The FastDay Forum

Having my first ever Monday fast as it is a colleague's birthday tomorrow and I want/need cake!!! Was very good over the weekend (compared to previous weekends!) and still only managed to lose a pound. The last few pounds to get to my target weight have definitely been the hardest to come off. Ah well!
Happy Monday fasting everyone.

I am fasting today instead of my usual Tuesday because we are going on holiday for a few days and so I won't have access to a kitchen to make my meals! Another plus about 5:2 is that you can arrange your fasting days to suit situations like this!

Hallo all and happy fasting day! Lemon and ginger tea to start me on a late sleepy morning. Must. Get. Going!

Morning All, I'm in, week 7, fast number 13. Saving all my 367 calories for dinner tonight a big salad with chicken. Having green tea and fizzy water all day. Maybe a bovril at lunchtime. Will have a cup of chai, a 10 cal jelly this evening and a hot chocolate before bed. Will eat again tomorrow lunchtime. Good luck to everyone but especially the newbies fasting for the first few times. Come on in, the waters lovely once you get used to it

Good Morning I'm fasting today. Good luck everyone!

Hi, I'm fasting today , it will be my third fast , think I'm getting the hang of it now.

My first fast in over a week. I was away all last week on business and managed to gain 5 lbs. I REALLY need to refocus. I changed my weigh in stats, I have to own this gain and just move on.

Good luck to all the fasters today!

Morning all - I'm in for the Monday fast. I'm starting my second month of 5:2 and I' down a steady 9lbs which I'm happy with...I don't mind that it's coming off slowly - as long as it's coming off! My first initial goal was to have a stone off for my brother's wedding - that's in 2 and a half weeks so it might be tight getting that but I'll give it a go.

Today will be difficult as I normally fast on liquids all day and then make a veg based meal when I get home...however my FIL is terminal in hospital and we are taking turns to sit with him and hubby and I are doing the 6pm to 12.00 tonight - so don't know if I'll get food made. I might just bite the bullet and fast completely until the morning...time will tell.

Fasting today - really hungry this morning, so I've just had 2 ryvita with a low low triangle. I'm getting my nails done at lunchtime, and I'm out dancing tonight, so plenty to keep me busy.

I'd usually aim for Thursday as a second fast day, but I'm at Balmoral Show with my sister that day, so it would be difficult. so I might change to Wednesday - I've an evening meeting which is good, but I'll probably try to eat something beforehand - maybe those M&S mooli rolls everyone's raving about!

i'm in! just been for my morning power walk and feeling good on here sipping a green tea x

Sorry to hear that Gingerfurball. You might not feel like eating anyway. Sending a hug

I´m in too, like always. =) Didn´t have time to eat breakfest so 24 fasting doesn´t work this time. Well, I had vegetablesoup for lounch with bread and egg, maybe some fruits for dinner. Week 7 started.

Have a good one everybody!

Second fast day today! I bought the cookbook last week so now I have more than enough recipes to choose from. Today should be easier than last Thursday though (which I found very hard) because I'm actually busy today - going into town in a bit and then going to see Derrwn Brown at the theatre tonight!

Fasting today, day 1.

Egg and 1 ryvita for breakfast, salad for lunch and salmon and salad for dinner. Brings me in at 475 cals, quite pleased with that. Drinking loads of water too. I have 10lbs to lose in 5 weeks, wishful thinking

I was doing so well, but my colleague has made his lunch 1hr early and it smells so strong. I am now starving.

Shall have to eat my melon I think...
