The FastDay Forum

Hello all Tuesday fasters
I am joining you today on the first fast since I came back from Egypt. I am really looking forward to getting back in the routine & I'm sure my digestive system will be pleased with the rest. We had a lovely day yesterday with my eldest son popping down for lunch, so roast lamb, roast potatoes etc, a small piece of my OH Easter egg but apple juice instead of wine. We have now eaten all the Victoria sponge I made, the first successful one ever because it rose beautifully! So thank you Mary Berry & there is no temptation left in the house.
I will keep myself busy with loads of ironing & washing & eat my 500 calories this evening. My OH will start 5:2ing when he has had his blood tests because he is a Type 2 diabetic & his Diabetic nurse is supportive & knew all about the 5:2 Fast Diet which is very encouraging. My usual fast days are Monday & Friday but balancing Easter Monday this week.
Good luck all newcomers & everyone fasting today

Hi all!

I missed my Tues morning weigh in this morning due to missing my Mon fast, yesterday. I thought it'd be more encouraging (mentally) if I gave myself a bit of a chance by fasting today and weighing in tomorrow.

Waaay too many drinks over the long weekend with mates down from London, but we did manage to squeeze a 25km bike ride in on Saturday (ending in a Vineyard - so not entirely healthy!).

Best of luck to my fellow post-Easter fasters today!

Phew - such a relief to step away from the Bank Holiday weekend and into a fast day. Got to get organised with food shop for week (easy peasy as off to Berlin Friday morning on a Hen Weekend and Thursday is a fast day as well. Also want to get washing and list for packing done and get my holiday Euros sorted. Just about time to organise a lovely skinny but healthy chicken salad for tea tonight. Yum!!

Good morning to all Tuesday Fasters

Normally fast on a Monday but since I was still in holiday mode yesterday I am joining you Tuesday fasters instead.

I thought this morning was going all to well, however, the kids are now driving me crazy and that rather large Lindt chocolate bunny is looking rather good!

Must disract myself, I think it is time to venture out in the cold to the local playground...

Good luck all!

Hope you all had a lovely Easter.
TBH I'm glad it's over, I managed to consume my own body weight in chocolate, so I'm feeling today's fast hard already due to the sugar, I'm sure it'll get easier as the day progresses. I really need a good one to get me back in my routine.
good luck today fasters!

I'm so looking forward to a nice restful fast day today, after nearly a week of over-indulgent catering for visitors!

Hi Tuesday peeps, I'm another so ready to fast today after enjoying my Easter break. It's one of those weeks where it's difficult to fit in the fasts so today is probably it for this week. I've been up early serving delicious breakfasts to all my b&b guests so enjoying a peppermint tea now and simply not tempted to anything else.

Hi all,

I'm joining you in fasting today after four lunches/dinners out over Easter! My weight loss is very slow - 150 grams here, 250 grams there and last week I gained 900 grams eek! So, today for the first time, I'm going to try to save all my calories for my evening meal to see if that makes a difference. If not, I'll know for sure that I'm eating too much on my feast days - I don't want to calorie count on my feed days as I'd like to be able to relax around food but if I continue to lose this slowly (and gain!), then I most probably will have to! I've been following SW for years and since starting the 5.2 four weeks ago I know I've been having all the "treats" I've never allowed myself but once the novelty wears off I know I will knuckle down and eat more sensibly.

Good luck everyone for today.

After my aborted fast yesterday I am fasting today. So far just some black coffee and water. Looking forward to dinner tonight which will probably fish and some veggies!

Have a good day everyone x

Easter alcohol excess is over and it's time to get back on track. Looking forward to fasting today tho have been reasonably good foodwise over the break just went to the pub a bit more often.
have shared a egg and a box of celebrations with husband but balanced out by an hours zumba hopefully:-) Scales will tell tomorrow

All cals being saved for ~Gammon, colcannon and carrots tonite mmm cant wait

Good luck to all fasting today

Usually fast on Monday but changed to today because of the bank holiday. I'm feeling SO-O-O cold today!! Nothing to eat until tonight - ratatouille with a bit of fish I think. But I will have a Cuppa Sop before my next telephone lesson...Excuse me! I'd better go and boil the kettle for my hot water bottle and my soup. Good fasting everyone!

... time to organise a lovely skinny but healthy chicken salad for tea tonight. Yum!!

Change of plan as I realised that I had lots of cauliflower and brocolli to use up, so it's curry instead with that veg, mushrooms, onions and tin of tomatoes and some quorn pieces. Came in at under 300 cals, so decided to have a little prawn salad for lunch as well. Lovely.

Enjoy your fasting everyone xx

Hello Tuesday fasters,

Newbie Alert...just thought i'd post my first reply. Only found out about the 5:2 diet at the weekend (no idea where i've been ) so decided to give it a try today, so far so good.

Really excited to make the 5:2 diet part of my everyday life, seems so easy in comparison to normal diets. Currently 10st, i'm hoping to lose atleast 14lbs and then maybe another 1/2 stone after that.

Didn't fancy waiting till an evening meal so i'm spreading the calories out over the day.

What are you all eating today?

Hello Tuesday fasters!

Fast day %5 for me today. Don't plan on having anything but water until supper, unless it's some chicken broth. Grilled chicken salad planned for tonight since DH has a fishing tournament to go to. Need to do some major house cleaning today and I have an afternoon trip to the Periodontist for a cleaning later this afternoon. So have a full day planned.

Morning peeps!
I;m fasting today. I managed to wake up at 1pm so half a day is already gone and I just started to feel the hunger. Time to cook me lunch!
Good luck to all fasting today, I have my weekly weigh in tomorrow and I really need the fast today, LOL!
