The FastDay Forum

Another day, another fast. blah blah blah.

I'm feeling very uninspired today, but also like I must carry on!

Good luck Friday fasters, if anyone is crazy enough to join me

Mine are done for the week so I'll be back in on Monday.

Hope it gets a little easier for you!

With you, MaryAnn, for today's fast. I thought I was going to be the only one today.

Do you know why you feel uninspired? Hope it gets easier for you today! I try and look at clothes in the next size down to keep me going sometimes. Is there something like that, that could help? Or just soldier on and get it done?

I just have a few pounds to go until maintenance weight (which I had reached before Xmas but then gained a bit). I've been doing 4:3 for a year, and lately ADF and 16:8 to try to get these last few stubborn pounds off. It just feels a bit relentless. I'm tired of explaining to people why I'm not eating/drinking, etc. I'll be fine, though. It's a gorgeous day. I've just been for a run in the forest by work. We had a stunning view of the sea at the end of the run.

Good luck to you, too, @mia87!

That does sound mighty annoying I can see from your stats you've come so far!!

The run sounds amazing In the forest and then a view of the sea! Good gosh, *I* would even run outside if that was the scene! We've got about 38C today, and the scene is dry red dirt, basically. So treadmill early this morning it was instead!

It's my birthday on Sunday so getting through today will mean a nicer, more comfortable birthday celebration (which will be sitting in front of the tv eating whatever hubby can learn to cook.)

oooh, happy birthday for Sunday!

Count me in today. Scales are still surprising me (in a good sense). Hope everyone has a successful fast if you're doing it today.

I'm in. Stayed under 80kgs all week so I am feeling inspired and determined. Fasting has been hard work lately though, but I will succeed! I have had to force myself to eat more on feed days and struggle with hunger on fast days when I wish it was the other way around lol.
haven't been a slave to the scales or weigh in days so cutting myself some slack seems to have helped a lot.
Happy fasting everyone x

Hello Friday fasters my OH & I are joining in today for our usual Friday fast. I am just going to hop on my exercise bike in the hope I will get to finally having lost 3 stone before Easter. I hope you all have a good day

Good morning!

I'm in today too. It is not my normal day, but my schedule this week was a little crazy. I know how you feel MaryAnn - that stupid scale is actually up again for me. But, I'm hoping after today it will be down. I'm going to keep plugging along and hope my body gets the message soon!

Good Fast Friday everyone!

bit late but, i'm in today! So far had 2 cups of tea and chicken and leek soup, planning on doing a fish pie for tea, so fingers crossed i don't cave and eat extra, rumbly stomach atm, think it may be time for another cup of tea!

Good golly @MaryAnn - you have come so far! It's not surprising you feel uninspired at times....but guess what? You are inspiring me!

I've only been fasting since 25th November last year and I have shed loads to shift.....and like you, I have days when I wish I wasn't fasting. Like today......when I am making a birthday cake for a friend! We are meeting at a park with the kids.....it's a beautifully sunny day here in Somerset.........and I am with you, fasting today, so I will be saying no to the cake later.....grrrr!

Might take some tin foil though, so I can have a slice tomorrow.....I absolutely love, love, love, cake!!

So, chin up, MaryAnn! It's only one day (at a time, anyway!) and you must know that very well by now....so keep up the brilliant work as we are all rooting for you!



P.S.Your run sounds so lovely - wish I could join you...

I don't usually fast on Fridays, but yesterday was a complete blowout so I want to get a second fast in this week. I'll just make it work! Good luck everyone!

I'm in today for my 3rd of 3. Feeling a bit weak willed today. I've had a bit of salad and just hope I can last the day. this is going to be a tough one for me:(
Hope everyone is finding it easier than I am.

I am in today. It's 4pm, but didn't have time to log on sooner. It's my third of three this week and feeling great. Has a salad for lunch. Not sure yet what's for dinner.
Good luck!
