The FastDay Forum

It's time for the first liquid fast of 2014 for me; anyone else joining me today? I'm distracting myself with taking down the Christmas decorations and going to a special screening of The Book Thief tonight. Finished reading the book yesterday and loved it; will be interesting to see what the film is like; Geoffrey Rush will be on hand for a Q&A as well so really looking forward to it.

Enjoy your day everyone, whatever you're doing!

I'm back on board tomorrow, not sure whether it'll be a liquid only fast as I've not fasted in so long I may feel like I'm starting again and need to build up to the liquid only! Will see how I go! Happy fasting all :0)

Morning all. My first LF this year too - I fasted last week, and had a small evening meal, I'm ready to LF today. First day back at work, the alarm wasn't funny this morning. A bit of me is happy to be back to routine though.

Good luck everyone

Well, it's 4pm and so far, so easy! Really thought I'd struggle today, so looking like straight liquid fast for me! Whoop!

Bit iffy this afternoon, but feeling OK now, so sure I'll make it through. Really hoping for a good nights sleep, and to be full of energy tomoz .

I've been liquid fasting today but I feel dreadful now. Really sore head, light-headed, queasy and noise sensitive - a bit of a migraine I guess, it's been a very long time since I felt this bad. Just got a few more things to do tonight (or get the girls to do them for me) and then I off for a bath to warm up and an early night.

Given in the the hot choc, still pretty good for my first fast back and I'm cold and needed the warmth! Sounds like a tough fast day all round, bring on the spring!

Sorry I didn't join you all yesterday, had a couple of girlfriends visiting so had lunch in a pub instead of fasting
@Wildmissus hope you felt better today? I've been liquid fasting today instead..... feeling very cold and heady so I've donned my Christmas union jack onesie and am now feeling snug and warm (just hope no-one comes to the door 'cos I'm not answering it dressed like this!!!). Glad in some ways to have the festivities behind us and the new year under way so that I can get my head down and back on to liquid fasting properly - need to get serious again and get that graph heading in the downward direction soon. Hope to catch some of you later in the week... or around the forum on other threads

Thanks @Suchard007 getting better still a bit woosey. Liquid fast successfully completed. However, I have started having half a glass of milk before I go to bed to help me sleep. I think it is working.

I have also joined the low carbers tent along with @Minumonline. We are trying to reduce our carb intake in order to get the weight loss going again and to lose the wobbly bellies.

Hi all, I did a 36 liquid hour fast on Friday. It was worth all the suffering as my stomach felt lovely in the morning (till I ate lunch, then the elastic gave way once more). I did an ordinary 500 calorie fast yesterday.
I have noticed the day after a fast, usually the following evening I begin to get weird muscle and joint pain/throbbing, like needles. I have also felt off- having to head to bed a few times. Has anybody else noticed anything like this? There is definitely a correlation between the pain and fasting.
Puzzled.

Second fast of the week today, woke at 4.30 the day after my first fast back Monday, forgot about that happening at the beginning, hoping it doesn't happen tomorrow! Got the dentist later as lost half a back tooth yesterday eating a cookie! Happy Wednesday fasting! :0)

Looks like just me in today! I'm heading to bed having managed the day, so feel back on track for fasting again! Did have a sneaky hot choc before bed so going to aim to lose that next week, as I'm on a roll this week I think I may chuck in an extra half fast/possibly full fast on Friday to wrap up my week and maximise my weight loss and hopefully the pesky Christmas lbs I've gained! Good luck all fasting tomorrow :0)

I'm just finishing my lf today. Had a bit of a wobble earlier when it felt like I could have eaten anything not nailed down but that passed thankfully. First lf of the year and haven't done it for the 2 weeks over Christmas. Just getting back into the groove

I'm in today (Thurs). Our weather is all cold and drizzly today, so I'm cold, and that doesn't help. But other than that, should be smooth sailing.

I'm in today. Weight has almost all gone back on since Monday's fast, despite low-Carb and 16:8

On the good side, OH bought me a onesie yesterday (I know, I know) in a size..... SMALL - and it fits perfectly

Good luck everyone today
