The FastDay Forum

Going in for third fast. Bit grumpy already, dont know why. Its a mental thing my hunger, I can do this better than I think I can, but my head gets in the way.

I just dont want to over think it, its still early days. Looking forward to cinnamon orange tea.


'We're all in this together.

Thursday is my third fast too, there seem to be a lot of us on number 3! Hope it's a strong day because I woke up at 630am hungry and it's a bit tough so far. My other days I haven't felt hunger until lunchtime. I really do like my fast days though - in retrospect. Luckily it's a day off for me so I'm thinking I might head back to bed for a sneaky, time wasting snooze.
Good luck everyone

I'm here too as usual. I'm into my eight week on 5:2 now and have come to really enjoy the fast days. Dropping into a lower BMI category with my weigh-in yesterday has given me renewed enthusiasm to keep going, and physically I feel SO much better. Currently browsing the Hairy Dieters cookbook to try and decide what to have for dinner; the recipes we've tried so far have been hits with the whole family.

Have a successful day everyone!

AirR I love your avatar.

I am trying to grow wattles here in the USA in Athens GA. I have a couple going but no flowers yet so I hope I can see those lovely acacia flowers in the next year or so

Thanks Allan. It's a bottlebrush (Callistemon) that is growing in my garden. I also have a wattle bush with yellow flowers that blooms towards the end of our winter (it's autumn here now). I love Australian native plants. Good luck with your wattles!

Fasting today, I.m 18 hours on water so far and feeling great. It really does get easyier over time.

Not quite the 2nd of May yet lool, but I shall be joining you all today. Looking forward to it as well. I can't say how much I feel soooo rejuvenated with this WOE!

I will be dry fasting ( no liquids) til around 8 or so

These people who look forward to fasting! I don't get it. Maybe I will in time. It is nearly 2pm and I am ravenous. It's not psychological. It's physical. Time for a glass of water and then get out into the garden and enjoy the autumnal afternoon. As for renovations, it's all go here. Solar hot water going onto the roof, the kitchen out of bounds tonight due to cork tile surfacing. This is our 8th fast, 4th week.

I, too, am fasting today Thursday. It is my first one so hope I am successful. However, it is 9am here in Azerbaijan and I am starving - not a good omen!

Drink water JaneM, that usually staves off hunger

Fasting today here & looking forward to it!

Congratulations Wineoclock. I am fasting today as well. Had a disaterous last two days but back on track today. My confidence has been boosted by a couple of people commenting that I have lost weight. I have only lost a couple of kg but my clothes are definitely looser. Fantastic.

Good Morning
I'm fasting too, number 24 or 26 for me I think.
I'll be doing my usual nothing till dinner time, not sure I could join Wildmissus and her 36 hour gang, so good luck with that Suchard
I might go for a run after the school run I don't usually on a Fast day, I think it's the fear of being hungry afterwards - daft after all this time.
Happy Fasting everyone

Fasting today with a gym session later. I love exercising on a fast day as I know I'm burning stored calories!

I´m in! My 5th week started. I have been trying 24 h fasting this week, let´s see if it works better. I eat only breakfest, then just water and tea for the rest of the day.

Morning all, fasting today - into week 8 now. I had a brief 'oh I can't be bothered' moment first thing this morning but then I had to get on with getting the kids ready for school so that passed.

I'm going to a yoga session this morning for the first time ever! Really looking forward to it, it's something I've always wanted to try. Wondering how bendy I'll be compared to the other ladies
