The FastDay Forum

Morning all Southern Hemispherers! And Evening to those in the UK and nearby.

I am fasting today! My colleagues are giving me a hard time about it today, as we're having Morning Tea while we hand out KK pressies (Secret Santa to us Brits). Trying to persuade me to not fast just makes me want to fast more! And besides, I think this will be my last fast before Christmas. I have Christmas parties tomorrow and Friday, and then my very best friend in the whole world comes to Melbourne on Friday for 4 days, we haven't seen each other for a year (so obviously cannot fast then!).

AND THEN on Tuesday I board a plane to fly back to the UK for the first time in 2 and a half years! THe combination of loving plane food (weird I know) added to landing on Christmas Day and seeing my gorgeous family who I haven't seen for 2 years means NO MORE FASTING for 2013 I think!

But that's okay because I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!

My dad is doing 5:2 and low carb and has lost a lot of weight, so I'd guess that we'll be back on the bandwagon from 2nd January 2014 as a Father/Daughter team!

Then back to Melbourne on the 17th Jan to see my boy and live happily ever after

So much to look forward to and definitely feeling happier, healthier and more positive about everything thanks to 5:2.

Have a beautiful Christmas everyone and here's to a healthy and happy 2014.

Good luck kelkel and all you Wednesday Winners! X

Feeling excited for you Kel. I've not done a UK Christmas for 8 years....I hope you have an amazing time with your friends and family!
This is also going to be my last fast for 2013 as I have family arriving on Friday for the festive season. Fun times!
Have a great day everyone!

In when I wake up. Also my last proper fast until well after Christmas !

just saying g'day, Wednesday fasters.

I will be joining you when I wake up tomorrow (Wed) morning

I'm in today. Fitting in fasts between Christmas parties. Was not too bad last night (no pud, no wine), but still over my TDEE. Ah well.

I'm in for my second fast this week- I was soooooo naughty yesterday at the Christmas party, chocolate cake (only a wee bit but still) pringles, chocolate fingers =\ I was a bad Sammy! So today will feel good to fast, and since it's still earlish in the week, I may even do another one on Friday Happy fasting all!

G'day! I'm in.Feeling pretty motivated today,watching the scales read a little less each week has made me feel very content and happy. Happy fasting everyone! x

Good Morning, count me in for my second fast of the week. Good Luck everyone!

I am in today as well. I got to my Christmas goal last week then lost it over the weekend. Will fast today and hopefully Friday too. I am watching my calories on the days in between and doing low carb (< 50g/day). Fingers crossed. Good luck, fellow fasters

I'm in too! Hello everyone

I have eaten my advent calendar choccie already, plus a few cuppas, but other than that it's fast fast fast until dinnertime, or tomorrow morning depending on how I feel later

It's morning on the east coast of the US so I'm awake and thinking about my fast today. I usually go to morning yoga and by the time I'm back home, I just have a few hours before my first meal but its been snowing hard here (I think we have over 10 inches), so I'm not motivated to leave my warm bed and face the outside world.

In fact that pretty much sums up how I feel, I don't want to face the world today, so I'm going to be gentle on myself, drink lots of hot tea to help me along my way.

Wish me luck.

Hello Wednesday fasters!

I'm a Thursday faster really but everything up the creek this week...

In the last 2 days I ate TWO Christmas dinners, Monday evening and yesterday lunchtime, plus copious amounts of alcohol ... so I'm doing some mini-fasts. eg yesterday I fasted from dinner the night before until lunchtime, then had v little in the evening, and today I'm doing a modified fast (a 16:8 and then up to 1,000 cals) and tomoz a 'proper' fast day. I hope.

So I'm kind of gatecrashing this thread, soz!

So excited for you, Kel - have a fantastic time and enjoy that lovely plane food

Good luck everyone, hope you can avoid too much temptation!

I'm in! My tummy is rumbling today - not an experience I have felt for ages! Only 3 hours to go until tea time! Good luck everyone
