Fasting today but planning on having an ordinary tea tonight rather than the 500 cal limit as we have guests. I think I'll follow that up by doing another two fasts this week but not restrict on the evening meal (so that's 3 x 24 hour full fasts rather than 2 x 36 hour 500 cal fasts). Hopefully that'll compensate for tonight's indulgence! Don't you just love the flexibility of this lifestyle?

My OH & I are also fasting today it is my 15th week so I suppose this must be my 30th fast & my OH's 4th. We are having a fairly lazy day today & won't eat until evening when we will have an M& S fuller longer meal. This evening we are going to see the new Star Trek film any Trekkies out there?

I'm fasting today. 10 almonds this morning miso soup later chicken and loads of veg tonight.

Hi
I'm Fasting (I prefer to call it Restricting) today. 2nd one for me and I feel great, have already lost 2 lbs and biggest trousers feel much more comfy, not so tight round the waist. Good luck everyone, keep going ... it's only until tomorrow, that's what keeps me going as well as my delicious herb & fruit teas.

Hi

I'm in for the first time.
Had instant porridge (Yuk) this morning 178Kcals and 2 cups coffee with a dash of semi skim. milk. Just coming up for lunchtime and I brought an emergency carrot (50g, 17Kcals) and 50g of cucumber (10kcals) but will try and get through with just liquid.

Will let you know how I feel after watching everyone else eating lunch.

We're in today too.

Working from one of the London offices today, and set next to the kitchen so everyone is wandering around with plates of hot food. Great!

Might need to go and get a bottle of Pepsi Max just to fill my belly with bubbles so that I can't hear it rumbling!

Fasting as well today,weetabix for a late lunch then count on us meal for tea

I agree Caroline. I went over 500 calories tonight, don't feel guilty because I had 22 hours without food and the plan is to do 3 fasts in total this week. Looking forward to it actually
My weakness got the best of me tonight

started today as well... brekky with apple, mandarin and banana... at 8-8.30 and then dinner at 6pm salad with tuna...thats it. most challenging time was around 2pm

Fasting today our usual Monday. It's a way of life!

Just completed my 6th fasting day. Feel very well. hardly hungry at all today although I did want comfort food due to stress. Very big lot of stress. But I did really well and I'm off to bed now. And tomorrow I can eat. Who hoo

Me! Went to see the film last night. Very good, I thought.

I'm also fasting today. Nothing to eat since teatime last night. Not sure what's for tea tonight, but it'll be 500 cals or less.

I think Restricting Day's a better name for it if you divide your calories so that you can eat during the fasting period.

I haven't been doing that, because I want to let my body have a day's rest twice a week. Also I've been reading about the body breaking down fat when it's run out of glucose (which takes 12 hours, apparently). In that case, I don't want to give my body anything that stops it going for the fat!

Fasting today:) Saving my 500 calories fot dinner. Looking forward to eat my tomatosalad and vegetarian burger:) Have a good fasting day everyone!

So glad to be fasting today after a week of no fasting and totally indulging every day.
Hopefully by tomorrow morning ill be feeling a lot less bloated and sluggish.
Having cottage cheese salad for dinner, and really looking forward to it.
Planning on doing ADF this week to get back on track.
I want to maintain this feel good feeling.
My friend told me last week I was the talk of the island as everyone was saying how much weight I've lost. Go me!
Good luck everyone.
