The FastDay Forum

Good morning.
I can hardly believe I am writing that date as it means today is 6 months since I started 5:2.
I'm so glad I did!
I'm fasting today instead of my usual Thursday as I'm out tomorrow night.
Planning to shop today and get some pants that don't look like I'm auditioning for a role as a clown.
Have a good fast everyone( I know there aren't ever many fasters on Wednesday, just an elite group)

Have a great day gigi, weather is gorgeous again!
I am fasting again tomorrow (Mon and Thurs are my favourite days to fast).
But I am also trying to keep calories low so I don't have to worry at the weekend. I think I'll treat myself to a glass of wine tonight though

Good morning Gigi! I'm here with you as I'm going away for the weekend tomorrow (my usual fast day). Have just done my weekly weigh-in and am chuffed to see another kilo gone! I too started on 5:2 six months ago, just a few days later than you, and am so happy I did! Never would I have dared hope to be so close to my goal in just six months, and with absolutely no feelings of deprivation. 5:2 rocks! Have fun shopping on this glorious (hopefully up there in Sydney too) spring day!

Welcome to the forum Lil! I wish you the best of success with 5:2; as you can see, there are plenty of satisfied 'customers' here!

Thanks AiriR, I am also satisfied (although only been going for 7 weeks) I have lost and put most of it back on with overeating but am now calming it down and adjusting to this WOL.
One thing I have worked out is I need breakfast on feast days. I was STARVING yesterday by 10.00AM as had no breakfast and had only taken a salad to work so was hungry all day. Not fun. Today I had breakfast and no tummy rumbles until now (nearly 11.30AM) and have prepared a more substantial salad.
Happy fasting everyone.

I'm in. It will be my 2nd post-holiday fast.

Hi
Me too. Adding another fast day this week to make it 4:3 as off on holiday soon.
Will be back to 5:2 after hol as I didn't realise how much tougher one extra fast day makes the week.
Breaky I don't eat on fast days, lunch I will have black coffee, usually get to 4pm and start to flag so maybe apple slices 40 cals.
Tea- I'm seeing a friend tonight, popping in when i get back from work so might just be a yog or soup when I get home as it will probably be about 9 ish.
That's my plan anyways. Hope you all have a good fast (and a smooth one)

I'm also in today, but have a bring and share lunch so will see if I can eat my cals at lunch instead of dinner. I'm trying to be positive and think that I may need to have something else later as have aerobics class, so if I do it'll be 16.8 for me instead.

My second fast since falling off the wagon I am fasting mon, weds and fri and doing around 600 cals

I have an interview today, I currently am a temporary worker there through an agency but perm jobs are available so fingers crossed!

Good morning.

How much have you lost in 6 months? Hope you don't mind me being nosey I can't see stats on the mobile site!

Ignore that....
I can see your stats well done!

Good Luck with your interview and your Fast Claire

And good luck to other Wednesday Fasters

Good morning everyone. Happy halfaversary gigi55! Good luck with the interview Claire23.

I am in today, but as Jewish New Year begins this evening, I might have slightly more than 500 cals, but maybe I'll manage - my mother's honey cake can wait until tomorrow! L'shanah tovah to anyone else celebrating - the traditional greeting of 'happy new year and wishing you well over the fast' seems very different this year! Wishing everyone a year ahead full of happiness and health.

I'm here too, doing ok, had a coffee with soy milk for lunch & will have an egg & vege stir fry for dinner. Hang in there all!

Happy new year doodle!!!

I'm in as part of the Wednesday elite and Sian I won't be drinking either.
