The FastDay Forum

I'm fasting again, however with horrible cold coming out. Perhaps it will do me good because of lots of hot drinks and panadol!
Wishing everyone a good day.

Morning all!
Who'se at it today then?
Third of the week for me and already I'm hungry! Not boding well.
I'll hold out as long as I can as I'm really trying to get back to 3 good fasts a week instead of 2 and a wee one. Really want to get a wee bit lighter but it's a hard task.
Making the Christmas cake today. It's still roasting hot and very unpleasant weather wise. Just can't see the end to this infernal heat...
Anyway, enough moans. I have a lot to be thankful for.
Who else is in today?

Hope you feel better @Katharina

I'm in. I have been away most of the week and could only manage 16:8. It feels a big difference to Fast_5. I need a good honest low cal fast day to get me back on track. Feel somewhat bloated.

Good morning Friday fasters. Not many here, where is everyone?
I'm hoping to keep focused and do a proper fast till dinner tonight. (But I have an oxo on standby) Have it all planned. That's the best way for me. Planning planning planning, chicken thighs, salad and asparagus. .
Good luck everyone.

Good morning fasters, I'm in. Wishing us all an easy fast Get well soon @Katharine

Hi, I'm planning at least for a 16:8, and will see how I feel then. Once it's late afternoon I often find I can just carry on, but will see.

Anyone else have no problems getting one fast day in, but find it difficult doing the second?

Good luck to all

If it's Friday, I must be fasting @Egduf - I think because I've been doing this since 2011, it's routine, I might have more trouble if I needed to keep changing my days, but this sequence works for me which probably says something about the predictability of my life. Hm.

It suits my DH too as he likes set routines to keep too even if he's travelling in different time zones. Back in early 2012 he tried going off-plan for 3 weeks that he spent when he was scarcely ever in the same time zone for 24hrs. He returned home bloated and 12 lbs heavier which proved to be very difficult to shift (uncharacteristically for him).

I'm fasting today too. Hubby and I will have salads tonight for our evening meal. I have a bit of a sore throat so hot tea will be my go to drink for the day.

I'm in today for the third time this week. Hope everyone has had / is having a great fast day!

Hi all I've been fasting today, just had a couple of oatcakes with a cheese triangle, will be making a sweet potato and peanut stew for dinner. No idea how many cals but I don't think it can be too high. Roll on dinner time and tomorrow - I'm RAVENOUS!

Hope you're all having a good day

Nearly home and looking forward to the weekend and a cosy night after all of this mizzly weather.

Tonight I'm baking: marmalade cake; whisky and spice biscuits; apricot and pine nut cookies; almond and pine nut macaroons; almond biscotti. If I have the time, I'll make some jam bars and fridge cake, otherwise, I'll bake those tomorrow with some bread.

Tonight's meal is white fish (haddock, I think) with aubergine in tomato, roast peppers and gold wax beans.
I hope that my fellow Friday fasters have a pleasant evening or day ahead of them.

I've had a good fast day today, not had dinner yet (chicken salad) and it's 9:30pm. It's in the kitchen ready so I'm going to wait for the next hunger pang and then go for it. Very pleased with self, 2 fast almost done this week, I think I'm back in the swing of things after the move, Yeah!! love this WOL
