The FastDay Forum

I'm in. Feeling it's going to be difficult to last another six hours for lunch at 2pm. It's entirely the fault of our local seagulls, because on rubbish day I'm up extra early to hand our sacks over to the guys at 6.30am, thus outwitting the gulls. I'm nearly hungry enough to eat a seagull (and I'm a vegetarian), but will settle for a cup of tea. Good luck to anyone else fasting today.

I'm in as well. Struggling a bit as not really losing any weight now (and I have more to lose) and it is a bit demotivating. Hey ho. There must be more than 2 of us today, surely?!

I'm here again today as yesterday's fast was a disaster and I ate everything in sight.! I felt terrible and then guilty but am determined to do a good fast today.

Yes, I'm in too. Just having a glass of water before I get ready to go to work. I'm feeling a bit queasy as I'm a bit nervous about going to work this morning as I handed my notice in at the weekend but I haven't seen my boss yet! Oh well, if he had treated me a bit better I wouldn't have found myself another job!

Hi, I'm in today, will see how I go as I gave blood yesterday, but I'm normally OK fasting the day after.

I've been roughly maintaining on one or two fasts per week, but I probably could do with shifting a few more kg as I've entered my local 10 mile run in October. I'm going to cut down on weekend alcohol and my occasional pastries to see how that goes.

Feeling good so far, will max out as usual on coffee and sparkling water, though I occasionally have a high five zero for variety. I now have a settled routine of nothing solid until the evening which seems to work for me.

Good luck to all

@Slimmer that's the beauty of 5:2 - you can just get back on the bike the next day if you have a bad one - good luck today

I'm in. It's almost dinner time here. I can hardly wait!

Im in today after having my first break from fasting for the last week and a half. Think I have put a lot of weight on in that time. Feeling bad but need to get back on to it. Good luck all

And me!
Feel less hungry when it's hot but also less inclined to get out and exercise. Will eat this evening and then go for a late walk/run depending on temperature....or (more honestly) inclination!

I am in too, as usual for Wednesdays. Out for dinner last night and scale up 1.4 pounds but I am sure it will disappear by tomorrow. I do daily weighing but don't get fussed by ups and downs. My True Weight app says my trend weight is under 150 lb. For the first time in 20 years
Love this WOE/WOL. Good luck all today.

Im in too. I was busy this morning and hardly noticed I was fasting, but now I am sitting in the sun (in my undies! No shame with my slimmer bod!) having a relax and all thoughts are of food. Still hours to go till dindins. hmmm, coffee and bubbly water sound good @egduf.

I'm thinking about fasting today and tomorrow, knock down that holiday weight I've been dealing with. It's raining here. So no sitting in the sun for me. Time for me to start moving.

I'm doing a water only fast today and also fasting tomorrow. I had to fast today as yesterday was our anniversary and Himself took us out for a meal. I can't fast at the weekends, it's just totally unacceptable to me and whenever I try to fast on a Monday I always fail.

Feeling a bit hungry but got lots to do this evening so hopefully will keep my mind off food. Weight loss has been really slow lately, can't see this week being any different either, as other than allotmenting, I haven't done any proper exercise ie kettlebells. It's just too damn warm to be throwing those things around.

I'm in. I had breakfast and am waiting until dinner. I'm proud of myself for not stress eating, since my air conditioning unit was stolen from the back of my house! Of course, it's hot in my house now too, so that might be affecting my appetite!

I'm fasting today instead of Thurs, as tomorrow is my birthday. I was a bit hungrier than usual today, since I just fasted Monday, but it is not only a little while until I'll make dinner. And I was at such a cheering weight this morning. I will try not to blow it all on birthday goodies.
