The FastDay Forum

Wow, I didn't realise Friday is such a quiet fasting day! I usually do Mondays and Thursdays but had something on yesterday so changed my fasting day to today. I think this is only the second time since I started on 5:2 in March that I've changed my fast day. Anyone else out there fasting with me? I'm contemplating maybe going water (and coffee!) only, to balance out the slight excesses of the past two days; will see how I feel when it's closer to dinner time. Good luck to my fellow fasters, and remember it's only one day...

Here too and struggling! Half way there though...

Hi AiriR,
I'm usually a Monday/Thurs faster too!
I've just arrived back yesterday from 5 days at Airlie Beach so decided to get straight back to fasting.
I'm finding it harder today, maybe the light dinner I had last night or else just being out of routine.
I started in March too and have only missed 2 fasts- one when I was sick and one this week.
I think I'll be kind to myself today though and if I go a little over my usual 450 cals I won't panic.
Have a good evening AiriR and anyone else out there!

Hello - early Friday here in the UK and today will be my 3rd fast day. I am fasting on Mondays and Fridays. I found myself looking forward to today's fast - weird or what? I am finding our current spell of glorious weather very helpful.

Morning all! I'm in Yes, Anne, I am finding the fasts keep me cool in this heat.

I'm in. Tummy grumbling at 230pm. I am hosting an event that involves food, which I'll have to ignore. I think it's going to be a long day.

I'm in for Friday and a quick glance at the menu planner tells me it's Baked Chicken. What bonehead planned that? (me) In this heat? Turn on the oven to roast a chicken? I think not. lol Crock Pot Chicken it is then.

Happy Friday Fast to All!

I'm having a go...I think. I'm normally a Monday / Thursday girl, but I did my two days on Monday and Weds this week. I thought I would have a go at 4:3, cos I'm getting close to the two week bikini holiday and I am still far away from the size of bikini I want to buy. I'm not feeling the love for this WOE this morning though.

im with you today. gonna be hot & sunny so should hopefully be easier than a cold day. am keeping busy & have lots planned so good luck everyone. shelley x

I am today, have a double shift at work so here from 8.00 to 9.00 tonight (not as bad as it sounds) so won't be able to get out and buy extras and have bought food with me. Am due to be going out with a friend tomorrow so thought it may help as I'll try to get straight to bed when I get in. Good luck everyone

Hello!

Today is my first ever fast day. I will do Monday and Thursday because it is nomally pizza night on Fridays for us but I wanted to start with this diet NOW and not just weight, I mean wait

Have only had water today. Will have my first meal at noon.

Good luck everyone!

Hello Friday fasters. This is my usual fasting day & still trying to repair my holiday weight increase. My OH is not joining me today because he has a business lunch & next week we will have to shift fasting to Tuesday because of meeting friends for lunch on Monday.
I am sitting in my conservatory with a lovely breeze but still a clear blue sky
I will just finish my coffee then exercise my right arm with ironing through a large pile of washed holiday clothes. Oh dear a penance for going on holiday but at least the lovely sun helped dry them quickly.

11.30 am and clearly 4:3 is not for me. In a few short hours it changed my whole outlook and I was feeling very deprived. I will be good today and have a lovely salad tonight, but I'm going to have lunch too and hopefully that way I'll be looking forward to Monday's 5:2 fast, like I have for the last 6 weeks. Good luck to the rest of you. It's a lovely day for it!

I'm in, like most of you, I'm usually a Mon/Thurs girl, but were invited to dinner by my ex and his wife...how weird was that, so no hope of fasting as she was on a mission to impress.....long story!
Cleaned the house so far, now going to sizzle in the pool for a while, it's only a small one, 5 strokes and turn, but I reckon swimming for 20 minutes is the thing that matters, not how often I turn...
Have allowed 30 cals for three cups of tea, then it's water or Pepsi max till I have Kashmiri chicken and loads of broccoli tonight...380 calories, just leaves enough for a taste of 60 cal lemon mousse...
Good luck to all

This is my second fast! Finding it ok so far.
