And yes, I know it is Good Friday, but I am work so it makes no difference to me!!!!!

Just had to have a coffee to keep me going and am contemplating a bullet proof coffee at some point as I did weights this morning and have now got major hunger pangs!

Hopefully there will be seafood in the mess this evening which will make up for my poor show today!

Hey @Debs I will be in after a little sleep (it's late Thur now). Missed my Wed fast because I decided I needed the mental health fix of a day at the spa more (and it was worth it ). Good Friday is such a blah day (no shops open ) so might as well fast. Plus, big Easter dinner at a friend's coming up so need to get a fast in.
Careful of the bulletproof coffee. Butter and coconut oil are over 100 cal per tablespoon. I usually make it with one of each so over 200 cal per coffee. I only have it on non-fast days because of that. Good luck with your fast. I hope you are busting that $%^#&% plateau soon

I'm in. Not working today so might be a challenge being at home. Have a lot to do anyway to take my mind of eating.
Happy fasting everyone...all three of us so far lol x

Oh and Happy Easter x

I'm joining you today. Trying to get a fast in before my kids join me for the Easter weekend.
Good luck to everyone and enjoy the chocolates on Sunday!

Hey, how are you doing Debs?

I think i'll fast today too.... probably have lunch and then get an early night, still trying to catch up on sleep/get back into a pattern after hols and then i've got a night out tomorrow! Late one!

Fingers crossed for seafood for you!

Happy Easter Debs & fellow fasters. Just coffee & water for my OH & I until supper tonight
One of our sons & his fiancé are coming to lunch on Easter Sunday so we have been reducing calories during the week for an extravagant lunch then. Weigh in day for me tomorrow morning but I'm sure I haven't met my Easter Challenge target but hope I'm still on a downward in weight journey.
Hope you all have a good fast day.

@Debs my bullet coffee does satiate the appetite if you modify and add small cube of butter and a heaped teaspoon of coconut oil.butter with some almond milk and stevia to sweeten. You will find your brain loves the fat and you can just get into work mode and forget about hunger pangs

I fasted today, 3rd this week and today has been a good fast. Only slight headache. Had the green soup off the forum for dinner, golly it is a lovely recipe. Might see if I can come back and edit in the link

Just made a really good/ quick/ easy/ almost calorie free, filling soup. I sauteed a bunch of crushed garlic cloves(I love garlic) in a bit of chicken broth, threw in a whole bag of baby spinach, let it wilt, then add the rest of the quart of ch. Broth. S&P, then bring to boil, simmer 10 mins. As that was working, I chopped up about 3/4 cup raw shrooms. S&P, a few sprays of spray butter, and mic for a minute. When soup was done, ran the immersion blender in the pot to puree it, threw in the shrooms, and YUM! entire 4 cup recipe comes in at 110 cals. Just had a cup, will have another later and save the other 2 cups for my next fast day Thursday. Now just have to get thru the rest of the day.
Happy fasting everyone

Well done on meeting your goal @Judithn...woohoo!!
