, this fast day will never end! I've been in the garden for a couple of hours and this fresh air, mowing and whatnot has made me HUNGRY! It was bad enough from start this morning.
I got so desperate I bought Mosley's & Mimi's 5:2 book, I've planned to read it a while, just to stay motivated. It helped a bit, but you can't say Kindle books are tasty...

Wow lots of us fasting today instead of tomorrow. I am in today as tomorrow we fly to Majorca for a week.

I've not eaten yet, I will be having homemade beef burger and bun with salad, same meal as the family. It will make todays cals come in at 685, will soon burn the extra off tomorrow so not worrying about it, just going to enjoy

@Justdee, have you already eaten? This link to diet friendly burger recepies might help you stay under the 500cals.http://www.hungry-girl.com/biteout/show/best-of-burger-recipes That site is great for recepies!

Thank goodness I'm just about at the end of my 2nd consecutive day of fasting. Im flippin starvin all day. Hope I dont have to do the 2 days together again for a loooooooong time. But, its done *patting myself on the back*

This is my first fasting day! I'm obviously a newbie. I made it until 12:30 and then had a small cowl of cold cereal and milk. Planning a protein and salad for dinner. I have to admit, I'm hungry. Is that normal until you get used to fasting?

Betsy

Thanks for the link @scubachick I made them this afternoon and wasn't going to have one. Will try these next time
Dee

Totally normal @BetsyQ it does get easier. I actually failed my first ever fast and just started again the next day. Stick with it, you'll be so pleased with yourself in the morning and feel good too.
