The FastDay Forum

Im in for today. Very hungry already at 9.40am looks like it might be a long day, funny though I havent felt like eating till the afternoons on feast days.

Not sure what I will be eating today but I will be drinking lots of hot tea to keep warm.

Weighed in this morning and very happy with progress. I do worry about body going into starvation mode as I just dont eat anywhere as much as I used too including feast days.

Have a great day everyone!

I'm here. Cold day in Melbourne too.

I'm in today too. Bitterly cold day today, even though it's sunny it's only 11 degrees at nearly midday. Rode my bike up the road to the shop earlier, and the wind just bit through my clothes and I arrived the other end so cold I could hardly talk. I remember riding to work in the SNOW in London and not being so cold.

Its still only 6:30 p.m. Sunday evening in L.A. - haven't had dinner yet and still enjoying a glass of wine. Still, will be in tormorrow with everyone, starting just after dinner in an hour or so. Good luck everyone.

Still Sunday night here in US but definitely fasting tomorrow! Had a great weekend (my son's birthday) so tomorrow is perfect for a fast.

Wishing everyone an easy and peaceful fast!! Looking forward to feeling GREAT and hopefully LIGHTER on Tuesday June 18

Hello! I'm in today, fasting from 7pm last night through to my 6pm dinner as usual.
I can't believe I went for my swim this morning in an outdoor pool. I think it's the coldest temp I've managed, 11 degrees.
It was mostly sunny though.
Might have to move to the indoor pool soon!
I think I'll have veges with grated cheese for dinner, and I have leftovers for the family which I'll top up with some more veges. All easy-peasy.
I find I'm happy to keep fast day food really simple and save my culinary skills(ha ha) for feast days.
Have a good day everyone.

Fasting today also weigh day, only lost 500g but hoping if that happens every week for a long while it will do, should I be losing more?

Another freezing Aussie joining in on the usual Monday fast. Currently warming my hands on a hot mug of coffee. Next meal will be porridge with blueberries tomorrow morning.

Cal, 500 g is just over a pound which is the average weekly weight loss on 5:2, so you're well on track!

Good luck everyone, keep warm!

Oh dear, my stomach is rumbling VERY loudly today!
Off out to visit Mum in the nursing home- hope she has the TV on as loud as usual.

I cant stop thinking about food today. Spent lunch looking up recipes. Keep thinking about what Im going to eat tomorrow. Must focus, only 5 hours to go.

Okay all you whiners....you only have a few hours to go, piece of cake! We haven't been to sleep yet in the US so we still have 20 hours to go.

Looking forward to fast tomorrow as was traveling alot this week-end so had a lot of time sitting in the car...and eating. Hoping weighin in the morning will still show results, if not though will assume it was the reduction of activity for the last 3 days...even though I did still manage my 10,000 steps each day. I try to track 15-18,000 on normal weekends, bummer!

Stay strong everyone!

GoLinda, I was enjoying my whining
Have a good fast when the time comes

I'm in. Early afternoon now and so far it has been a fairly easy day. Not hungry at all. Less than 4 hours to go till dinner!
