The FastDay Forum

Howdy! We seemed to have a lot of new fasters this week. I was just wondering how you all got on. Was it better than you expected?...or worse?!

Maybe they are all busy fasting.....

Mmm me thinks they've gone...disappeared!

Doing well! It's fast #1 for me and I'm almost done. I fasted a bit in in the spring and loved it, but got derailed by, well, life and am now all settled down and ready to get stuck in.

Nice to meet you

Hi! Thank for asking! I'm still here! On my third fast today. . My computer completely died this week so I'm visiting from my smartphone. :/ but I'm lurking! I already feel different and better at fasting. I've tried out spreading my calories and today, I'm holding off except I think for lunch, I'm going to have a boullion cube for broth. It's chilly here and it will warm me up an make me feel fed. I am really loving how easy this is. I am doing official weigh-in on Friday but as of this morning, I am down 5 lbs. Though I appreciate that scale weight is not the best way to see progress so I've taken photos and measurements. I honestly think I can stand this way of life forever. It's that manageable. I am counting calories on my feast days but I've been using MFP on and off since March. It's an eye opening and useful tool. I'd like to lose about 20 pounds. I get to about the 10 lbs left and then gain again. I really am hoping this WOE sees me to my goal. The very idea ignites a fire in me-or is that hunger pains? Haha The bad part is the rumbling noises my tummy makes. Other than that, I can't wait to have visible progress to tell people I know how awesome this is. I haven't read the book, just saw the Eat, Fast, Live Longer video. I'm really hoping this WOE is the answer for me. I'm willing to put in the time and effort. Plus all the other health benefits Im getting! Could it really be this simple? It seems to good to be true.

Glad to hear it's going so well for you! It really does seem to be the easiest way to lose weight doesn't it. Let's just hope it stays that way!! The end of your third fast is nearly over...hoorah! I for one am certainly looking forward to breakfast tomorrow although before that is my weigh-in...that I'm not so sure about! Good luck anyway!
