The FastDay Forum

Dupe post!

I've considered ADF @nursebean but I can't bear the thought of fasting on the weekend - a Friday is a big enough step! I fasted last Saturday and just felt a bit like I was wishing my weekend away For now going to have a good week and 2 days off at the weekend I think.

Maybe when I'm a bit more experienced (only on my third week!)

DBF is out tonight too so won't be getting under my feet!

Morning all - count me in. I think it will be tricky but I'm gonna give it a go anyways cos I'm out to lunch today. Wont know what to do with myself this evening as I usually save my calories up til then. Could prove difficult but I'm keeping everything crossed that I make it thru.

No I suppose you're right there Lottie @Lottie89 and weekends shouldn't be spoiled by anything. I don't mind it and its not that bad because one week you fast on a Saturday and the next a Sunday...so at least theres that!

Hi friday fasters, I'm in today for 3rd of the week. Really felt like I over ate yesterday but came in under TDEE, that's real progress. I can't believe how fast this week has gone, and dare I say I'm really enjoying 4:3, much easier than 5:2 for me. Weigh in again for me tomorrow, not expecting much as is that time again but I know the weight is coming off as clothes are feeling a bit looser. Good luck everyone, hope we all have an easy fastday. Good luck on hitting the 10 stone somethings @nursebean

I'm in, reluctantly though. I had a chat with hubby about it and he basically did the, 'just do it' don't over analyse why you are feeling rubbish, just get onboard and get it over and done with. Thankfully I am off out in a bit and will be avoiding food as much as possible.

I'm in, have managed to be busy and out and about at work for the morning, so haven't really noticed that I'm fasting. It's our town festival this weekend, so may be overindulging slightly tomorrow . . .

Friday fast for me too unusually. I normally go for Mondays and Thursdays but with a bit of flexibility. Have been out for a bike ride this morning and am ready to eat now. Still deciding whether to have a largish meal now and use up all my calories or have a snack and wait until this evening to eat. Ho hum. Decisions decisions.

Good luck with it. I know it works been here before but lapsed - family problems etc and I reach for the chocolate - so here I go again second day this week -hard!! But hey ho.

Hope everyone is doing well today. I'm attempting a proper full fast today ie not many cals till dinner. I've been having a little lunch recently so thought I'd see if I can still do it. I may have an oxo in about an hour.

3rd fast of the week and it's getting to me! Headache, no energy, feel like I'm stuck on the sofa. Really want to get up and do the washing up but can't bring myself to move!

On Weds I was bouncing off the walls! The only difference is that I had an ice lolly at lunch today, perhaps I am experiencing a sugar crash

I'm in today, I don't think I've done a Friday before, luckily the weather is fab and I find fasting much easier in good weather. 2nd of the week, but I hear that Friday night glass of red calling me.... Help !

I am in, doing an extra day because of a bit of gluttony through the week on feast days. A friend gave me two, not just one but two large bags of Thorntons toffees as a thanks for a favour I did her. At a thousand calories a bag I have to admit that both are gone, in my tummy yum yum. Result an extra fast today. Hope you have all done better than me this week and that you have a successful day.

For extra masochism I' ve been out on the bike today...(edit about 4 miles roughly how many calories is that?)

Blinkin feeling it now.....blimey.

I'm not always so good I ve got taste for those cheesy puffs on sale at the services up the road.... I haven't looked at the calories and I don't intend to.

Keeping the choccy cravings at bay....just.....for now

@Nessie you naughty thing you! Glad I'm not alone
