The FastDay Forum

Yep, I'm in today as well. 3rd week, 6th fasting day. Feeling good, will weigh in tommorow but I know it's been a good week. Had to cinch my belt another notch, clothes getting droopy Good luck to all fasters !

Good morning, I'm in!

Have to tell you: I told my brother (lives with me) and son I was going to do this diet 3 weeks ago. I have made additional food for them on fast nights and have been making more meals from scratch. Last night as we were out walking, brother turned to me and said "I think I have to start wearing a belt with these pants!" So it is working for someone not "on" the diet as well!

I´m in too. Having a good day . I overeated yesterday, so having low calorie days rest of the week...

My first fast today, seems to be going ok although I opted for missing breakfast, porridge lunch and saving a couple extra for dinner at 7pm ish.
Feeling a little spaced out, I'm assuming that's the norm?

So many of us!! My second week and 4th fasting day. Trying something different today - only had a banana for breakfast, been drinking loads of water as usual (I say "as usual" - that's since I started on the fast diet - I was really lax with it before!) and had a cup of tea when I went home at lunchtime to see the dogs. Feel absolutely fine, so I'll have a light meal this evening (stir "fry" chicken & veg with a little rice).

Hubby's doing it the other way round to me as he loves his breakfast and has a "social" time at lunchtime with friends at work, so he's taken a lower cal version of his lunch and he won't have dinner. This really came about because on Tuesday we were walking the dogs after work and we both felt that we probably could have gone without an evening meal at all (having only had breakfast that day). In fact, after we had dinner we both found it tricky to resist the urge to eat more (we did resist, but it was quite hard).

All trial and error at the moment I suppose, but I'm so glad I discovered this plan having struggled with my weight forever (I'm 44 - never been really slim and weight creeps up, goes down a bit, goes up a bit more etc). I know all the theory (and I used to be a Slimming World consultant many years ago), it's just sticking to it long-term that's the problem.

Fasting today - going well. Have settled into a routine of latte from breakfast and then nothing till dinner. Works for me

Been pretty active today too, so hopefully will show on the scales, been stuck for a bit now. But hey ho - in for the long haul!

Good luck everyone,

Me... and I am struggling today

I felt so rotten this morning, I had a glass of orange juice. I am drinking nothing but water and black coffee now though. The orange juice got me to a tennis lesson though!

Small dinner of 350 calories tonight to account for the juice.

Tried a different approach today, only fast #4 but previously just had cereal all day, 3 lots with a couple of coffees and a banana.

Decided to try just drinks until 1.30pm then had an omelette, out at a meeting this evening so will just have a banana before I go, then can have coffee when I come home. Works out just under 500 cal for the day, so seems to have worked a bit better.

i'm in
not been that great today had some marigold for lunch and then 2 craackers and a mini shortbread
will be having a 3 egg mush omlette for tea and then tomorrow am off on my holiday for 2 weeks

good luck all

I'm in!

Doing well so far, did get a bit hungry for a while earlier but after drinking about a litre of water I'm good again, haven't got much food in the house today and can't go shopping until tomorrow so I'm quite limited on what I can have.

I do have some chicken breasts so I was thinking 600 calories worth of chicken!

Sooooooo

Hi all: I'm new to the forum and am fasting today. I'm not new to 5:2 fasting---have been doing it since mid-March (after an extended alternate day fasting experiment a few years ago) and have finally joined the forum, where I've gotten such great information....Much appreciation to everyone!

I'm having good success and think that this particular form of fasting will work as a WOL for me.

Pip... What's happening?! I know you didn't feel good earlier. I'm struggling today, but still hanging on, waiting till 6 o'clock at the earliest... Rumble rumble grumble!

Welcome Rubylucy!

Thanks, Golarne--I'm glad to be a part of this community!

Good Morning from sunny California. I'll be fasting today. I have a Girls weekend tomorrow and I'm a little nervous about gaining back the five lbs I've lost. We will be walking a lot.....but also drinking Mai Tais. I did an extra down day this week in hopes that it will help. I won't stress too much, since I've decided to live this way, I need to plan for bumps in the road and life in general. Hope you all have/have had a great day!
