The FastDay Forum

What????

Am I all alone????

Yes, it's a Saturday......and I am fasting!

You would too, if you were a tantalising .3 of a pound off entering a new "stone" category!

Throwing in an extra fast this week to see if I can leave the 14 stone area...Set myself quite a target for the Easter Challenge, so it really is time I got on with it!

All fingers are crossed. Just eating a bowl of soup, num num.

Have a great day all - whatever you are doing...

I'm fasting too! Hope you had a good fasting day I have been surprisingly not hungry, had dinner and am absolutely stuffed with 200 calories left!
I'm also doing 3 fasts this week as it's my first week and I have a bit of a problem with over eating on NFDs at the minute. Let me know how WI goes
And I hope I can get through this next 12 hour night shift.. breaking my fast at 9am
Good luck xx

Oh, @britney, good luck with fasting AND working shift work! Working nights used to play absolute havoc with my eating patterns, and my stress hormones. No longer, thank goodness! But I used to rely on food to get me through the day after my shift, to put me to sleep, and absolutely everything else! Hope it suits you better than me!

And happy fasting on my birthday!

Hi Britney - how nice to have some company! I know exactly how you feel re getting to grips with the non fast days! I can be as good as gold on fast days, but really struggle on some of the other days - continuing with my bad comfort eating habits of old.

Today has gone fine, thank goodness! Don't really like fasting at the weekend, but equally, I don't like being stuck on a plateau/putting weight on!

Am starting to think that 4:3 is the way forward for me, so am just going to see how it goes. I weigh in on a Monday morning, so will write a blog early next week & update you on any progress. Hope you will be pleased with your results too!

A very Happy Birthday to you, Jools! Glad to see you are not so hardcore that you would fast on such an auspicious day! Hope you have had a wonderful day xx
