The FastDay Forum

Looks as though I am first up today with fasting. This is my third of the week, and next week I shall try fasting interspersed with 16:8.

It is icy at home here so I have been out breaking the ice on the ponds for the birds although I am not too happy with them having woken me up fighting on the balcony outside my room!
Hobart's Salamanca Market tomorrow for a treat - hurrah!!

Hi Debs

I didn't think I was going to fast today either, but I skipped breakfast due to a fasting blood test and have just kept going! Hey!

It is heating up in Brisbane, threatening rain and generally humid with more to come. I wish I was in Hobart!!

BTW, I haven't heard of 16:8 yet (I'm sure I could peruse the forum and find out more)... can you briefly explain if/when you have a chance?

Bravo for today!

Like your avatar btw, I'm a fan too!!
There is quite a bit of info on 16:8 on the forum, but essentially you have a an 8 hour window in a 24 day to consume your calories without stuffing yourself sideways during that time!!
I've become quite good at not needing breakfast so it seems like a good way to increase my willpower during the week without depriving myself completely. I put on too many kgs on holiday so I'm trying to make a dent in them asap!
Hobart is pretty at the moment with snow on Mt Wellington. We lived in Brisbane for a while, I remember some classic thunderstorms there!

I'm fasting today - I should have been yesterday but I didn't feel well so I'm going to try today instead, although I still don't feel 100%. Wondering if I might be starting a cold... Actually all I want to do is lie in bed and drink tea and eat toast but there is work to be done and a sick cat to take to the vet. Just hoping that will all preoccupy me enough not to think about food.

My two 'official' fasts are done for this week but I've kept calories low today so that I can enjoy myself tonight.
Just had some soup and a large diet energy drink all day so that I can enjoy sushi for dinner and vodka and sodas tonight.
I'm sure I will go over my TDEE a little but it is Friday and sushi isn't that bad and vodka is the lowest cal alcoholic drink.. makes me feel a bit better anyway.
Hope everyone who is fasting properly is going good.

Hi all!

fasting today as well, at work so should be ok,black coffee now..
happy fasting everyone!!!!!!!!!

I'm in, with a busy day so hopefully it'll be a breeze

I'm fasting today. Two days on a business trip and I'm actually looking forward to no food!

Me too. In for fast today, 3rd this week.
Think mayb Totm which may explain why I'm sooo bloated. Couldn't understand why after a good week and extra fast day. Hopefully this explains it.
Have soup for lunch and fish with big salad for tea. Usually don't have much on fast days but feeling I need a little more food today (obv still under the 500 limit)
Happy fasting all x

I'm in last fast of the week and another 2 lb loss now lost 4 stone (56 lb)

Today is my second fasting day....going well so far..thank God for black coffee!! At work until 2pm then home for some leftover veg curry. Plan to distract myself with housework until dinner when I shall have beans on toast, maybe with a slice of ham. Stocked up on some fruit teas so some new flavours to try.

Friday the 13th. wooooo. I'm in today.

I,m in, just a few more hours until bed. I,ve learnt not to post until well after dinner time, just in case.

Are you in Australia?

Hello Friday Fasting Friends! I'm in for my 1/2 fast today, nothing to eat until dinner 3rd time this week and then dinner of my choice!

I've lost 4-5 inches around the belly button part of my waist! Almost 6 months going I'm excited and hopeful about this WOE taking me all the way to where I need to be. It's so nice to be hopeful.

everyone!
