The FastDay Forum

My first full week of 5:2 and 5.6 pounds lost. Nothing lost yesterday, but I'm pleased just being the same after last night's macaroni and cheese blow-out.

Third-fast lunch today is 60g Tesco pepper-crusted kiln-smoked salmon, 100g (4 small) boiled Charlotte potatoes, and a handful of fresh spinach tossed in a non-fat dill vinaigrette.

Dinner is asparagus topped with a poached egg and a tablespoon of grated Parmesan, and a thin slice of garlic bread.

I've got to the stage where I look forward more to eating like this than the macaroni and cheese. You wouldn't think just a week of success would cause such big changes, but for the first time ever dieting doesn't feel like a burden.

H All, I'm in today, week 8 fast number 16. Found Mondays fast tough so am hoping that today's is easier. Stayed the same weight for a week, so hoping that it starts to shift again. Last ate at 7:30 last evening so already 14 hours in

Will have my customary green tea all day and save my calories for this evenings meal of fish and veggies (too cold for salad) will also look forward to my friends this evening, 10 calorie jelly and 40 calorie hot chocolate before bed.

Good luck all, we can do this, it's easy

I am on my 2nd fast day. I didnt sleep well either last night. Am in a crappy and very tired mood , but I thought I cannot let that get in the way. I also overate yesterday, so I am going spend today thinking of ways not to do that tomorrow. Good luck everyone. You lucky Australians have almost finished your fast day, so well done to you. I am in Spain and it is actually a sunny, warm day at last!!!!! Hopefully that will help lift my mood.

Hi all, I am fasting today. Had a good fast on Monday so hoping for another 'easy'ish' day today. Just on second black coffee and will then move to water and fruit tea later.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Ooh sunshine, what's that?!

Yes, I'm in for my usual Thursday fast. Kids having pizza for dinner but I will be strong! Actually, since starting 5:2, that kind of food holds less appeal!

Onward and downwards (weight wise )

Just cooked DH a beautiful asian meal but did not fold as am on downrun on my second liquid 36 fast. 8 am I break the fast which will mean emay44 you will nearly be done with your fast. Hope the day goes well in the northern hemisphere for fellow fasters. well nitey night

I'm in today as well, my 8th fast in my 4th week. Wow the time has gone fast since I started this journey. Looking forward to checking the scales. For some reason I felt tempted to cheat today but managed to be strong!
Nearly bedtime here in NZ so all the best to you with some hours to go yet on your fast day.

I'm back again after a few days off on holiday. Ate some good food so I know I've put on a couple of pounds, but I'm not going to stress about it, just quietly get on with the fasting routine. I'll get there in the end!

Fasting today - week 8 and I'm finding it pretty easy. Overate cakes at my inlaws yesterday, so really looking forward to 24hrs with little eating.

What a diverse lot we are from all these different countries having the same common goal - how good is that!!!

This aussie has another fast down - love this WOE

Have a good day/night everyone!

week 2, 4th fast. weight loss is fairly slow for me (so far only 0.5 kg), but we will see how it is on saturday after this second fast of the week. i ate a ton yesterday (popcorn, pizza, mac n cheese, fries!), so today might be a bit tough.

Hi from France, raining here as well, feel so sorry for all the holidaymakers wandering around the markets in raincoats.
I've lost count of what fast this is, just know I need to fast today after yesterdays Chinese meal....so far have had hot water and lemon juice and a cup of Bovril, tonights meal is cauliflower cheese with some roasted vegetables.
Hang in there, everyone, you know you enjoy it really. x

I'm in for my 4th fast. Got a feeling it might be a bit half-assed tho. I'm off for a weeks holiday after today and my second sight is predicting some wine in my very near future to celebrate

I had some cottage cheese for breakfast and will go all the way to dinner with just liquid, but after that who knows. You never know I might actually be good
But I doubt it

Morning All,
Also joining you for my usual Thursday fast. Trying to be really good this week as it's my birthday next week and just know that cake and things will be on the menu at work and home so not holding out much hope for fasting next week. But hey....allowed one week off!!
Water, black tea is the order of the day followed by mince and tatties for dinner.
Have a good one.

Hi all
I'm in today, hoping to hit my goal - 1lb to go....
It was my birthday last week bycress16, and I stayed the same - I'm sure you will too.
Good luck everyone!
