The FastDay Forum

Hope everyone is getting on OK.
It's 2PM here and I don't want to speak too soon but this is the easiest fast I've done so far in 7 weeks! And I have to say I think it's because all I've drank is one coffee with a dash of milk and the rest of the day, herbal teas. Normally I drink fizzy drinks (diet) and 3 or 4 cups of coffee thinking that they are helping to reduce my hunger but I think they were actually increasing my hunger in the long run.
Anyway I am not 'dying' of hunger today (maybe it's because I ate so much yesterday but I don't think so because that normally makes me hungrier the next day) so I am looking forward to a nice salad tonight as I am trying to avoid carbs. What can I add to make it satisfying though?

Another one who gained this week - nearly half a kg. How can that be? Fasted on two days and kept to 1400 (BMR) on the other days. Exercised.

Well, today is a fast day. Let's see what happens on the scales next week.

Lady Muck I think if you know your calories were all within your 'allowance' you're OK. Weight and scales are funny things, it will all balance itself out.

I am here today - 4.30Pm now and starting to get pretty hungry, going to use leftover stir-fry from last night for my calories. Cant Wait!

LilSmiler, I know... I know... But I hate it when the scale is obviously lying! ;D

Hi everyone. Hubs and I decided to swap today's fast for Tuesday as it was our 23rd wedding anniversary yesterday(first day of spring and Father's Day) and we still feel like celebrating so I'll see most of you on Thursday. ( I'm trying to 16:8 on non fast weekdays and managed to wait till 2.30pm to first eat today so I'm happy with that) good luck today. Xxx

I am struggling a bit today. I didn't have any food in the house so I didn't have my usual soft-boiled egg this morning. I have a bit of a sore throat so I keep sucking on throat lozenges which somehow are making me hungry. Oh well, I knew today would be a bit of a struggle...

Congratulations julianna!! You enjoy your food and drinkies!!

Happy fasting everyone

And me ...

Me too. I'm another one who had two good fasts, never stray from them and put on weight last week. Will be reassessing my approach at the end of the month after another family visit and no fasting for two weeks. Have been gaining and losing the same kilo or so since the beginning of May.

First proper fast after falling off the wagon a few months back. I was too scared to get on the scales this morning so I am just imagining those size 14 jeans that I love and feel great in

Came across this pic on facebook this morning which I thought was good motivation

I'm in today for the first tme aftet a looooong summer break! Hungry already
