The FastDay Forum

I'm in today. So far had half a grapefruit, an egg and a slice of chicken breast. Plus, I've discovered a new pick me up for fasting days - to a cube of chicken stock add about a quarter of a teaspoon of Cajun spice mix. Really gives it a kick! And a nice hot drink for a cold day.

Yesterday I slow cooked a big lump of silverside in my crockpot. We had it for dinner and it was good - just fell apart and melted in my mouth. Well, I'm planning on having a slice of that for dinner (100 grams = about 120 calories) with the usual mix of vegetables. I might also be able to afford a teaspoon of pickles with it.

I'm in. Usual Monday fast for me. I feel I was a little off-track last week and had a bit of a blowout over the weekend because of circumstances. I aim to be more disciplined this week!

I am In today and back to 4.3 this week.

I am in! Week 5, day 9.

@MaryAnn, I can imagine. The Monday always feels like the perfect fastday. For me it is a reset after a weekend away with massive breakfasts, big dinners and 3 days of drinking alcohol...

A Monday fast also gets one fasting day out of the way quickly.

Well today is my first attempt at this plan. Hope I manage it. Crossing my fingers.

Hi Lilsmiler,
Your story sounds exactly like mine. Too much wine and food
at the weekend and being too generous to myself on feast days.
I am stuck at the same weight as you, 70 kgs so I think I need
to watch the feast days and be a bit more realistic if I want
to shift another couple of kgs. This is definitely the way forward
though and I think I will be on this forever. It's so easy to
do. In the past if I ate what I am eating now I would have piled
on the weight, but I only ever go up by 1-2 kgs and then it comes off
again with the fast days. I think it will be easier once the summer
comes and maybe then I will lose some more. Keep up the good work though.

After the break I had to take last week, new fast today with a 100cal minestrone soup tonight. I just hope my parents will come back from their holidays after lunch because, knowing them , they'll want us to go to the restaurant and it's not possible today

Good luck to everybody

Yes count me in I'm eating out twice in week so will have to do
2 of my 3 fasts back2back don't mind them at all.
So have got to be Very good this week.
Good Luck to us all doing today Sue.

I´m in too! Goog day all!

Yes I'm in too. The cooler weather doesn't help though!!
Gook luck all!

Following a weekend of absolute birthday indulgence I'm in!

Morning all, usual Monday fast for me. The weight seems to be staying the same,but I can def see a difference in my body shape and the clothes are getting bigger, so all good...am sure there will be a drop soon....I hope! Anyways food shopping , bread , cake and biscuits for the week to be made! Will have to survive on the smell of goodies in the oven today until dinner tonight.

Enjoy your fasts xx

I'm in my 2nd Fast day but start of my first proper week as last Thursday was only like a 'trial' day for me so today and Wednesday this week are my fats days then weigh-in Thursday. See how it pans out for me.
It will soon be tea time

Oh I think I've had my dinner too early but I just couldn't wait any longer! Hope everyone's going ok.

After weeks of not fasting "properly" and lacking motivation I am in for today's fast. Hope I stay on track as I am feeling "heavy", especially round the middle. Just had a cup of redbush tea, love that stuff.
