The FastDay Forum

ddfae when I make my soup I weigh out all of my ingredients and then work out the calories of the soup divided by how many portions I have made.

Definately going to the gym later....just downloaded some more music to my ipod

Starting my 8th fast today! Shouldn't be too difficult for me today since I over ate on Friday and Sunday I weighed myself this am and the numbers are going down - a bit over a pound a week. I'm really loving this WOL! I can soooo do this

Have a great day my fellow-fasters!!

Week 12 for me and Monday fast as usual, not struggling with hunger anymore as think my body has given in and accepted fast days (although maybe it's more my mind!), as usual I have the tidiest house on a Monday as that gives my day at home structure when baby is napping replacing the usual feed times! Losing weight and a cleaner house is a win win! Afternoon school run soon and then dinner will roll round quickly.

Starting 3rd week and 5th fast today. Good luck to everyone today I know I get through thinking I can't have that today but I can have it tomorrow if I still want it.

I am trying to save most of my 500 for dinner again as that worked well for my Thursday fast. Just a cup of broth or veggie soup for lunch (since I left the salad I made at home!)and then chicken and veg for dinner and strawberries for dessert.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

I'm unexpectedly fasting today. Usually I don't fast on Mondays because I go to a craft group in the evening and there's always something yummy and home-baked! I found out mid-morning that my lift-provider wasn't going. I'd already had a feast-day breakfast, so I'm compensating by only having a cup of bouillon for lunch. I'm quite pleased about the surprise fast though, because I was afraid I would only get one fast day in before Easter indulgence; now I should get two.

Bit of a change of plan today - I did a gym session first thing, so decided to have an egg when I got back, due to advice on having protein soon after excercise to keep muscles healthy. So will deduct that from this evenings meal allowance. I usually have dinner only.

So far so good - a bit hungry, but fine really, and the day is racing away ! Hope its going well for everyone else.

Today I'm trying breakfast & dinner instead of lunch & dinner. Won't be home for several hours, so I'm hoping to not have too hard a time waing until dinner to eat again. I went for a walk after dropping my sons off at school and now I'm sipping a big black coffee. I also bought an iced herbal tea so I should stay hydrated while running around. Good luck to all!

Fast day here, dinner at 6.30...good luck to all fasters, you CAN do it!

Snowy day in Rockville, MD. I will be fasting today, any recommendations?????

5th week and 9th fast today after a bit of an excessive weekend. Not sure what's for dinner as I need to see what's in when I get home but I really fancy beans on toast for some reason.

Hope all fellow fasters are having a great day.

Hello! Beginner from Finland reports on her first fasting day. Feeling ok, but it's weird not to be eating. I normally snack a lot!

Started my fast today also. Two hard boiled eggs and I waited until 10:30 A.M. to have them.

Hello! Today is my 6th fast day in 4 weeks as it was hopeless last week, and so I decided to stop worrying about it and start again today. There were just too many things going on to fit any fast days in. But it is now well into the afternoon today and with a bit of luck, I would just sneak in at 500 or 525 kCals. Not perfect I know, but I just couldn't pass up the delicious and crispy Braeburn apple!

Good morning! I am brand new to the 5:2 Fast Diet, and I am looking forward to seeing positive results. The timing is perfect with summer coming in just a few months here in the N. Hemisphere. I love that people from all over the world are doing this together.

4th week, 7th fast today. And I'm sick! Bad cold. I think that will help with this fast though. Not hungry and very thirsty.
