The FastDay Forum

Hi everyone, I'm going away on holiday for 1 week, so I thought I would fast in anticipation of perhaps not fasting again for a week. So far so good, it's 12:50pm on a windy, cold Melbourne day…really inspiring But I'm getting there.

Hi @Chinchin I'm not fasting but wanted to wish you a happy holiday, where are you off too?

Happy holiday chinchin! And have a fab friday all fantastic friday fasters! X

I'm back here for my Friday fast and have done well since the one on Tuesday. I have focused on counting and reducing carbs properly to 100g per day(MFP)and I feel sure it helped me drop 2 lbs (of water?).
So here's hoping I can lose some more. I feel well and motivated.
Happy holiday@chinchin! And a great day to all fellow fasters today!

I'm in, third of the week. Plans went a bit skew wiff yesterday, but it was still a 16:8 so can't be too bad.
Fully intending a fast today , it's the weekend, so may get a bit waylaid.
black coffee and motivation.
Have a good holiday @chinchin and a god friday fast to all

Thanks @Wineoclock, @CandiceMarie, @Katharina and @janeg,
We are going to Adelaide in South Australia to visit my elderly father-in-law. A holiday in Adelaide is a regular event for us. Happy fasting everyone.

Have a good holiday chinchin
I am fasting today for the third time this week & also trying to keep my carb intake low! I have also been daily weighing & feel encouraged that the scales are showing a reduction in my weight. I weigh in tomorrow & hope I have lost at least one pound. No food today until supper just water & coffee. Just off to exercise to my Jane Fonda DVD then do more ironing

Hi all I'm in today, water and coffee until dinner. I have no idea what that will be as for some reason I neglected to plan that one! Think I may have to take a stroll down to the supermarket and see what takes my fancy......avoiding all the cakes, crisps, fresh bread....maybe I'll stay home and have salad and a couple of boiled eggs!!

I'm in for a friday fast. Good luck everyone.

Enjoy Adelaide, @chinchin I was there at the start of May, attending the opening of the Mother Nature Is a Lesbian Exhibition: Political Prints in SA from the 70s and 80s. It's still on - at the State Library, if you want to see it. It's just in North Terrace, so not hard to get to. Adelaide can be very cold and the houses are not well heated, just saying. But the buses are free for anyone over 60, I think, at non peak times so take your seniors card if you have one. This applies to non South Australians but you have to take your seniors card to the Metro shop on the corner of Currie Street and King William Street. Probably TMI! Probably you're 25 or something!

Hi @Sallyo, thanks for the info much appreciated. Ah, I'm over 25…way, way over.

I'm in too, my second of the week as Mondays fast crash and burned (in a good cause). Wednesdays fast went well and I am hoping for another good one today. Yesterday I was only slightly out of control instead of being totally out of control. So I have my fingers crossed I will back under the 240lb mark by tomorrow morning. Very sore muscle mean I am probably holding a couple of pounds of water, they are so sore I only just managed to raise an ice cream cone to my mouth by supporting one arm on top of the other.
