The FastDay Forum

Sunday night out here in California...so it is very cool to see you all waking up and getting right to your fasts all across the world. Like a big wave in the stadiums...
You are leading the way; I intend to follow. It is my second week and I am going to do a 4:3 again.

I'm 4:3 and Monday is one of my days I'll be starting my commute quite soon and, oddly enough, it's helpful not to have eaten anything before playing sardines with other people in such humid conditions.

If there are no more electrical storms, I might be able to slip out for a paddle later today. If so, I'll save the majority of my day's allotment for that, in case it's a little chilly and we have to be mindful of hypothermia protocols.

I've got plenty of broth and cherry tomatoes to keep me going until later today. My dinner will involve Total's 0% Fat Free Greek Yoghurt in some quantity or other that meets my needs.

Caesar, we who are about to fast forbear to throw our tomatoes at you.

Giving it a go again today but resting after yesterday's first proper bike ride on brand new bike. We set off from Schengen on the Moselle in fair weather at 11 not expecting the storm to hit until four. Half an hour later we were in the next town and taking shelter in the barbecue tent by the river, being served by the local youth group, raising funds. A quick pork chop , salad and frites (doesn't sound so fattening in French) and we took advantage of a break in the cloud to get back to Schengen, riding straight into a cloudburst! New bike not so spruce now. But I'm proud of this achievement. Aching a lot and treating a chronic back problem so letting everything repair today. Best wishes to all.

That sounds so idyllic @Hellengerin but where does the fasting come in?!! Blimey, I haven't cycled for years. I bet the scenery there is beautiful isn't it.

I can't believe theres only two bods fasting today. Is this the wrong thread or something? Where are you all?

I'm here with you both hopeingbto put in two good fasts this week before we head of to spain on Friday. Happy fasting.

hi everyone! Glad to see I'm not the only one fasting today (I've just written on the wrong thread where there was only two of us...well it is early morning here )

Anyway, this is quite a big day...my first fast in about 3 months I reckon! Good to see some old faces on here. Are we finally finding our way back I wonder. So, here I go. No food until 6 ish tonight when I shall have an M&S Paella type thing. I think its going to be a long day

Good luck everyone and well done to those who have nearly finished today

I'm in - there's usually more people than this - Mondays are normally quite popular fasting days. Roll on 5pm when I can leave work.

Good luck @Slimmer Bet you're looking forward to your holiday in Spain aren't you. I've never bean there myself. Will it be hot?



By the way...I was right...there is another fasting thread where all the Australians have bean and pretty much finished their day! Better head over there I guess

Ah - me too - there seem to be 2 threads. I'm in anyway.

Oh dear @loversghost are you wishing your day away?!!

Hows the throat @Debs? Any better? xx

Sadly,@nursebean I am! Got a bad head cold and feel a bit hot and shivery so the idea of x number of peeps coming in my room to tell me their woes (I work in a GP surgery) doesn't fill me with joy. Ha!

Yes I'm in today my first one of 4:3
Determination Day!!! For some of us re:: @nursebean @Candicemarie are you up for the promised DD?
Anyone else @justdeeyour buddie @Karenm @rawkaren come on in and let's make today a true 500cals/or less we can do it together just one day then tomorrow we'll all feel so much better.

Good morning all.
I've merged the two fasting today threads. Hope this hasn't confused anyone. Yes there are plenty of us and I know several who are going for it BIG time along with me that is.

Good luck and come back later for some afternoon slump distraction if needed.
My hubs has decided to take the day off so I hope he doesn't get under my feet whilst I'm painting the hall etc.

Oh @loversghost so sorry about the head cold. (I did write a reply but then promptly lost this site). I will join you in wishing the day goes super fast! Poor you, its miserable having a cold isn't it.

@Sue.Q I'm here and raring to go! First first in 3 months and hopefully I'll get back to doing ADF (although I may start with 4:3 this week. I'll see how it goes).

So what time will you eat today then folks? I'm aiming to have my meal at 6 ish this evening. How does everyone else work out their day?

At least we're back, eh?

Good luck everyone

Bean xxxx

Oops Hi Carie...good to see you and thanks for the merging...Bean gets easily confused! Will return in intervals to see how everyone is doing. Together we can do it. Alone? Well you're on your own...
