The FastDay Forum

Hi folks,
I am in today (or will be in the morning! ). Im doing my 3rd fast trying to get off this 5 week plateau and shift the last couple of pounds.

Hope you have a quick and eady day.

One of my usual 4:3 days but feeling like death warmed over so it might be a rough day.

Oh gee @ssure, im sending you cyberhugs. Did you overdo the paddling, or have you caught a lurgie? Hope you feel better soon.

I really over did it yesterday. I went and got demi baguettes for the families lunch and ate 3 of them with a tub of coleslaw. ..900cals in 1 sitting! Then continued to eat junk for the rest of the day. Why do I do that?
Hopefully today will repair something.
Breakfast time here and I need to get my ass in gear to get up and feed the kids. Flip it, why do they always want hot buttered toast when im fasting!

Good luck you groovy guys!
@SSurehope you feel better soon
@scubachicki take my hat off to you..i just cdnt make hot buttered toast and not eat some You're made of sterner stuff than me..respect sis - star! x

With visitors about I have missed the two last fast days from routine of "monday/Thursday" so now am trying to claw back lost ground I was making poor progress anyway with 5:2 in past months so shall think of 4:3 at some stage. But September is has two weeks of travel/away from home so doubt that plan will be put in action anytime soon .

I'm joining you all today for my third fast of the week. So far I don't seem to have lost any weight & this morning I weighed the same as last Saturday I do seem to have lost some inches because clothes feel looser so it's a bit weird.
I hope you all have a good day & SSure that you soon feel better!

Ah flip it @CandiceMarie, it is super hard. I could easily eat a full loaf of toast! But I have to feed the kids and they wont have cereal for me. For some reason they dont like fasting with me! its soooooo tempting to pop their left over crusts into my mouth...there are no cals in crusts, right?!!

I think I'm in again today: wasn't planned, but it's 3.15 pm, have just had large lunch, feeling very full, and only up to 460 cals so far. Off to see Inbetweeners 2 later and there will be no real eating opportunities at the cinema (my vices thankfully do not include sweets, chocolates and popcorn) - I'm quite hopeful of ending the day under 650. Good luck to all other Friday fasters !

This will be my 3rd fast of the week. But for some reason my Friday fasts always get sabotaged by social events. My downfall is not being able to stay focused on my goal when circumstances change around me. Anyway, good luck today everyone.

This is fast #3 for me this week. I need this too. I ate so many salted cocktail peanuts last evening I gained a pound overnight. I also felt very stuffed and am ready to "fast it off"!

Oh gee @ssure, im sending you cyberhugs. Did you overdo the paddling, or have you caught a lurgie? Hope you feel better soon.

@SSurehope you feel better soon

I hope you all have a good day & SSure that you soon feel better!

Thank you all for the good wishes - I think it's been the shifts in barometric pressure that shifted me towards a migraine with its associated illness and unpleasantness. You'd think I recognise the warning signs better but I've so largely had them under control for the past year that I'm not as quick off the mark as I should be in identifying the precursors.

So, one way and another, this has been an even lighter than usual fast day.

I hope that everyone else's day has been what they needed.

Turned out to be hungrier than I thought, result 1000 calories. Tomorrow is another fast day. PS If anyone's thinking of seeing Inbetweeners 2 my advice is save the money and watch paint dry instead.
