The FastDay Forum

Good evening all,
I've been doing 5:2 since September with a fair bit of success.
I've found forums and threads to be really useful for motivation and ideas swaps.
Unfortunately I got evicted from my last forum at the weekend.
Luckily one of the stalwarts from there told me I should come and join the fun on here.

Fasted today : tub of chicken and lemon grass soup plus extra vegetables for supper.
Pancakes tomorrow!

Hi talkinpeace and welcome to the forum.

We are a pretty friendly bunch and no arguments so far!

I bet your old forum did not have a progress tracker like ours, hey? Do please add your data as more longer term info is much needed!

Welcome to the forum, tip! You'll soon feel at home, here!

Have you checked out the Progress Tracker, yet? It's pretty impressive!

And the smileys are pretty good, too, don't you think?

Meant to say, check out the flour and water pancakes tomorrow - saves a lot of hassle!

Fasted myself today - 510 calories all told. Those 90 spare calories are burning a hole in my pocket!

Hello Talk in Peace.. good to see you here. I've also been doing 5:2 for a while. im looking forward to joining you all here

where are the smilies B&W? I want to know if there are any pombears..

If you hit 'Post reply' instead of 'Quick reply', the smileys appear on the right.

No 'pombears' though - wasn't that hilarious?????

If you do hit 'Quick reply', you need to go to 'Full editor' to get the smileys.

The 60 is an optional icon to put by your post. You may have clicked on it by accident. Some of the older members requested a way of identifying posts relevant to their age group. You should be able to edit it away. Or I can do it for you.

I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks, mostly reading the "nerd" topics and enjoying the helpful way this forum is organized. Nice place! Seeing a few familiar faces from elsewhere, I figured it was time to join in.

I started IF for the health benefits - don't need to lose weight (by various measures I'm underweight - well, someone has to be at the lower end of the range). I'm now into the fourth month of doing a full fast (no calories) of at least 32 hours once a week and adding some calories on the other days. On fast days I get miserably cold and experience extreme hunger around the 21-hour mark, but otherwise it's going well and it's getting easier. The main thing is that my energy level is steadier and I feel much better in every way - physically, mentally, psychologically. At some point I may experiment with a different routine - perhaps the eat-stop-eat regimen - but for now I'm sticking with my version of 6:1.

Hi, I have been doing the fast diet since September and lost 20 lb on it. Happy to be here!

Good to see you tip. I don't post very often here but I do lurk.
