Brrrr, chilly here too!
Well I blew it, absolutely ravenous by 12 so I have turned it into a 16:8 and had scrambled egg, quorn burger and sausage for lunch, a slim secret cookie for afternoon tea and the spicy chicken, bean and tomato soup for dinner, so not a total disaster.
Sometimes you wake up and just know it ain't your day!

If you click on Carorees name Lil, you'll see her blog link on her details page.

Thanks Debs I managed to figure it out lol. Don't worry about 'blowing it', you didn't, you made the best out of the situation.
I was trying to have a booze free day and my boss just offered me wine.. did I say no? Did I hell!

I'm in- slightly bewildered as I usually do Sunday/Tue/Thurs. Sunday was 16:8 so did Monday and will be out in Thursday night seeing Tom Jones and having a little overnighter so have moved my days around.
On site catering has been poor( two meals out of 14 not pasta and that past has mostly been with a tomato sauce!) so no temptation.
Was feeling very hungry earlier but one black coffee later and it's passed.
Everyone is tootling off for lunch so I may join them for a diet 7UP.
Hope everyone has a good one

I'm in today and looking forward to it. I went to the doctor's yesterday and my doctor was the one who suggested 5:2. I hadn't seen her for a month, she was really pleased with my progress. This reaction has just made me stronger.
Best of luck to everyone today x

Count me in for my 2nd fast of the week. Good Luck everyone!

I'm on my second week and 4th day fasting (not in a row!) and my mind is not in the right place today, I will soldier on and see how it goes xxx

I'm in today, my 8th week of fasting. Hungry already, which is not a good sign. Feels like it's gonna be a loooong day...

I'm in today, back-to-backing (fasted yesterday too). It is going to be a hard one but I am going to be stubborn (and try not to be too grouchy at the same time!). I'm going to look up that cauliflower soup recipe - I have some cauli in the fridge and it is SOOOOOO miserably cold it sounds like just the thing to warm me up!

Good luck everyone - if I can BTB (back to back), you can get through one measly fast today

count me in fast day 55. Hope you all have a good day.

I'm in!

2nd fast of the week for me as well, used to do tue & thurs but found that I do so much exercise on a tue evening that it was just too much on a fast day...so am now Monday & wednesday.I'm a girl guide leader on a wednesday, so I dont find wednesdays too hard, as I keep busy from morning to night. Might be harder if one of the groups decides to do baking at Guides though!

I'm in too. My second one so far this week. Feeling good all round. Good luck to all fasting today.

HELP! Fasting today - only my third fasting day and my stomach is grinding like a good un, my salad for lunch just didn't cut it. Do other people experience this so bad? If so, does it normally pass after a while?
