The FastDay Forum

Signing in too. So far, just one cup of tea with tiny bit of milk. Planning a lunchtime walk and black coffee; followed by an afternoon miso stock. Veggie soup or stew with only a tiny bit of rice or bread for dinner tonight. Wish me luck!

I'm in!

A normal fast day - except this evening I'm driving over to my sister's and staying over as we have a family event tomorrow. She's bound to crack open a bottle of something, so will I say 'no thanks', or give in to temptation? Hmmm!

Good luck everyone!

I'm in today! Looking forward to a normal fast day. It's very cold here so I'll probably have a soup for lunch and maybe a shrimp stir fry for dinner. I didn't go too far overboard this weekend so I'm hoping for some good results when I weigh in! Good luck to everyone!

I'm in too. Fast number 5 for me and not finding it a problem yet today. Only had water so far but gonna treat myself to a cup of tea with milk in for lunch.

I was strangely really looking forward to todays fast.

Count me in! I did an impromptu fast yesterday and am doing the regular Monday one today with my mom. She is such great support and doing this with me although she doesn't need to lose any weight!
She made us yummy potato and leak soup for lunch and we will have shrimps and broccoli for dinner.
Down 6 lbs in 3 weeks and 39 lbs to go...

Happy fast day to you all!:-)

In for my usual Monday, just back from a run and now looking forward to a green tea. I am going to break my usual habit of smoked salmon salad or cold meat salad as I missed haggis needs and tatties for burns night on Saturday so will have a small helping tonight 420 Cals so I am O.K. Hope you all have a good day.

Hello everybody. I'm new to this, it's my first ever 500 calorie day, and so far today I've had 1 coffee and 2 big glasses of water with lemon in. My stomach is starting to rumble, so I'm going to get something light for lunch! I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone

I'm in! small breakfast of egg beaters with ham and laughing cow cheese. Dinner tonight buffalo chicken meatloaf, sweet potato and green beans. grilled grapefruit for dessert. lots of hot and iced tea throughout the day.

Have a good fast everyone!

hi guys
I am in for my 4th day of fasting. So far, I find it quite easy as long as I am busy. I am drinking lots of black coffee and tea.
I am eating nothing until tonight when we have home made shepherds pie.
Hubby does all the cooking so I have to try and figure out calories but he cooks well and healthily so I am very fortunate.
Had masses of treats over the weekend so I need to be really really good this week as I am also out to lunch tomorrow!
Happy Monday xx

I'm in today the V&P vary fairy has got fed up of teasing @fatdog and is now annoying me. Trying to get to just below maintenance but keep bobbing around just above it!

Nah - the V&P vary-fairy has just been very busy: according to the scales I put on 2.4lbs overnight! Hurrrmph. I'm pointing my paws at the veggie haggis with Caribbean salad on Saturday (carbs) as I'm pretty certain I didn't exceed my calorie allowance by 8400! Glad it's a repair day for me...

I'm in with you all today! Nothing to eat so far and going away with work tonight so having a bit of a panic already about what I am going to eat! Might pick up some sushi for the train later - although that has rice so prob no good either - argh this is so hard!

In today. Finding it hard. I hate the way I think about hunger on fast days, doesn't help that I work from home - a hop skip and a jump from the fridge.

I'm in. Had to break my last fast on friday as I got sick during the day, but feeling great today

Wow, busy today!

Got plenty of work to distract me today and nothing to celebrate until Wednesday onwards (end of exams), so fitting in a bit of saintliness before things deteriorate towards the end of the week Feeling good so far, nothing but water in the tum... good thing library computer rooms are better-heated than my bedroom, because I'm usually wrapped up in a blanket shivering by this time of day.

Good luck, fast-army!

I'm in today. Black, decaff tea and water with lemon juice will keep me going until dinner tonight. Home-made shepherds pie for dinner with lots of veg and not too much of the potato topping will see me under the 500 for today. I only have 4.5 lb to lose before I am back to my July target weight, having lost nine pounds in three weeks. Hurrah!

@Hazelnut20, many people doing 4:3 (I'm not one of them) only have one day between fasts, so I wouldn't worry about doing Monday, Wednesday this week, although it may just be slightly more of a challenge.
