The FastDay Forum

Well I'm in having missed my Tuesday fast. Coffee had, may have another to get me moving, then walk to and on beach, vegie soup ready to go. Mini protein bar later then vegies, after massage and another walk. Good luck fasters.

Yay! I'm back! First fast in 3 weeks and it's my 2nd Fastiversary. I'm glad I had a break. I've put on 2 kg, but all set to start off again, possibly 4:3. I'll see how today goes. I'm going to have a boiled egg with bread, no butter, for breakfast as I don't think I can launch straight into nothing till tea time today. I have purchased some packet soups - 23 calories a serve - to keep me on track during the day and minestrone is planned for dinner.
I can read back over my blogs of 2 years ago when I started 5:2 and remember the waves of hunger. I'm ready for them today. Looking forward to 'seeing' everyone else who's a Thursday faster. Let's do it!

Whoops! I didn't see this, and started another thread. Hope someone can merge them. I'll copy paste my entry here:

Welcome back, @Sallyo! As you probably know because I mention it here so often, I start every day with a soft-boiled egg. It's less than 100 calories and it keeps me going so long. It's not for everyone, obviously, but for those of us who need something in the morning, it's a far cry from the standard American carb-laden breakfast.

Anyway… I'm also in today. I've had my egg and my first coffee. I might need a second already--not to fight off hunger, just because I'm sleepy.

Good luck, Thursday fasters! And special good luck to participants in @nursebean's ADF/DODO challenge!

La Zuppa Lentil soup at 12.30. 26 calories and it hit the spot. Now the long haul until dinner. Hopefully the soup will help me. Minestrone soup is on the stove, all our vegetables, or friends' veggies, except for the cannelloni beans: onions, garlic, carrots. potatoes. ( small ones, pink eyes.) zucchini, green beans, and tomatoes. Add home made duck stock. How goes it @Maryann and @GMH?

@Sallyo good to see u back, how's the wrist? I'm doing fine tho a bit hungry today, soup, protein bar, 8 cal hot chocolate all done, not sure about dinner. Have some veg & lentil curry made n frozen or eggplant, chickpea tomato, or may buy some cauliflower and butternut and smash them together, lower cal and filling. Off for a massage in 2 hours, then more walkies and veg out

I'm in!
Lots of variety of veg for me for dinner tonight. Used to have it with a grilled chicken breast but realised I enjoy the veg more than the chicken? Go figure - so cut out the chicken as the highest calorie item.
Really enjoy just my steamed veg with chilli flakes on top - yum. Also a load of brussel sprouts tonight for roasting with some garlic, yum!
Finding the fasting easy at the moment - long may it continue!
Have a great day all!

I'm in! Second fast of the week as I am on Bean's April ADF/DODO challenge. Just getting through lunchtime here and off to make a peppermint tea. Poached chicken wrap for dinner tonight and I am REALLY looking forward to that! Good luck everyone fasting today.

I'm in again. Third of Four on the DODO challenge.
Black coffee just now for breakfast, a busy day that will include making bread for tonight's poached eggs.
Begining to get the house in order for packing up...gettting excited.
Good luck fellow fasters
engage smug mode - I've managed to merge the posts . Disengage smug mode

I'm in too, second fast as part of the DODO challenge. It's thankfully been busy at work today and I staved off lunchtime hunger pains with a yoga class across the road from the office.

I'm in too....
Struggling to get back on track. Fatigue and irritability beeing my main obstacles.
If I succeed today it will make 2 fasts this week and that will hopefully boost my confidence and motivation

Have a lovely day out there!

I'm here too starting out on the second fast of three this week. Some of us have nearly completed the day, well done! Cottage cheese, a mushroom omelette tonight and soup at lunch for me. There's a positive feeling here after reading all your posts which are so supportive, and @Sallyo is back and typing again!
Good results everyone!

Hi all . Im in today Good luck all
