3rd week, and my 6th fast day today. Feeling more confident each time now. Fluids all day, then crunchy veg stir fry with spicy turkey for tea (after Body Combat). I just wish everything in my day was likely to be so straightforward!

Have a good fast day 5:2ers!

Good morning all, looking forward to my third fast, organised with tea bags Had breakfast and will eat tonight at about 6.15.
Have a good day folks x

Also 3rd week and 6th fast day. As on Monday I cycled in this morning without a problem (aside from the fact that my legs ached from sprinting around on the bike and cycling much further than normal yesterday). No hunger yet but I am very tired today as have a heavy teaching week in the lab. I am determined to make it through the day, however.

Good luck everyone!

Morning everyone!

I'm fasting today as well. Feel really tired and a bit yukky but I'll be busy at work and nothing will stop me keeping to my 500 calories for dinner tonight.

Morning all
I'm fasting today, I think it's fast number 10 and for the first time I am aiming to eat nothing until dinner tonight so wish me luck!
I certainly don't feel hungry at the moment without breakfast so looking forward to tuning into the hunger even more than normal
Not sure what I will eat for dinner, maybe beans & cheese on toast?

Have a good day everyone.

Me today too. Got salad & stew for lunch & dinner.

Fast day for me too, nothing till dinner time just plenty of herbal teas...weigh day tomorrow!...
I wonder if that pesky Eton mess cheesecake I had on Tuesday will get its payback

7th Fast Day, week 3, all okay here.

I never thought it would, as the book says, get easier, but it does.

One meal this evening, probably soup and crackers, the OH is not working on a fast day for the first time, so lets see how that goes.

It's been a long week, or so it seems as I fasted on Sunday as well, with not drinking alcohol that day, and waiting for Friday to come for a Beer, it's dragged, but it's definitely working, I hope!

Good luck everyone.

Hi, first fast day for me today ever. Not at work as the children are on half term, but we are quite busy so hopefully it won't be too bad. Won't be eating until dinner tonight. Here goes...

Have had to put my Thursday fast of till Friday and will miss you Thursday folk, have a great fast day and see you all next week.

Fasting today but not off to a good start! Stayed at my Mum's last night and there was a croissant in front of me for breakfast before I had a chance to wake up and say no to it!

Oh well, nothing now until dinner - which will be mostly veg!

I am sure if I go slightly over 500 cals today won't be the end of the world!

Good luck to everyone fasting today!

Fasting with you. I am not hungry but so tired. My tummy hurts from having 2weeks period!!!. Will see doc tomorrow

Today's my first fast day as well! I'm 143.2 as of this morning. Looking to get back down to 125, which was my ideal weight from a couple of years back when I was (obviously) much healthier and more active. I'm 25 and am 5'6".

I started to feel the hunger pains a bit this morning as I'm used to eating breakfast within the first 20 minutes of getting up in the morning! But it has subsided and I'm drinking lots of green tea now to get me through to dinner tonight.

In regards to drinking "lots" of green tea, does anyone have any experience with this? Obviously green tea has a bit of caffeine in it-- does this cause anyone headaches? I ask because I am incredibly prone to headaches, so not looking to trigger anything!

Happy fasting to all of you! Would love to hear about the progress you've made so far!

Good luck all fasters. I have been fasting on Tuesday and Thursday since August and keeping busy really helps. Won't eat until 7.00pm tonight but drink lots of water and black tea / coffee.
