The FastDay Forum

Hey @Karenm, Hey @riel
I think we should be 5:2 /Fastday buddies. What do you think?
@riel I posted a "buddy-up" message a couple of weeks ago (see above in this thread) but didn't hear, I think it was at a time you were having some family and other difficulties. Also I thought I had private messaged you but apparently I didn't because I can't find a record of it.
@Karenm, I enjoy reading your posts and would like to be buddies for support.
I am about 5 hours off from your time zone but not usually a problem on this global site.

Buddies, yes?

Hi, @Judithn I have been away, my sister had been in hospital and my job has meant I have been working from 07:00 each day, so haven't had time to visit. If you want to be buddies I would love it. We have just had a Canadian arrive into the family. My niece who has emigrated has just had a son, he is about 5 weeks old, she now lives in the Calgary area.

Great @Riel! Buddies it is It does sound like your plate (of life) is rather full at present. Hope you are still able to stick to your 5:2 plan despite that. How is it going?

Congratulations on your ?grand nephew (is that what he is..I get so confused about these relationships).
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi, @Judithn, I do have a few problems at the moment, different sister this time and for the next week I can't think about fasting. I am going to try and keep the calories to a minimum. I am going to be helping her out for most of this week so if you don't hear much from me for this time sorry, but I do have to support her, will be back on track, hopefully , next week.

Hi @Juliana.Rivers
@Riel and I have buddied up if you want to add us to your list.

thanks @Juliana.Rivers,

I'm actually wanting to be a buddy to someone...and a different person to buddy me.
So the person I'm looking out for is different to the person looking out for me.
I think they call this process sponsoring in AA's.
I'm sure there is someone out there who would benefit from my care and I would certainly be open to someone being there just for me to get through this.
If anyone has a curiosity please PM me or chat out here.
You're welcome to ask more questions.
kindly
Jo

@SarahG I have added you to the first post in this thread.
All the best.

What a great idea, can I ask for a buddy please ? I need a kick every now and then to stop me slipping back. I got to my target about 18 months ago and then let it slip so started again in April this year. I had about 6kg to loose, middle age spread ! I have reached my target again and have been maintaining, regularly doing 16:8 and the odd fast when necessary. But I know as soon as the dark evenings come along I'll find it difficult. My fitbit zip helps, but a real person nagging would be great....I am apparently quite good at nagging too ! Anybody similar out there ?

All the best for your journey.

Hey all.. and especially newcomers.. are you looking for a fasting buddy.. check out post 1 of this thread... i think some people are looking for buddies.

Hi, @Rbrum my fasting buddy hasn't made contact in quite a while. I would love to connect with another faster as well as Rbrum, especially for the Christmas challenge. Is there a limit on the number of fasting buddies one can have?

Theres are a few threesomes around. think there is even a fivesome.

no real limit though i guess 5 should be the max.

in a way the entire active forum group is my buddy

You're right @Juliana.Rivers, when put that way there is an abundance of fasting buddies.

Yes, that means we all have at least 500 buddies if we count only the "active" members online. some people sign up and then stay for only a bit or are just observers. i wonder if @Moogieknows how many active members there are.. ie members who have say posted a reply at least once in last 3 months.
the forum gets nearly 20 new members a day.

There may be 17,000 members that have signed up here.. memberlist.php
but how many are active?
Hey if you click on posts they are i order of number of posts.. ive done a massive 2485 ranking me 15th. What a home ive made here lol

I would like a fasting buddy if I'm not too late. Would be awesome to help someone and be helped on our weight loss goals....
