I'm in!
Really need it today. My SiL leaves today (home to San Francisco). We've had a lovely time, and actually I managed a couple of lower cal days, but I'm glad to have a couple of weeks till the next visitor. Mother in law.

Have a good day!

Ps. No Aussies here today? What's going on?!b

Yeh. Where is everyone???
I'm here today. Just starting to get hungry or more that uncomfortable emptyish feeling now around 5.20 in the afternnon, but will try and hold on till dinner. Good luck those waking uop across the seas.

Yes, I'm in as well. Just water so far, see how long I'll last on that. Plan is to have a light lunch (150 kcal) and save the rest of my calories for a stirfry tonight. Good luck everyone!

Morning/evening all, I'm in today. Just starting at work, the plan is for coffee with skimmed milk to get me through the day, then some raw vegetables tonight, perhaps with a cuppasoup. Good luck to all.

I'm in today, my first fast for about 10 days. I've been slipping and have put on a couple of pounds so I need to buckle down again.

Hello everyone, I'm on only my second ever fast day. I've been to the gym for an hour's workout and then a half hour swim. Just having a coffee and 20 calories jelly to get me through until a small lunch. Wish me luck!

I am in today. Just coffee/miso and herbal tea until this evening. Then I have a low fat chili and sugar free jelly. Yaaay.

I'm in today. Should have been yesterday but a combination of too much sun, wine and Andy Murray on Sunday meant I was a bit "under the weather".

Ate loads of rubbish yesterday and woke up hungry this morning so it might be a long haul. Luckily it's another scorcher here in Edinburgh so hopefully that will curb my appetite a bit.

Good luck everyone

I'm in today too, tried to do yesterday as had a bit of a feed fest over the weekend but just couldn't manage it. Struggling today though already, third cup of coffee down.
Won't be a proper fast for me today as it is MIL birthday but hope to not eat until we see her later and then keep portion small! Wish me luck! x

I'm in again today after yesterday's fast went completely to pot - ended up eating 2 bowls of cereal and then peanut butter from the jar, amongst other things! Think the problem was I started snacking too early in the day at work and then I couldn't stop eating.
Back to my usual routine of no food til 4pm, a couple of ryvita with cream cheese and tomatoes just to give me energy for the journey home, and then a light dinner (not sure exactly what yet).
Hopefully today will go better than yesterday did!

I'm in today, as I am every Tuesday. I won't eat anything until I get home, then I'll have a kid-size portion of whatever my husband makes for dinner. I can't be bothered counting calories but I figure if I eat the same size portion as my 6 year-old daughter I should be fine because I don't think she could down 450+ calories in one sitting.

Good luck all!

hi i'm in today usually do a monday but was celebrating my Dad's birthday yesterday sadly the first one without him so wasn't going to try a fast. Been sports day to watch my eldest and she's so slim and fit just like I used to be She's really spurred me on. With the heat I'm going with a salad for lunch and one for tea. Not going all day as I know I'll end up fainting. Good luck everyone!!

Feeling a bit grotty today though, dizzy and a little nauseous. Might be the heat. Bleugh.

Am in today as well. Good luck everyone.

I'm in. This is my 3rd proper fast (I attempted one on weekend, but ended up just having a 'lighter' eating day). I've just had lunch, (oven-baked) battered cod fillet and salad. It felt like a real treat! I'm finding having about a 100cal breakfast and an approx 300 cal lunch is working well for me. I can have a small snack later.

Happy fasting everyone!
