The FastDay Forum

Me too. I was going to fast yesterday, but caved last night. Decided to do an apple fast - an old Lesley Kenton classic. Anything so long as it is apples - so 4 apples a day for the next two days. I want to do a back to back as I feel I need only healthy things right now.

Good morning all. Monday fasting for me....
See you later.

I'm in today for my first fast of the week. I had good losses this last week but then had a bit of a blow out on the weekend of fish and chips and a couple of choc things- nothing too drastic but I'm sure enough to reflect on my scales lol. I'm not too worried though, it was a rare treat we all needed here, everyone is so overworked and tired at the moment. Happy fasting everyone xxx

I'm in!
But why, oh why did I have more than one glass of wine yesterday? I'm craving carbs this morning. Last week I had no alcohol on Sunday which made a big difference to the ease of fasting on Monday. Not to mention all the extra choc etc that I ate because the alcohol had sapped my will power. At my age I should know better!

Have a good day everybody.

I'm in. Happy fasting everyone x

Morning All, I'm in for my usual Monday and really hoping that this week will bring a downward trend on my weight chart.
Beautiful crisp weather here in the UK today which always helps.
Good luck folks.

Had a lovely lunch yesterday and did not eat during the evening, just had porridge and blueberries and hope to go past lunch time today or through to this evening...not sure what that is really just confused myself!!

Morning all I'm in today too, after putting a pound on least week even after 2 successful fast days!

My new buddy @mikesgrl79 helped me get through Friday.

Good luck all.

I'm in. I had some rapid transit problems last night so a water only fast day probably for me. I bought new running shoes yesterday but I won't go running today.

Yes I'm fasting today not done one since last Wednesday
doing today willingly.

Good Luck @rawkaren never heard of that one

Count me in, I am struggling these days, not so much with fasts but have gone AWAL on most of my normal eating days. I just can't kick this high carb thing, I manage about 4 days then have a massive carb attack. I hope you all have an easy fast day.

I'm in too. Was annoyed to have let myself put on 5lbs in a week on an all inclusive holiday (!) but last weeks fasts took 3 of those off so i'm not too worried.

Good luck everyone!

The last couple of weeks have been bad, fast wise and other. Have felt like s-t for a long time and it turned out the thyroid levels was shot again. So even though I do have tried, the normal fasting day have not worked....
But the sun is shining, the Levaxin seem to start o have an effect and I have two weeks left of my sick leave ,so even if it is hard I'm in for a full day - 36 hours incl the less than 500kcal dinner..
For dinner - one of the four Hairy recipes I have picked out for the week - yummy.

Got through the day without seseme wheat biscuits. Didn't eat all day until dinner: one beef and cranberry sausage with a big salad. I spent the afternoon preserving tomatoes and I made 750 ml of pesto - which involved a really big basket of basil. I do find it comforting to de dealing with food on fast days even if I can't eat it. Hope you're all having a good day. Stay strong! You can have whatever it is tomorrow!

WOW this is a FIRST

In over 12 months of this WOL this is the first time that I have felt, woozy & lightheaded & with a thick tongue (can't talk properly) with difficulty concentrating.

I've just broken my fast in the hope that's what is causing the above, don't feel better yet but hopefully it'll kick in soon. If it's not that then I may be ill (which is TOTALLY out of character, I'm NEVER ill)
