The FastDay Forum

Very happy birthday for tomorrow @peebles - hope you have a super day!

I've been in today - my first fast for a good week & a half. Have been doing a lot of 16:8's though.....

Hope it's gone alright for everyone x

Thanks for the birthday wishes, @Hazelnut20!

Good to hear you are back on the fasting bandwagon and doing so well when not fasting, too.

The birthday will be fun, but also challenging. I had rashly remarked to my daughter that I loved the chololate nut treats she had sent for Father's Day, and now there is a huge box from the same addictively good company with my name in the address box, sitting here waiting to be opened.

Since telling her how much I loved the nut treats I have also realized that my recent month-long stall ended when we had exhausted the contents of that Father's Day box, so I am going to have to be careful here. Because what I don't want for my Birthday is five more pounds of body fat. Not when it has taken me five months to lose 11 of them! But the good thing is that having gotten this far is quite motivating. It has been years since I've done a diet where I could actually see a major change.

Oooh, num num @peebles - how lovely! Choc covered nuts are my favourite...

So related to your comment re the 5lbs of fat though! It's amazing, isn't it, that we are now "weighing up" the pro's & cons of eating a particular thing? Who would have thought that possible/likely before starting 5:2?!!

Do hope you had a lovely birthday......
