The FastDay Forum

Oh poor you loversghost that is no fun when trying to use public transport! I saw the news about the tube strike & of course all the bad weather is adversely affecting the West Country & Wales as well.
I am fasting again today after a semi fast on Monday because I ate cake
I hope you all have a good day & keep safe with this awful weather

I'm in. I had a very sensible "feast" day yesterday, so woke up hungry. Still, I have been so busy this morning its now nearly 12.00 and I haven't had a chance to think about food. Zero noodles for lunch and then poached eggs on toast this evening - yum. Its only one day, I CAN DO IT!

I am definitely in today. Trying to get my Wednesday fasts back on track and stick with a 6:1 routine. My boyfriend is also fasting today which gives me tons more motivation to make it a great fast day - if I fail then he wins, which I can't allow

Me too! I usually do Thursdays, but I'm super budy today, and have a day off tomorrow, so it'll be easier to fast today. About to have a weight-watchers soup, then I have an experimental pickle pick-me-up for later, before dashing off to 2 evening events.

Pickle pick-me-up: one pickled egg, 2 dill pickles, large roast red pepper, good handful of capers, all chopped finely and mixed with some light creme fraiche. Yoghurt or cottage cheese would work too. Around 150 cals.

I am in today for my second fast on 5:2. I am going to try fasting till dinner then eating one meal as on Monday I was starving after having a small lunch. Really hoping that my first week is a good one weight loss wise. Even if it slows down after that its a good motivator to start with.

I'm in but super starving today and struggling. I fasted on Monday and then only ended up eating about 700 kcals yesterday so really, really wanting food now.

OK, thought I knew all the numbers but what is "2/3". Forum search won't look for me because it is too common a term.

@Judithn, I think when they used "2/3", they meant that they were in for their 2nd fast of a 4:3 fast week.

Confusing, huh?!

I'm in today and so far everything is going well. I will NEVER have lunch on a fast day again. Oh no. I like waiting all day and saving my calories til tonight. Today I have an M&S Fuller Longer pulled ham in a mustard sauce with mash, and runner beans. Mmmm can't wait

Oh and if I'm really good, I'm going to have a chocolate mousse...how good is that!

That's me done for fast #2 this week

Big ups to those still at it

Me too!! Feels good to have another one done! And I have like 200 calories left. Just another fast to go this week

I'm in! 2nd fast of the week.

My day went well & I have just eaten a Thai green curry from the M & S Fuller Longer meal & am also a fan plus eating an apple

Am with you all!

2nd fast of the week & am having a go at 4:3 this week for the first time, next one will be on Friday.

As a life-long comfort eater, I am finding the non-fast days a bit too tempting at times. I have plateaued for too many weeks considering I am only at week 10 - so have decided I need the "discipline" of 4:3!!! I love the amazing flexibility of this WOE - we are all only so many hours away from being able to eat what we choose! How great is that???

Good luck seeing the evening out, my fellow fasters! We can do it.....

I've had my dinner, was my second fast this week. Have been doing mon, thurs, so if I choose to do Friday I may complete a 4.3 this week. But it'll probably be a two and a half week again. Wineoclock Friday is calling me.
