The FastDay Forum

I'm here too, on the home stretch now! Have quite enjoyed the fasting after all the extra eating I have to say... One more indulgent day tomorrow and then it's back to normal I hope!

I'm in! Went out for pizza last night. And gelato. Then when I got home I had lots of chocolate Baileys, a handful of Twiglets and some chocolate. No wonder I went to bed with indigestion and woke to scales that said 81.7 kgs lol.
Happy fasting everyone x

I'm in for a Monday fast... didn't eat well again yesterday but DID do my first run for a fortnight so the scales are actually marginally DOWN this morning. Nevertheless, there is still a post-Crimbo wedge to be re-lost.....

It's funny but these days I start my fasting day asking myself "Would you rather have breakfast today or see the scales showing a lighter weight tomorrow?" And thus fasting always wins for me.....

Judio - -your Christmas sounds just like mine!
Last Fast of 2013, here we go.

I'm in for the last one of the year. Feeling so rough I've lost my voice, heads spinning, and I'm hot and cold, NOT good! I intend spending the day in bed feeling sorry for myself.

I'm in! Oh, well, I'll try... But it'll be a start if I manage 16:8...
Have a good day everyone!

Lucky Aussies, finishing already

I'm in today after eating my body weight in chocs and wine! Just sipping a cup of tea then visiting a friend this afternoon who has a super duper coffee machine oops! Just salmon and salad later for dinner. Enjoy your day especially those of you in nice warm weather it is awful 4 here with the wind and rain!

@maryannemcconnelland @WannaBslimma good luck with your first fasts. I'm in and I'm dragging my hubs in with me. Chicken breast and salad for tea, and I might have enough cals for an after eight.

Almost done.Just checking the board then it's bed with a good book for me. Minsmum, hope you feel better soon.

@julianna I managed my fast. Not as bad as a thought but I think an early night is in order. Now New Years Eve and Day to do more eating and drinking. Oh well someone has to do it

I'm in

Well done wineo'clock!
My OH are in & only managed one fast last week but I have been 16:8ing apart for a couple of breakfasts of smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, croissant & Bucks Fizz
Four pounds gained over Christmas week so I hope today will start repairing the too much food & wine consumed enjoyable though it was. So only water & coffee until supper & I must try to stick to only 500 calories today. I will be busy with all the ironing!
Good luck everyone fasting today.

Good luck all you staunch end of the year fasters!

Thank you Domane x
Youve just given me a new mantra to add to @Breadandwine's saying before a fast begins..
THE KITCHEN IS NOW CLOSED!

See you Thursday, Candicemarie. I've got to bed time. Managed ok , although I won't say it was easy. Hopefully Thursday will be easier. Hang in there, people west of here.
