Looks like I'm first in today.
Good luck everyone, my second day back at work, illness is diminishing and I'm ready to get back on my fasting horse.

I'm in too - after a non fast day that was a bit of a disaster (biscuits, chocolate) but I was fairly disappointed at having done a decent fast day on Monday and staying EXACTLY the same. I blame hormones. So of course I lost any strength of will I may have had yest - 7 chocs, at least 3 biscuits which is quite bad for me. Still, today's another day.

I'm in today. 7.55 and I'm hungry, it's going to be a tough one

I'm in. It's almost dinner time. Tummy is seriously rumbling

I'm in - day 3 of fat fast and 5lb down since Monday!

Swing-by to say it's Wednesday so one of my 4:3 so I'm in for a FD.

Artichoke bottoms, tomato, griddled peppers, mushrooms, aubergine and caper bake for tonight. Maybe take advantage of one of the last Orange Wednesdays (apparently these are being phased out next month).

I'm in for a modified fast today. I'm experimenting this week with 2 500 cal days(Mon/Thurs) and 1 1,000 cal day. The rest of the days will be "normal". We'll see how it works when I weigh in on Friday. Of course, this is my first week back to boot camp sessions, so my muscles will be retaining water as they repair so the scale may not reflect any fat loss correctly. Whatever, I've read enough success stories here to know that I just need to keep going and everything will work out fine!

Good luck all fasters!

In today though I usually do Monday/Thursday so that I can have a special dinner out tomorrow night. Fast days go so much more easily when there's an incentive!! Cherry tomatoes packed for work, shredded beets and goat cheese for dinner. Off we go!

Happy fasting all!

Yup, back on track after a fall of tries.....Have to confess that my stomach cries, but I will persevere. Quietly humming like Gloria Gaynor "I will survive".
For dinner either lemon chicken with pasta or a veggie and shrimp starry - both from the newest Hairy cookbooks.

I'm here, not hungry, butternut squash soup for lunch just because I fancy it. Fish for dinner.
2nd fast of the week and my first foray into 4:3. Maybe that's why I fancy lunch, Thursday is usually my fast day. Old habits and all that. Good luck everyone.

Glad to see so many of you on the new year fasting wagon! I did mine yesterday but I just wanted to wish you all a great fasting, fabulous day!

I'm in, 2nd fast this week. Did 1 fast per week during the holidays and it didn't seem to cause more than a pound or 2 of weight gain. Looking forward to light dinner, mostly veg... Always look forward to the day after !

Good luck to all fasters.

I am joining you today for a second fast this week & feeling pleased that I am managing so far! I hope you all have a good day. I'm still trying to get back into fasting mode after Christmas indulgences.

I have struggled a bit today, the cold has affected me badly. Having raynaulds syndrome means my fingers go numb at the drop of a hat and that's what they're doing every time I go outside. Had two chicken thighs and cuppa soup today. Class tonight which will definitely warm me up. Hope everyone else is feeling ok
