The FastDay Forum

I can't believe I'm the first one on Fasting today, today. It's already 11 am. I'm a Thursday faster but we were invited out last night to wine and cheese and jazz, so we decided to do today instead.
I've just received my 5:2 Fasting Diet Recipe book, so I'm all inspired. Today is the start of my 5 days off; I only work Wednesdays and Thursdays. So I had spinach, mushrooms, capsicums and poached egg for breakfast. I did miss the toast. And I've chosen the beetroot and apple soup for dinner tonight. I discovered miso soup in little plastic sleeves so I've started having them at lunch time and that eliminates the ravenous afternoon. Happy fasting Friday fasters.

I'm fasting today - a 36hour liquids fast as usual. I am also a Thursday faster usually, but I was in a rrreeeaaaallllyyy foul mood and was so on edge for a group presentation that my group members managed to convince me to change it. I'm glad I did. I think being in the wrong mindset for a fast can make it a really negative experience when it shouldn't be. I'm all set for today though!
Happy Friday Fast!!

Im in today also!
4th fast and its definately getting easier, although i cannot wait for a nice big fat glass of wine tomorrow!!!

I'm in

Don't usually fast on a Friday 'cos it's croissant day t work, but visitors have invoked the flexibility clause in 5:2 & I've had to change around.

Looking forward to feeling 'cleaner' soon

I'm in too, with Hubby. We usually do Thursday but on Wed I was so anxious that Hub said maybe we should leave it a day. A good idea for us as usually we have a couple of glasses on a Friday!!! I used to drink a glass or three practically everyday. It is amazing but after two fasting weeks I really dont miss it. The amazing thing is that my Hub has also cut down on the booze to support me. I am in shock, good shock though. I hope everyone has a super day.

BTW I am 36 hour liquid fasting.

I'm in. Normal fasting day for me today. I'm going until dinner time. I don't drink anywhere near as much as I used to too, and I'm not fussed either.

Count me in too, last fast of the week No meal planned yet so I'll have to get sorting that soon

I'm in too, I usually do Thursday but was invited for lunch yesterday so I moved my fast day to today. I'm planning on eating lunch and dinner today, but depending on what happens I could skip lunch...

Have a good day everyone!

I'm in also a usual Thursday faster but the bank holiday and just getting back from holiday have meant a re-jig!

At work all day so no breakfast, lots of green tea and a slim-a-soup for lunch, then more soup for dinner it would seem! Has anyone got a recipe for a low cal carrot soup?

Fasting today. I went for a colleague's leaving meal last night, so I couldn't fast yesterday. This morning I'm both very hungry and hungover but I really want to do the fast today as I hate missing fasting days. I normally fast on Mondays and Wednesdays/Thursdays but this has been an unusual week.
Wish me luck...

I'm in too - porridge for late brekker at 11.15 and then lots of water until 7pm and baked salmon and salad. Did my first ever fast on Tuesday of this week and apparently I can't add up as I only had 346 cals the whole day! Doh! so annoyed, but secretly pleased too!

Good luck and well done you for fasting with a hangover. Just remember in a few hours it will all be over!!!!!

I am very pleased with myself. I have just done the Davina intense!!!!

Well there seems to be a lot of us Thursday fasters who are fasting on a Friday! I stayed at my Mum's on Wednesday night and had eaten breakfast with her yesterday before I realised what day it was! Could probably have salvaged it but was then so hungry all day!

I am sort of fasting today - we are out for dinner for a friends birthday tonight so I plan to eat nothing until then and hopefully go for the healthiest option on the menu but will probably end up going for whatever I fancy!

Monthly weigh in for me on Sunday so will try and be good Saturday to but no way I can fast at a weekend!!

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good Morning Count me in today, this is my thrid fast this week.Good luck everyone.
