FastDay User Blogs

I did it! I got through yesterday (fast day) and my awful cold is getting better. The sun is shining and the rain has washed all the pollen out of the air. I lost 4 lbs my first week on this program (my weigh-in day is Monday morning, a fast day). Well, this morning I was curious to see how much weight I could drop after a fast day, so I weighed again (which I will not do on a regular basis . . . I was just curious), and the scale was down another 3 lbs. I'm going to weigh again tomorrow morning to see how my weight fluctuates after a feed day (again just curious). As most people have reported, I foresee an average loss per week of 1-2 lbs. But I managed well yesterday. My hardest time of day is when I get home from school and I'm flat fainting with hunger. Yesterday I got out a bowl of beautiful strawberries and ate about 4. That little snack helped me hang on until dinner which was 2 eggs and toast with a sliced tomato. Not too shabby. Right now I'm feeling empowered. I feel like I can do this. Of course, the program is still new and different. The hard times will come when the scale goes up inexplicably despite my best efforts. Those days always come. I'm going to try and be prepared. Coming to this forum is going to be my lifeline. I can already tell. Thanks ya'll!
