The FastDay Forum

I'm fasting today, with the flu. I have been fighting something off for a couple of weeks...but it got me. I hope the fast gives my body enough space to fight it off. Happy fasting all!

Funny how it's cold and stormy up in Sydney and a stunning blue warm day down here. Hard to imagine. Struggling. Just had 2 more Ease-a-colds and another piece of toast and vegemite. Very hungry. Thank God I'm about to go out.

I'm in today...first for a few weeks because of school hols, then visitors from the Uk. Finding it ok so far, miso soup and a peach for lunch, now lots of fizzy water until vegy soup for dinner.
Good luck everyone

I'm fasting today, too. I had my first fast after a 2 week break on Saturday. This one feels like much tougher going. I'll have a miso soup soon.

To those of you feeling unwell today: I hope you feel better soon.

Good luck Monday fasters!

Hi all. I am fasting today. Past 4pm now so most of the day is gone. I did a Bikram yoga session today too without having brekki and I was starving for lunch which normally I skip but today I invited myself to a cup of miso soup. I am looking forward to a good number on the scale tomorrow morning. .

Moien from Luxembourg! Hope all in Aus continue to enjoy their day. It's wet and rainy here as well.
Anyway, just done the weekly weigh in and that's about 3 lbs down from starting three weeks ago, so bang on trend. Waist reducing too, so also very good. My fasts have not been too strict, but the overall attention to quality of food has started to pay off. Another bike ride completed with three times round the lake in Echternach.
Feeling more hopeful today, and about to have watermelon and yoghurt for brekkie, so I can take my myriad of pain relief meds.
Bon journee.

Morning SallyO
It's a crisp sunny morning here in sunny Darwen. Lancashire. The wind and rain has moved on overnight and I have a 250 mile drive back home to do today. I know it's not far in some countries but our roads get jam packed.
Shall fast till dinner by telling my mum that we (daughter and I) will stop for brunch.
See you all later good luck.

Yes I'm willingly fasting today.
Good. Luck to all Monday fasters.

It's a dull grey day up here this morning and only set to get worse.

I'm hopefully in today. I'm starting my new job today in Sainsbury's. Today and tomorrow are induction days and I'll be doing 9am-5pm. No idea what to expect but I believe I'll be given my uniform today so I will take the car to work which means I should be able to come home for lunch which means I will be able to get in another liquid fast without any questions. So far I've had a large glass of water which is probably just as well as my stomach is beginning to churn a bit!
