The FastDay Forum

I'm in for my normal Wednesday fast today! Bought myself a little selection box of new fruit/herbal teas which will see me through.

Fasted last Saturday and just didn't feel hungry at dinnertime so went without, making it a liquid fast day...... May do the same tonight, we'll see how I'm feeling.

count me in, my usual Wed fast also did Monday. I have been doing 5/2 for 6 months and have been maintaining for about a month now. I still have to do my two fast days as I obviously eat too much on the other 5days. I am quite happy with this as it is nice to be able to relax about food. Hope you all have a good day.

Probably I usually do Mon/Thur but have a slightly dodgy stomach today so thought I would use it to my advantage, but it depends on how quickly it improves.

My second fast of the week.
I keep losing 2lbs and then putting it back on! I'm not over-indulging on my non-fast days (I track my calories everyday) but I'm struggling at the moment. That said, I'm determined to shift some more weight. It's my birthday in 14 weeks and I'm planning on being a stone lighter by then.

I'm in today too for my usual Wednesday fast. I've been on a plateau for a few weeks and I'm hoping that doing two full liquid fasts this week will break it. I know I feel the hunger today like I haven't since I started so hoping that's a good sign. Have also just put my back out doing...nothing :/ Feelinga bit sorry for myself and craving chocolate but I guess that realistically chocolate won't cure my back lol Unless anyone on here know differently??? Huh?? Will it? hahaha x

I am fasting today as well, made the HUGE mistake of watching Great British Bake off this morning.....not good, I so feel like baking now!

I'm here too! Today instead of tomorrow as going to a comedy club tomorrow night. I usually do my food shopping on a Wednesday though - that was fun! Why??? did I do that? Might do semi-fast till tea-time on Friday too, as away then for the weekend for hubby's birthday. Mmm. Think I may regret it next week!

And no JanetM, I don't think chocolate will help your backache!

I'm in too fellow fasters! I'll have nothing until dinner, and a small dinner at that... part of my routine.

everyone!

I'm in too. Its going well. A little rumble now and again but nothing that bothers me.

Something weird about the fasting today thread. As I was second on it this morning, and I commented on the fact there were no Southern Hemispheres, and now my post has gone!! Anyway, second fast for me this week, might pop a half one in on Friday just to see if I can at last get to 12 stone something.

I agree with you Carrie, strangely quiet, I do hope Australia and New Zealand are still there!

I'm in that awful dead point in the day where my prawn salad is ready and waiting, but my family are not expecting to sit down to their lamb curry for at least 15 mins..... so I'm pacing about to get my steps up for the day and clock watching

First fast day of the week for me.

(I tend to do Wednesday and Saturday - but am flexible)

I had porridge this morning
A couple of cucumber sticks for lunch!
A very tasty sort-of-cottage-pie thing with a decent portion of veg for dinner.

That's my lot!
Some water to sip until 10pm when it will be bed time!

Off out for lunch tomorrow which somehow helps on a fast day....it is always good to know that I am only restricting myself today....I can have the treats tomorrow - if I still want them!

I was in today but I succumbed to a pumpkin doughnut. Don't know the cal count but will have salmon and salad for dinner and hope for the best.

Probably has turned into made it. On my way to bed. Eating normally tomorrow is going to seem a bit weird as it is usually my fast day!
