The FastDay Forum

Hi all . I'm fasting today. Monday is my weigh day as well and i'm chuffed to have lost 3 lb since last week. 6lb in total. Fasting thurs as well then away till mon so will have to do tues and thurs next week cause I don't want to forgoe the breakfast on mon.!!!

Hello! I'm fasting today. Usually fast Tuesday and Thursday but had a bad weekend so thought I'd try and do Mon and Weds and a maintenance fast on Friday.

CAn see that Monday is a very popular day to fast with people on this Forum.

I am 4 weeks into this WOE and finding it easy however I haven;t lost any weight!!! I only have around 5/6 pounds to lose so focusing on the health benefits rather than a weight loss but would like to see some weight coming off soon.

A little disheartened but will continue. I am going to try and have no cakes/biscuits/sweet things during the week at all this week to see if this makes a difference.

Good luck today everyone.

Good Morning it's fast #21 for me today.

Yeah, here we go again. Drinking green tea - does anybody REALLY like the stuff? At least it's no good for dunking Hob Nobs so that is one less temptation!

Yoohoo fasters it must be Monday. Had my peppermint tea, rode my horse, it's work time now. Have a good day.

i'm fasting for the first time today! green tea and an apple for lunch i think.

Fast number 9 for me today. I won't have any solid food until about 8:30 tonight so that will be 24 hours with out food. I've got Chilli in the crock pot and I am going to make rice and corn bread for the non-fasters to have with it. I've planned for a half piece of corn bread myself. Lots of coffee, water and an Oxo for me until then. Monday is a pretty easy fast day since I spend the weekend eating/drinking what ever I want. Today is weigh in day and I am down another pound which puts me at 5.5 pounds down after 4 weeks of doing 5:2. I'm happy with that. My lowest weight day of the week is always Friday and Monday is always my highest but since I started on a Monday I use that as my official weigh in day. (I'm up 3 pounds from Friday but still down one from last Monday) I hope everyone has a successful day today.

Hope you all have a successful fast day. I am also fasting, the start of my 12th week and this diet is continuing to work, much to my surprise.

Hi all and good luck- Monday seems a popular day!
Only managed one fast last week, while I enjoy the fast days I feel my enthusiasm may be waning as I have seen very limited weight loss (I have been quite patient over the weeks!) and can't be sure about the other benefits...my body fat percentage seems to be stuck too.
I really want to make sure I give it a proper try but how much longer should I wait?! I am not looking to lose the 'last 5 pounds', still have a ways to go. Just a bit disheartened.
Anyway, hopefully this week I'll have two succesful fasts and feel better about it!

I am also fasting today & this is the beginning of my 12th week so I suppose this is my 25th fast. Only coffee, water & fruit tea until dinner around 7-00pm which will be smoked salmon & scrambled egg that is a treat for me. I am sorting out my clothes & finally packing away winter ones & finding some I can fit into now which is great
Have a good fast day everyone.

Im on my 5th fast day and week 3 of the 5:2. I was going well with a 3lb weight loss over 2 weeks (only have around 15lbs to lose) but have managed to put on this week I have found the other fast days relatively easy but am struggling today (maybe to do with the weight gain). Anyway i am hoping to survive until later on tonight when I get my tea! good luck fellow fasters!

I'm fasting today. I feel hungrier than normal, and it's taking all my self control as I have loads of yummy stuff in.

Hello Monday Fasters: It's Monday morning in Canada (eastern time zone) and I'm joining in. 7 weeks and 7 pounds. Steady progress, great for me (62 and activity is walking the dog). No food until 6 pm (10 hours from now) Coffee, water, herbal tea should be enough.
This such a cool site with folks from around the world.

Had a fever all night, woke up with a migraine, my favourite aunt is in the hospital and I can't visit because I'm not well and yet I'm fasting. Not sure if this is an indicator that I'm mad as a cow or addicted...
I'm going for a 4:3 this week although I'm not sure how I'll do if I get bad news for my aunt.

Hope you get good news TML13 & you start to feel better yourself. I think this is my 5th week - and feeling really good. Muffin top has gone had 2 oranges this morning and was shocked to see how high they are in kcals Thai steak salad later. Good luck everyone
