The FastDay Forum

ROFL!! I just found this website:http://www.youswear.com/?language=German the net has officially got EVERYTHING!

Morning all - I'm in for a well needed fast today! Been an absolute pig this weekend so I'm feeling the burn today!

I'm definitely finding that I can't eat anywhere near as much as I was eating before, which is a good thing. And I think I'm starting to look different (smaller - but don't know if that's my mind playing tricks) - but weight loss is still TBC as have no batteries in my scales still!

Considering trying an all day liquid diet, i.e. not having any food at all today. Does anyone else do this? How have you found it? Has it affected your sleeping? If I don't manager a full liquid fast my amazing and oh-so-supportive OH will prepare me grilled chicken breast and a pile of veg ready for when I get home. I'm so lucky to have him!!!

Best of luck Monday fast team!!

This is a late check in for me. Hope you are all having a good fast, Im a bit peckish but I actually have a bit of work to do at work for once so a quick hello

How did you go with the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb @Wineoclock ?

Have a great day, take care.

cheers Maggie

I'm in. I had a bit of a wild weekend, including drinking until 4am on Friday/Saturday for the first time in ages. I've been lazy about entering into MFP all weekend, and I've not weighed either. Between muscle soreness and my wahey weekend, I know I won't like the number.

Anyway, good luck Monday fasters!

goodness, lots of Aussies fasting today already!! I'm in too! I'm feeling a bit more positive after venting my eating & fasting woes to my fasting foursome buddies (thanks guys!). I'm just off for a bike ride, which helps stave off the hunger signals, then plenty of lime-kissed mineral water and decaf green tea with pomegranate (tetley), until dinner - the san fran quinoa salad I was planning for last week, but never got around to!

Happy fasting everyone

Hello all you lovely Monday fasters. It's a late check-in for my standards

@Sallyo - love the sound of your dinner! Going to put that on my list of ones to make. I've got piles of Delicious magazines, I'm sure I'll be able to dig that out.

Last week was a 6:1 for me. I didn't eat very well on the weekend, so anticipating that this will be a 5:2...

Good luck today everyone

Just popped in from gardening for my first black coffee of the day; 2 black teas and 2 glasses of water already downed.

I will be having late lunch rather than dinner today, because I will be out from 3.30 until late. I will have my usual tuna or salmon salad.

Happy fasting!

@tinamacarina - didn't mean for you to necessarily remove the link, especially given it worked for others ok - maybe the problem I had was specific to iPads and Safari? Perhaps you can cut and paste the recipe and any other relevant material into a post, since others did find it useful.

Excellent!!!! I'll forward this to my fellow choristers.

@Maggiee the Bridge climb was really good, what a view you get from up there.

I'm in today after having a week off last week because I couldn't fit my usual 2 days in and just didn't feel like swapping...oops! I was actually really looking forward to today and I'm not finding it too bad so far....I'm actually enjoying feeling hungry instead of stuffed!
It's going to be tricky to fit in another fast day this week so I'm going to try doing 16:8's instead until I can get back to routine next week.
Good luck today everyone!

I'll be fasting too, in the morning, still Sunday night here.

This will be my first fast on a day off, Family Day holiday here. Any suggestions for fasting when home all day? I can usually count on killing 10 hours for work which makes the day fly by... hopefully I can make it through tomorrow!

Hi all,
I'm in today, just late checking in.
I've been very inconsistent the last month for various reasons.
Glad to be back in for today's fast.
Counting down to early dinner now of stir fry veges followed by melon, blueberries and papaya.
DD is joining me again today and DH is out for dinner so it's nice to only cook one type of meal!
Have a good day fellow fasters.

So... I was feeling poorly and decided it was a good day to get my drivers license renewed since I wasn't being productive at work. So I'm stick for half a day in this ancient office, which only has stoop-and-pee toilets, and my legs are crying from yesterday's race and I have to pee every 5 minutes!

@maryannHope you are feeling better now.

I'm fasting in the morning...
