The FastDay Forum

In the last three weeks I have had a succession of celebrations!

OH's birthday - all our favourite foods, plus yummy chocolate cake.

My friends 40th birthday buffet - 'go on, there's loads left - have more...'

My birthday - home-made chocolate fudge squares made with sour cream and coffee taken to work to share. Meal out, two boxes of Thorntons chocs...

Friends farewell party - another buffet - delicious brie...

End of term celebrations at school - BBQ, with 3 types of flavoured sausages (gotta taste them all...),plus my speciality - very decadent Double Chocolate Mousse cake.

Daughter's exam success meal out (clever girly with a 2:1 in Anatomy) - Mexican with cocktails!!

So ok, after the first week I did put on 2 lbs, but that was after a big loss the week before, so may have been partly a blip...

Lost 1lb the second week, and the second pound this week

So after all that yummy food I have not gained anything. I am happy with that - normally a few weeks like this would see me 1/2 a stone heavier!! This diet suits me!

Isn't it wonderful. You might not lose weight after a week or two like that but not gaining is just as good. Hope you birthday was wonderful!!!!

Well done it sounds like you managed to dodge the calories.
Do us all a favour and DON'T post the recipe for that Mousse cake

Fingers crossed that I have your same success after having a very over indulgent weekend, plus out to dinner and bon jovi concert tonight, which will involve wine of course, then I'm off on holiday on Saturday, I have been feeling anxious about this but your post has reassured me that it doesn't all have to fall apart. Well done!!!!!

I have been scoffing as well on non-fast days due to various celebrations and events. Dreading my weigh in tomorrow.

Glad your results have worked out, after my holiday I didn't get on scales on return + took me one week of being very good + 4:3 to return same reading as my departure, that's the joy of this woe no guilt at all just enjoyment then jump back on board
Rawsy I'm so jealous BON JOVI Sue

I had a real blowout weekend - my son's sports day on Saturday with a picnic with fried chicken, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and a fair bit of wine, as well as a pub dinner and lunch scattered in there. I also didn't have as much time to exercise as I normally do. I was down a pound on the week - I'm thrilled!
