The FastDay Forum

I'm in. I normally fast on Thursday, but tomorrow is Thanksgiving here, so I need to fast today. Not totally feeling up to it today, but I'll give it my best shot!

I'm doing my second fast today - did my first on Monday and had 3 small meals, I had breakfast scheduled in this morning but have decided to forgo it as it got after 10am and I stopped feeling hungry. its just after 12pm and normally I am totally champing at the bit for my lunch and I thought that after not having breakfast I would be super starving but i'm not. i've consumed large mugs of hot water and a big glass of fizzy water and that seems to be doing the trick.

I'm off for a lunchtime walk and then i'll have my lunch when I get back - chorizo and bean stew today with some salad, it was lush when I made it so I expect it to be even nicer now its sat for a day or so

good luck today everyone x

I'm in. Just looked at the clock and have 6.5hrs before I can tuck into my tea....

hee hee - try not to clock watch too much - i'm finding the 'its just for a day' mantra gets me by

I'm in! Just having a tesco light choice soup in a mug at the moment, and weight watchers chilli beef and wedges for dinner tonight - with lots of water inbetween

I'm in. Must go out and do some gardening while it is still light instead of spending time on the forum!

Ok, will join you today. Need support, because I will be cooking ahead of tomorrow's big Thanksgiving holiday.

This is my second fast day since I started. I was initially going to do 6:1, but met up with a friend yesterday evening and both agreed to do 5:2, with my second fast today. I woke up hungry though so I'm curious to see how that goes. I have my 2 meals planned out, I need to fill up on liquids and distract myself - and as long as I can get to 1pm, then the rest will be plain sailing (fingers crossed)

As for tips on ow to manage hunger pangs, I'm going to need this today so I've decided im going to put some music on and dance, move or simply sing along ... I love prancing around and thankfully I'm working from home so I can do that

Good luck to the rest of the fasters

I'm in today! Normally a Thursday faster, but had to switch it up for Thanksgiving. I'm not cooking, so that should be ok. But I am off work and meeting up with a friend for lunch so not sure how that will go. I think if I order sensibly and don't snack the rest of the afternoon I should be ok. My issue lately has been snacking on nonfast days. I need to only eat when hungry! Work stress just gets me munching!
Good luck to all! Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans! Hope you have a great day, and savor all that delicious food without worrying about diets!

Count me in, my usual Wednesday 2nd fast of the week managed Monday and I only have 2hours to wait till dinnertime. I hope all fellow fasters have a good day.

Hiiii all Wednesday Wizards!
I am fasting and repairing today instead of my usual Thursday
Looking forward to waking tomorrow with a pleasant feeling of, ohhh i fasted yesterday!
I am also looking forward to eating a fruit and oats bagel to break my fast tomorrow..yummers!

Hope you are all doing well today and congrats to any Aussies who will have completd their day now i think!

I didn't get time to join in with this thread this morning. It's been a good day but my stomach rumbled a bit. It's almost dinner time, just had a piece of toast. Quorn spag boll sauce and broccoli later x

Hello folks! Newbie here, today was my first fast and I have to say I found it rather easy! Not sure if I'll find it as easy on Friday when I do my second fast but yea there you go! Hoping this whole thing works!!

I think I have had about 700kcal which is WAY over my usual fasting 450..
Still I have had back pain and needed to take meds plus felt a bit run down.
Will try to be sensible next two days, tomorrow is my weigh in so hopefully something a little bit lighter to put on the progess tracker!!

I have been fasting all day and have just enjoyed my dinner at 6 pm...

I have decided after this weekend, I will do only 16:8 for all December... so last fasting day will be this Friday.. and then again after New year ..
