The FastDay Forum

I'm in today and I am struggling. Good lesson for me to make sure I don't have a late night before a fast day - the fatigue isn't helping my crabby fasting mood. Just keep focusing on a new (weigh-in) day tomorrow!

Thank goodness I pre- prepared some dinner. Not sure how I'd have gone without that to head towards today.

Good luck to all you Tuesday fasters this week - hope your day flies!

It can't just be the 2 of us surely Otter

I'm in too, I had a bit of a silly day yesterday and ate a lot of rubbish I didn't really want or enjoy, so I'm glad to be back on a Fast today.

I'm planning a Waitrose low cal fish pie for dinner with some runner beans from the garden. I will keep busy doing housework - which my house really needs

Good luck all

I am in today as well, even if we go to the restaurant tonight.

Had a coffee and will have some lemon berry juice later in the day.

Otter, don't worry it happens from time to time. I think you shouldn't focuse on tomorrow, it puts some pressure you don't need right now, just focuse on today, how you feel, what you accomplished, etc.

Good luck

Hi Guys,
Im in aswell today....wish me luck,Ive just had 2 weeks away eating all inclusive! Normally I would go through to tea at 500 cals but I already,this morning,want to eat my arm off so,Ive just had a poached egg and 2 slices of lean ham,hoping that will get me through! Have a good day all!

Good luck, everyone.

I'm in today, first ever fast day last Friday and so proud of myself when I had done it but then couldn't think about the next one. Now, after a busy weekend of friends over for dinner etc I am so ready for today. 0 fat Greek yog and a few raspberries in. So nice to be starting in the summer as I certainly have less inclination to hibernate!

Im in too! First fast after 12 days of annual leave and im already hungry so know that I am going to find it a struggle today (well that and also having to work after 12 days off will be an almighty struggle lol). Going to try and do some excercise when I get back from the office whether it's a walk along the sea front or a stint on the cross trainer. Good luck everyone, I will check in again later

I'm in with everyone today... I have been having guests staying over for a week so I missed my Monday's and therfore am glad to be here making up for the missed one yesterday. Keep up the good work everyone!

Morning all,ide like to add to the numbers for today this is my 2nd week of fasting.... ime having a bit of a lazy morning as i overdone it yesterday with the eating and feel very sluggish this morning!!! ive decided not to have anything to eat until lunchtime, as yet ime unsure what i will have but i am having salmon for dinner.... yumm yumm, happy fasting and i will see you on the otherside tomorrow x

Morning,

I'm in today. Second week back on plan. Motivation was a bit sluggish this morning as I had quite an appetite when I woke up but I've reminded myself I won't get any hungrier and I haven't so I'm feeling better now

I skip breakfast and lunch on fasting days as that works better for me so I have dinner planned for tonight. My next fast will be a challenge as I'm travelling to London to work from our office there for the day. I'm out at 6am and I'm not expecting to get home until 9pm so it's a long day and I'll be faced with service station food choices. I'll have to find one with an M&S outlet...

I'm in today too. I tried yesterday but I failed in the afternoon and scoffed loads! I seem to be losing my resolve and wandering if I might go back to my previous way of calories counting and having a 500 cal deficit each day. I lost more weight that way. I guess I'll give this WOE a few more weeks to see what happens.

Sorry... i know this is not the place to post this but i could't find a new post it bit....i was wondering when is the best day to weigh-in, for some reason this is confusing me, should i weigh today? or tomorrow after my fast? or thurs my 2nd fast day or fri post fast day!!!!! see its sooooo confusing me..... x

Hey Jules - personally I weigh weekly, they morning after my first fast of the week (Im fasting today, so I'll weigh in tomorrow morning).

I don't think there is a "right" time to weigh yourself, it's whatever suits you. Looking around this forum their are daily weighers, weekly weighers, monthly weighers and also a mic of night vs morning weighers.

For me, I just try and pick a consistent time so I can avoid too much inconsistencies with day to day fluctuations.

Whenever you decide to weigh - make sure it's a good time for you and try not to give too much power to the scales - there are lots of other indicators of success - clothing, health, and just sticking with it!

All the best with it!

Today is my first day on the program; first day of fasting. I bought the book yesterday and got very motivated. Day 1 fasting is much tougher than I had imagined. I have had an egg for breakfast and it's getting close to dinner time. Can't wait to get home from work and eat! I have vegetable lentil soup ready to eat. Do the fasting days get easier the longer you are on the program?

I'm in also today.
It was a bank holiday weekend here so after major indulgences in food and drink,at a festival, I am happy to be fasting today (it was brilliant fun though)

Nartasha. The fasting does get easier. It's like your body gets used to it.
I fill up on water and coffee throughout the day and that helps me get to dinnertime. Once you make it to that time of the day you usually make it through to the next day. You can always go to bed early if you're starting to feel peckish in the late evening.

Also keep busy. If you distract yourself when you feel hungry it will pass. The worse thing is to be idle just thinking about how hungry you are.

Good Luck
