The FastDay Forum

Maybe saturday not the bestest of days to choose...but am giving the 16:8 thing a whirl
Just had some 10 cal jelly,11pm friday.
no more now til 4pm sat except water with lemon or just water or - wow- sparkling water,yay!
Gonna try some pomegranate and raspberry tea..fruit teas are not my bag ..i wd rather have a good strong cup of Pg with a splash of milk..
Is it ok to have the flavoured waters?

Good thing about my 16:8 is i can sleep thru some of it!


Best of luck to anyone else having a Repairing Sat'day! X

It does feel kinda lonely on this thread, we can be the salmon swimming against the tide. I,ve set my tracker to 500 and so far I,ve had 100. I am aiming for ketosis so the less the better. About 12 hours to go and I will be home free.

Saturday can be a lonely day to fast, so good luck to you both today!

Hi Jemima,Yeah feels like rather an unfestive Saturday coz we sort of associate saturday wit good times..a nice lunch or going for coffee n cake .wine,nibbles..so thanks for the support x and good luck Mystic! X

I'm fasting today, sneaking in with 3 this week, just cos I can. The family are away this weekend so I'm home alone working nights, just got up! So if I fast it saves me cooking and washing up

Good on ya Min ! So happy someone else is in the saturday gang!
I love yr signature!;) x

It could be good to fast while the family is away, but I expect I would feel deprived and self medicate. Good luck with your fast, the good thing about a smaller group is we can support each other and not have it get lost in a sea of threads.
Thanks for the support Jemima, it,s after midnight now and my cals are 470, success is just a sleep away, hope you all are well

I don't mind, in fact I'm loving the peace and quiet, no cries of " mummy I'm hungry" " wifey what's for dinner" dog looking expectant every time i move. I have my salmon, mushroom and scrambled egg concoction planned for dinner before I head off to work. It will be busy tonight being a weekend so will pass quickly.
I am at the moment feeling "zen"......cup of tea, feet up and my programme (uninterrupted ) on the tv. Bliss!

My hardest times are when making meals for the family, so it would make it much easier in that respect. Enjoy your Zen

Mystic, i love that you said,success is just a sleep away!
Also,all day ive been thinking about being a salmon swimming against the tide:)
Well done on a successful day Mystic and Min x
And minnie'smum..you sound so contented and snug! Its lovely sometimes to get some " me" time isnt it! X

Me too.

I do want to break the 13 stone barrier.

Haven't seen high 12s for a looooooooong time.

I know that feeling David! Only too too well....Keep the faith! X
