The FastDay Forum

Well here I am fasting on a Wednesday. Feels weird doing 5:2...woke up yesterday and thought I was fasting but no I decided to only do Sunday/Wed this week. I'll see how it pans out on the scales tomorrow and if it's looking nasty I'll do Friday day and eat more in the evening...well let's say I'll have some red carbs in the evening So far so good - woke early ...3am...not on purpose...had a coffee with milk, then later a black coffee, flask of 'souper' packed and a flask of black coffee and 2 bottles of water - yeah I'm like a camel on fast days...need another hump to carry all this stuff Good luck to all fasting today...I'll check in later on the downward slope

Hello I'll be joining you in the morning. It sounds so strange saying I enjoy my fast days, but I really do!

I'm in today. Second fast of the week and am hoping work will be busy to keep me focused:) best of luck to all who are fasting today

Me too. First proper fast in 6 weeks (been away cruising the Mediterranean - also been to chicken to weigh since I got back two days ago).
All the best everyone.

Second fast this week
Somehow I manged to gain all I lost last week .gained after a fast on Monday!
So have to lose 600 g this week to get back to last weeks weight
Black coffee til lunch,then very light lunch
Good luck all

I am in too And I am enjoying it too

Yes, I'll be fasting Wednesday in the U.S. - decided I like Mondays and Weds - just a day in-between is fine for me and its all over with 4 free days the rest of the week!!! Will do the same next week, especially as its 4th of July Holiday on the Thursday. Good luck everyone. I don't exactly "love" it but don't really mind it either.

I'm here. A lovely sunny but cold day. I've been for my walk. As soon as I've finished catching up here I'll start on today's project. Got some new music at choir last night. It's the Mahler 8 and it's very complex. I'll be going through the score and highlighting when my voice part comes in. Should do a good job of keeping my mind off food!

I'm in too! Second fast day of the week, had two cups of lovely strong tea so far. Trying to work myself up for a run, but feeling pretty lazy today.

Got some veggies all chopped up and ready to be cooked al dente, with some sprinkles of pepper on top - surprisingly tasty and very filling! Followed by some chicken soup with yet more veggies for tonight. Anyone else exercising today?

Well I'm on my way home and feeling good too @ about 160 cals so far, so plenty for dinner & a couple of 8 cal hot chocs. Weird weather we are having - sunny on the Central Coast, head to Sydney - pouring rain, sunny when I get home :>) Today I have had rain/sun/rain and thankfully headed to sun - I'll take the boys to the beach to chase birds and run like mad dogs!

Hi all I'm in today 2nd Fast for this week, busy day at work so a good day to do this, still struggling in the evening binge eating any advice

Good luck all

Me too. First proper fast in 6 weeks (been away cruising the Mediterranean - also been to chicken to weigh since I got back two days ago).
All the best everyone.

Me too, been a long time, feel hungry already, but at least I know that this is the start of getting back into a great routine!

Best of luck everyone.

Don't forget the water, 2ltrs min!

I'm in today! Had a couple weeks off cos been so busy and felt so shitty with a sinus cold I just couldn't bear to fast. On Monday it was 7 weeks till my hols so I'm back on it and feeling positive. Fasting today and Friday. Here goes.....

GMH seems weird that you're on your way home and I'm just starting the day. Sun is shining, boys have been walked and I'm about to hit the cross trainer. Second fast this week then weekend starts tomorrow.

Welcome back from cruising you lot - I don't feel sorry for you ;>) Lincsguy I have also been bingeing in the evening - worrying for me as I have never been a binger...well maybe a few too many drinks when I was younger LOL I have gone back to 5:2 from 4:3, because every 2nd day was feed/fast and I found I couldn't get to grips with the feeding - fasting fine. I have just tried some old fashioned will power until I find a way around it.
