The FastDay Forum

Have had quite a "fat" weekend and looking all forward to my fasting day tomorrow! Never thought I would feel that way. Tomorrow will be my 4th fast, last week I managed to lose 1.2kg! which is about 3lbs for those who don't do kgs This week I'm tempted to do 3 fasting days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Read in a magazine that you can do 1:1 if you wanted to really boost the diet, but thinking 3 times a week will be enough for me.

I can feel I can eat less already, and yet I was stupid enough to try and push it yesterday at breakfast, and ended up feeling sick for hours after so from now on I'll admit to myself that I need to listen to my body and that its actually good for me to eat less

Hope the rest of you are feeling good about the lifestyle, I sure am starting to love it!

Me too. I really enjoy the feeling of resting my body so that it can recover from the over indulgences of the weekend. When I reach my target weight I definitely plan to move to 6:1 and make Monday my one fast day each week. Have a good week Snowsky, it is good to hear that you are enjoying this WOL.

My hubby and I are starting tomorrow. We are actually looking forward to it as well.

My hubby havent yet embrased the idea, which is a shame cus he really wants/needs to lose quite a lot of weight, but can only hope that when he sees my good results that he will give it a try.

hmm me too
and I have been a diet failure for years.
I have a big salad with dressing (55 cals) and 4 crackers (88 cals) to take for lunch and an m&s moussake (280 cals) for dinner. That dinner looks more substantial than the dinners I have had these last 3 weeks, so I'm looking forward to both the achievement and the full feeling after the dinner.
6.5 pounds down so far, and have only suffered for 6 days!
Good luck to all fasters, new and old tomorrow!

Fasting tomorrow also . My husband and I are supporting each other. We have tried all the diets but found we always gained it back and then some. We now have a life plan and we are embracing this. Everybody supporting each other with advice and tips

Will be joining you too, my fourth fast tomorrow!
I am really looking forward to this one, today I had way too much roast chicken etc., for dinner and paying the price for it now, I feel totally stuffed and very remorseful! I think my appetite has naturally reduced itself a bit and have resolved not to panick eat!!

Tomorrow will be my first fast. I'm quite looking forward to trying this new way of relating to food.

Good luck, Swuddly!!

My 2nd fasting day tomorrow as well. Hope to improve on my performance from Friday when I went over by 100 calories. All stocked up on teas and some light soup for lunch. Looking forward to the challenge! Good luck!

I have just completed my fast today. Monday. But I enjoy this forum very much and it has ticked into Tuesday. I cannot agree more. After what now feels like a stodgy weekend ( which has in fact been my life) I really enjoy the Monday fast. Actually I enjoy the Thursday one too as it sets me up for a great start to the weekend. I also enjoy the Thursday weigh in. I find it harder to stop jumping on the scales than keeping to the 600 calories.

I have been a pig today! Feel so full I could roll down hill and flatpack a house if I landed on it!
Really glad tomorrow is another fasting day (my 3rd this week), but wanted 3 since I knew today would be a food orgie so ready for a fast day!

My 2nd fast day tomorrow!

I have planned food AND stuff to keep me busy, now i just have to drink more...im gonna look at using juice in my calories cos altho i like green/white tea i cant drink it all day...maybe 4 cups a day and thats maximum

I drink black tea as well! Cant manage on just white/green tea, dont like it that much, so drinking black tea!

I was going to fast tomorrow, but woke up feeling fasty, so Im doing it today! Ive tried loads of diets, what other diet makes you look forward to deprivation?!
