The FastDay Forum

Second fast of the week for me. I find this one easier than my fast on Tuesday but probably because I know that weekend is nearly here. Keeping to water and tea ( which is probably just as well as a collague gave me some green tea bags this morning, as they don't like it!)Weigh day Friday this week, as we are away to Liverpool for the weekend.

Well today marks the start of a 3 day juice detox (after watching Fat sick and nearly dead). Did start off aiming for a 10 day detox but vegetables in this quantity work out expensive!!!! So will see how I feel after 3 days, I may decide to do the 10!!

Happy birthday wildmissus! Just back from work after fasting all day. Taking the kids swimming now and a bit worried that may bring on hunger pains as at the moment I feel fine and haven't been bothered all day really, but have had a very hectic one at work. If I'm ravenous I'll allow myself something later but sure knowing I have that option will bring out my stubborn side and I'll resist! Gets silly when you play mind games with yourself but if it works it's worth it! Happy fasting everyone :0)

Kim83, keep us posted on your juice detox. I had been juicing veggies every morning - it keeps the hunger at bay with minimal calories. Need to get back at it.

Happy birthday wildmissus

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. I'm have a birthday treat.........a diet Dr. Pepper (couldn't find a sarcastic smiley face).

Back home from parents evening for oldest daughter in third year - next year exams, blimey!!! So pleased/amazed with her, eg. she has gone from seriously struggling in maths - getting 4/25 in simple tests in primary school to doing very well in the top maths class for her year in the academy. She is still a pain in the rear at home!

Another fast day seems to have come and almost gone in a flash. Liquid fasting gets easier and easier. I do have moments when I think stuff it I'll just have something to eat but I am also more stubborn than I realised.

Four and a half hours left... Can I hold out?

Suchard, that's the beauty of 5:2 isn't it? If you need that toast, you have it. Tea and cake? Yes please!

I was so cranky all of yesterday. Think it was more the cold and work and a couple of other deadlines all colliding rather than fasting itself, but I suspect I'm going to be eating one of those fund raiser chocolates before the morning is out.

Yea
Completed 2 liquid 36 hour fasts successfully and am still alive and breathing.
The measurements are good, fast broken and I am reading smitten kitchen cookbook. If I have to eat more on my non fast days its a cook book which sure does not count calories.

Oh is that the cookbook from the blog Smitten Kitchen? I LOVE the blog, the homemade oreos recipe is my children's favourite of all the baked goods.

Yes got it for mothers day
Could not look at it first 36 fast but got brave yesterday and its lovely
She has a way with food

Hi kim83
Good luck with your juice detox.
I've just finished 4 days (was supposed to be 5 but I really want to eat today)
It was a fantastic experience. Day 1 & 2 were really hard, I had a dull headache and really low energy. But all that changed on day 3 and I felt fantastic .
Cleaning the juicer 4 times a day though is a total pain, still overall worth it.
Looking forward to some fruit salad this morning.

Happy belated birthday wildmissus.
Hope u have a fantastic night out with the girls.

Morning all, completed my 36hr fast, just off to work where are will enjoy my morning bagel and butter! Feeling good this morning and looking forward to the weekend! Well done to all Thursday fasters

Weigh in this morning, so after 1 week of staying the same and 1 week of gaining, today I have lost 1.6 kg. I always lose a big amount when my TOTM starts. I can see a pattern now, 2 weeks before TOTM I gain or stay the same and then I have a big loss. I never taught I will say this but I look forward to my TOTM now

Well done malteserr

I'm almost done with my first fast of the week. It's 9:15pm. Today has been easy compared to my weekend of eating that was so hard. I weighed myself this morning even though its not official weigh in day and I had put on three pounds in as many days eek.

I can't seem to get out of this binge/fast pattern. I've been on the diet almost two months now, hopefully it will stop soon.

Good luck to anyone else fasting today
