The FastDay Forum

It's past 9am on a Monday in January (in South Australia) and no new 'fasting today' page yet... I am in and look forward to be joined by others. Wendy

Of course, I meant 2016!!

Good morning @Wmr309
I will join you! Hot day here, and I guess for you too. Easy to forget that the calendar has flipped to 2016!
My fast maybe a 600 one, as Tues and Thurs are my fast days. But I thought I would slide another mini one in today, as Wednesday will be a over TDEE day due to dinner out with friends and cake.
Good luck to everyone today.

Hello Monday fasters. First fast of the new year here in Sydney - I was away over Christmas and New Year and have been sick since my return so back with a vengeance today. Plan to fast on Monday's and Thursday's between now and Easter to shift the five kilos that seem to have crept on since the end of October. Just tea and water till this evening when I will have Jamie's lemon herb crusted salmon with a rocket salad for around 450 calories. Lunchtime here so just off for a walk around the park to distract me from my colleagues enjoying their lunches!

Hi everyone, I'm in today too. I've had a little yogurt and blackberries for breakfast, (say 100) a packet of soup - (about 25 calories,) at lunch and now, I'm getting dinner. Duck breast, beetroot, lettuce, cucumber and what ever else I can find in a salad. It's my first beetroot to pick from the garden so it's special. I've had a few dried apricots as well, but no sesame wheat biscuits which are my big down fall on a fast day. So all is going well. When the duck and beetroot are cooked I will go for a walk to the post office while they cool.

I'm vast so I must fast!
Thanks to 16:8 I'm not eating beyond 7.30pm at night, it gives me a head start on a full day, so today I'm already 13 hours in :0)
Tisanes, black coffee, a bouillon if necessary until dinner tonight of eggs and avocado and Greek yogurt.
Good luck folks

Also my first fast of 2016 - picked an awful day with driving rain, thunder & lightning - and I have some homemade lentil and vegetable soup gently bubbling away in the slow cooker. Lots of colds and sore throats around - just taken 10 days to get over a head cold! Finished off the last of the Christmas treats, so no more excuses......

Morning all.. I'm in today. I didn't fast so well last week, possibly because I've been eating more carbs than usual and it's revved my appetite up/hijacked my brain!! So I need to break the cycle this week and make today count. Roast chicken and veg for dinner... mmmm

It's Monday, so must be a fast day. I'm in.

I'm also in as usual for a Monday. My tracker seems to have finally 'turned round' after Christmas. Fingers crossed it keeps going that way although we are away again next weekend.

I'm in today but, rather uncharacteristically, have just broken my fast at lunchtime! I have just returned from Pilates, which was followed by some supermarket shopping at which I bought some lovely ham - carved off the bone. It smelled so delicious that, when I was unpacking it, I ate half a slice before remembering that today was a fast day!
Oh well! It just means that I may be slightly over my days calories after eating roasted cod loin, with a herb crust, for dinner this evening! Could be worse - at least it wasn't a cream cake, which was calling my name at the cake counter!

I'm vast so I must fast

Love it! Good luck everyone. Only 30 minutes left for me until my trough, sorry window, opens.

I'm in today as well. Tummy is rumbling so time for a cuppa, nothing to eat until about 6pm,

I'm in today - felt pretty sick this morning, which I'm putting down to too much coffee on an empty stomach. I had some soup for lunch and everything seems to have come good so far this afternoon. Long may it continue! everybody

Oh yeah and hard it is. Today has been much more hard than the last week. Not that I have the urge to put certain stuff in my mouth, but the gastroenteritis look a like has been persistent all day long. But the only thing that has touched my lips today is water, even though I had to go to a very important meeting south of the city. Dinner: HB Samosas.
I will survive!
