The FastDay Forum

Who's in? I have had four days of eating and drinking far too much and have subsequently put on 7lb going up to 11st8lb, not impressed and feeling disgusting!

Im joining you LilSmiler. Not sure why I got on the scales this morning . They showed I was up 2 kilos, not worried Monday morning weigh ins are always shocker. One day I will learn not to get on them until Tuesday after a fast!!!
Happy Fasting

Yes it was a bit silly as I knew I was going to have put on after eating a rather large creamy curry with rice late last night but I wasn't expecting to have put on half a stone in ten days when I had also fasted for two of them?! Never mind, I shall start again!
Good luck!

I'm fasting again today. Still still still on my plateau - been 3 months now. At least I know that to maintain, I'll keep to 2 fasts a week Going to try 4:3 this week and see if that does anything.

Our first fast day Monday after coming back from a 7 day Bermuda cruise. I gained 5 pounds!
Lost 10 pounds after 4 months on 5:2 , now the long trudge back to lose again. I miss my salmon and bagels every morning already.

I'm here in sunny Sydney.
Lilsmiler it is truly amazing how much weight a salty dinner can put on temporarily.
I weigh daily and see the fluctuations but only take note weekly or fortnightly- whichever is best!
I've had a swim this morning and now having my black coffee to pep me up to visit my Mum in the nursing home.
Finding it difficult at the moment as she is very anxious and fixated but I WILL keep serene today!
Roll on 6pm for my stir fry - a spray of coconut oil, grated ginger, carrot, beetroot, mushrooms, pumpkin and beans with 15gms of soft goat cheese and lemon juice stirred in.
Yum!
Have a good day everyone.

That sounds a lovely dinner gigi, I really struggle with being imaginative and as I only cook for just me it is difficult to buy fresh vege/salad because I just won't eat it all before it goes 'limp'. I use a lot of frozen vege but it's not really the same?
Yes hopefully on Friday it will be back down by a couple of pounds again!
Best of luck visiting your Mum, I hope it goes as well as it can do for you.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who put on! Good luck to us this week!!!

No Dana I just can't believe I put on SO much in such a short space of time. I'm hungry today don't get me wrong but I know how much I need this fast! I'm really going to try 2 consecutive ones this week (Mon and Tues) and Thursday. Not sure if it's a good idea though?

I'm in for my usual Monday fast. It's a glorious spring day here and you can't help but smile. I'm going away for a few days on Thursday so want to make sure to get my two fasts in before that as I'm planning to enjoy eating and drinking what I want over the weekend!

Jerseyjoe, easy come easy go - I'm sure it won't take you too long at all to drop the holiday gain once you're back in your regular routine. Hope you had a fabulous time away!

Have a good visit with your Mum Gigi; try and stay as calm as you can and hopefully she will be too.

I am fasting today too. I've had two weeks off in Switzerland and the UK. I have had way too much cheese and wine. I don't dare weigh myself today. I might wait until I do another fast before braving the scales.

fasting too, quite pleased because although I lost my way a bit, with the help of people on here, I got back on again and at clinic (I have to go for a medical condition every 8 weeks) I'd lost 2 kilos, no-one noticed or commented, but I was very happy that that is the second small but to me significant decrease in two visits since I started. i've decided I'll use that as my 'proper' monitor. Looking forward to cauliflower / garlic soup tonight

I am in today. I too am feeling disappointed for overindulging over the weekend. I'm not getting on the scales until Wednesday morning...

A busy day is keeping my mind off my stomach grumbling. Quick and easy dinner tonight - Latina Fresh pre-made light lasagna... at 346 calories that should leave plenty of scope for some salad to go with it and a hot chocolate before bed

Wishing you all a great day!

It's still Sunday night here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest but I'll be in on this (my) tomorrow.

Hi All, Count me in, Its back to normal from today at work on my feet most of the day so I'm fasting again today. Still on my plateau nearly a month. Trying a 24hr liquid fast of green tea, black coffee and water from 6pm last night to 6pm tonight then dinner. Miso Soup and Zero Noodles then another 10/11 hrs. fast till breakfast. will try this Today and Thursday this week.
Good Luck to all Fasters today
