The FastDay Forum

I'm 24 hours fasted but still need to go 4 more and then I can sleep to morning. This forum is a lifesaver when it comes to cravings.

I usually fast on Tuesdays and Fridays, but had a blip yesterday, so I am joining in today. Wow, this 5:2 Plan is truly international and it is great to read all your posts, especially the folks from Australia.

First time I have done this on a day where I wasn't at work. Went a bit over 500 as our trip to the accountant was re-scheduled and there was a coffee shop and still an hour on the parking meter!! Still I only had a quarter of a muffin and my husband polished off the rest. Bless him.

I'm fasting today as well. I do M-W-F most weeks. I woke up with a grumbling tummy this morning. I'm trying to quiet it with some lemon water and then I'll have a cup of hot tea.

Feeling thinner this morning, so that's encouraging!

Starving and just had lunch!

So far so bad. It's been a bad day overall and fasting isn't helping. Not that I'm not going to stick to it but I wanted to nag a bit...

My first day at fasting today.going good but cant do with out my cups of tea with milk(full fat).should i knock that of the 500 cals drinking more than ever

First of the week for me.
Started yesterday, but my son turned up to surprise me and wanted to take me for lunch. How could I refuse when he'd travelled so far!
Today has gone well, and I'm just about to go and prepare a lovely big cottage cheese salad.
I have some fresh strawberries for after.

So far so bad. It's been a bad day overall and fasting isn't helping. Not that I'm not going to stick to it but I wanted to nag a bit...

Sorry to hear that - nag away! Pleased to say that today hasn't been too bad, after my truly awful day on Monday. I haven't cried once!!

Hello - I'm in today. It has been SO busy at work, and although I had a short break at 'lunch time', this site is blocked at work so I couldn't say hello!

Busy evening now, and then I will flop at about 8pm with a 500cal meal - can't wait!

I am fasting today too - it is my 9th fasting day and I am on 4:3. Today has been very good for me with no hunger, eating only 320 calories - and I will eat NO MORE before tomorrow morning
Hope you are all getting well through the fasting day

I don't normally fast on a wednesday - usually thursday - but I managed to dislodge a crown on one of my molars when I was flossing my teeth last night - I'm not in pain but I was a bit reluctant to eat with what feels like an enormous cavern in my gums! I can' t get an appointment with the dentist till thursday so I decided to bring forward my fast. Going well so far and I'm excited ny the thought of 4 whole days without a fast before next monday.

Oh boy.... had a close call at the co-op over lunchtime but I JUST made it to tea-time... tougher than I had anticipated, today....

Just added up the calories and managed to eat 400 - 420 today. That makes up for yesterday and I shall do my regular fast on Friday.

Just a few hours to go til bedtime... roll on Thursday!
