The FastDay Forum

Hi everyone. Well, if there's anyone else fasting today!Obviously not many Aussies or NZers
I'm usually a Mon/Thurs faster but found out at 10am my book club ladies want to meet for dinner tomorrow night.
Luckily I hadn't eaten any breakfast so here I am.
Loving the flexibility of 5:2!
Herb tea and a coffee so far, I'll have an early dinner of veges and fruit at 6pm, followed by a lovely "no Sugar" hot chocolate made on sugarless almond milk- I look forward to this fast day treat.
Have a good fast day.

I'm here. I've been out in the garden, pruning the roses this morning. Then I came in and had a nana nap this afternoon. At least I wasn't hungry while I was asleep!

Enjoy the day! I discovered almond milk too when I was looking for a lower calorie milk. It's an excellent one to use on restricted calories days. I find this diet gets easier the longer you are on it - almost a year now for me!

I'm in; first fast day of the week for me as back from camping holiday yesterday. Hadn't put on much weight at all despite eating lots of food for 5 days including fish and chips, steak, bread, also ice cream pretty much daily.

Conveniently I don't even have any food in the house so fasting today should be straightforward; should also have a busy day at work catching up.

Good luck & have a good day!

I'm in today... trying to do a 4:3 this week, so I'll be skipping breakfast, lunch and having a very light dinner tonight! everyone !

I'm in as usual on a Wednesday! Good luck everyone

Waving hola from Spain manic day for me, I'm catering for clients down on the coast a full Andalucian feast , but I'll be fasting I'll have a light salad before I go to get me through !
Good luck everyone , has just become a way of life for me it's the other people around me that find it hard, maybe because it makes them think and look at what they're shoveling in their mouths x

I'm here as well for the normal Wednesday routine. Mug of gruel, as OH calls it and a yoghurt then 400 cals tonight. Haven't found a substitute for the gruel as its too hot here for it. Good luck everybody.

Good morning everyone I'm in today too. Off to meet friends for a drink and chat this morning so should be fun.
I have other friends fasting for Ramadan at the moment. Not sure I could fast with no food or drink either in this weather? Not going to try without water in this heat though.

Good morning everyone! I'm in today too, yesterday I ate some more and felt better, today will be that day again but I got enough distractions on my mind. Have made a few appointments with friends, so at least I'll be enjoying the nice weather today.

I'm in. 1 hour left till dinner - thank goodness! Has been a hard day today because its soooooo cold! But stood on scales this morning and got a new low! Lowest I've been in over 20 years so very excited.... 2nd fast for the week so really looking forward to the rest of it!

Me too Today is weigh day and the end of my first week, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the scales say this evening.

I've done 4:3 this week, was going to just do 5:2 but today happens to be a convenient day for me to fast so I thought I'd slip an extra one in!

Good luck to all

...that's a good idea SuzjJ. I can fast up until a late dinner time tomorrow night from now. It's evening here and I've had a yummy vege dinner. So, I'll fast during brekky and lunch, then I could do another fast from Friday night to Saturday night which is to be dinner out in the social whirl. This could work well...

I usually do Monday and Thursday but can't do tomorrow. Prefer 2 days between fasts so hope it isn't too difficult today!

I also usually do mon & thurs but meeting friends for drinks tomorrow so in today, should be ok
