I'm fasting today...usually do Saturdays but decided to do an impromptu one today. Slightly regretting it now though as I woke up too late to heat up my soup for lunch and I'm having a rubbish day on placement. Grumpy Faye!

I forgot it was my regular Friday fast day and had a banana for breakfast and am now about to have salad for lunch. Not saying a banana is a bad choice, but I try to eat more proteins on a fast day!

I'm in!
Unfortunately I had a bad eating day yesterday, which means I couldn't sleep and went up at midnight to have a few oatcrackers and a glass of milk... :(
Not a good start on a fast but NEVER MIND!

Just had a quite productive study morning on coffee, and now heating up my favourite of all favourite; New York Skinny Minestrone Soup with 180 kcal. Lifesaver.
For dinner I'm planning on having some stir fry with mushrroms, onion and tomatoes, and will probably have some of those tomatoes for snack later on today.

Bring. It. On!

Yep, count me in for today. I usually do Monday and Thursday but swapped my days around this week to Tuesday and Friday. Been on another bloomin' plateau for the last 3 weeks so not super-motivated today and even though this is my 26th or 27th fast day I am absolutely starving hungry already. Hoping my weight in day tomorrow will cheer me up. Good luck all and sorry to be on such a downer :confused: !

I'm in today - usually fast on Thursday but I prefer to fast when I go to my office to work instead of working from home. I had to be in the office today when I am usually at home so I swapped home/office and feed/fast days between yesterday and today. I had a meeting all morning which helped keep my mind off food and it's now 12:40 and I don't feel too bad. It really does become second nature - I really don't find myself wishing I was eating today because I know my body needs the break from metabolism.

I have also been 30 Day Shredding, and on feed days I usually top up the exercise with 30-45 minutes on the bicycle. I don't do more than the 30DS on fast days as I think it would do my head and everything else in.

I'm planning on a Hairy Dieters grilled pepper/courgette/halloumi salad for my diner tonight and looking forward to it - halloumi is one of my favourites! I would usually have an M&S ready meal but I am trying to wean myself off them and eat "real" food instead...

Happy fasting everyone!

Today is meant to be a fast day for me too, but it's off to a rough start. Rumbling tummy like mad! I went to boot camp this morning and that usually kills my appetite for a few hours, but not today! I'm drinking black coffee trying to quiet the noise!

My calories may be a bit over 500 today, but it'll still be a nice low day.

Hang in there Fasters!

Count me in! I just had a nice lunch of spinach, onions, polenta and cottage cheese.
Good luck to all!!!

Lori, I'm sure you'll do fine!

I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. Counting down the minutes until it's an acceptable time to eat dinner! In the meantime I'm going to go bury my head in a textbook...

Today was my fast day but it is nearly midnight here so methinks it is time for bed.

Good luck fasters.

Feeling grumpy, headachey, cold and fed up!!! This weather doesn't help one bit!!
I had a Cuppa Soup, 2 crackers and a smidgeon of cheese at 1 o'clock and I am feeling desperate for my Minced beef Kheema and rice (recipe from Lavender & Lovage http://www.lavenderandlovage.com/2013/0 ... heema.html)
I'm trying to wait until about 7 o'clock to eat, but I'm not sure I'll manage it! I think I will go and try a drink of the ginger syrup that I bought at the weekend - a dash in fizzy water might be just what I need to keep myself going.

Hi to all Friday Fasters,
We're back from 2 weeks holiday and had a great time. BUT....we have both put on inches and pounds. If I hadnt have lost half a stone before the holiday I dread to think what I would weigh now.
Trying out Mimis fluffy prawn omlette (very good) and going for the Greek salad tonight. Keeping busy as the pangs are making themselves felt.

Im on my 2nd fast day today. I think my feed days this week have been a bit high due to over indulgence in wine. However, going to see the lion king tonight so should be a distraction

Oh this is not going very well... I'm hungry! Had some cherry tomatoes and cucumber and red tea to keep the hunger away for another hour or so - but it's not working.
I want white bread and fries and chocolate and cake!!!!!
