The FastDay Forum

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to try and enjoy myself over the weekend without worrying too much.

Just had my first meal of the day about 200 calories and now off for a walk, feeling a bit sluggish today - looking forward to something light and warm for dinner then a big sleep!

I'm fasting today. Fasting and flying. I've got my carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes in case I get hungry.

I'm in today, and going really well compared to Tues. It's my 4th fast and normally I would of eaten by now but I havent needed to. You never really know how fast day will go until you progress through the day.

Hoping to get to sleep soon and wake up to join you all. I find Thursday fasts a tad more challenging than Monday's. Think I'm just so glad to rest from eating after the typical weekends for Monday.

I'm in as usual. It's miserable, cold and wet day here so sitting close to the heater is about all I want to do! About to make some coffee; my only meal of the day which is dinner is still quite a few hours away. Having fresh pasta with Napoli sauce...

Kiwi, I agree what's already been said. The beauty of 5:2 is that it allows you to live a normal life which every now and then includes celebrations. So don't stress but enjoy; after all this is not a race!

Wishing everyone a successful day!

I'm fasting Monday - Thursday this week, so I'm in. I am planning for the main meal to be an omelet or cheesy eggs with bacon. Will probably have vegetable soup, also. Hope everyone has a great fast day!

I'm in too. I weighed yesterday and was down 1 lb from last week which is fine with me and motivates me for today. The weather seems to have skipped Summer and jumped straight to Autumn here and I have finished my store of frozen Vegetable soup so I will be making a big pot of that for emergency back up in case I need something more than liquids before dinner.
Good Luck every one

I'm in today - 50th fast of the year, last of the trial 4:3 and last fast before MY HOLIDAYS. What with the added energy I've been getting and the slight difficullty getting to sleep on fast days , and the small bit of excitement thats GUSHING IN, I could be up and about for the next 36 hours! HAve a good one all!

Hi all I am doing 16 8 today so I am fasting till 1pm, then tomorrow doing a whole day liquid fast. Hopefully this will cancel out earlier excesses. Good luck everyone!!

Fasting today and feeling a bit weak and lightheaded, not like me. 2nd fast of week, usually tomorrow but other things going on. At least it's day off and home today. Good luck to everyone else!

Janet have a lovely holiday and how inspiring 50 fasts. Now there is one determined woman, good on you

Oops I hadn't considered the sprint I would have to do through Narita to catch my flight! I hope Chicago is kinder to me.

Morning all, I'm in, 11th week 20th fast. Green tea till tonight then vegetables with an omelette. I would have salad usually but it's so cccccold, grey and miserable. Thinking roasted mushrooms and peppers.

I did 16:8 yesterday, went out on a late night shopping expedition (very successful ) and when I got home I so needed a cuppa that I had one with milk outside of my 8 hour window. So there!!!!

Good luck everyone, have a good day

Was at the NEC Good Food show yesterday, lots of snacky munchies

So today is most certainly a fast day
