The FastDay Forum

I'm in too in frosty Sussex !
I did end up having my naughty lunch out on Saturday so will have to see if my extra Wednesday fast has helped negate that when I weigh in tomorrow ...I do hope so I don't want my first report to the Spring Challenge to be an up rather than a down

Protein bar at 1pm and then Innocent Veg pot for dinner .. I think I might have a slight addiction to both

@Sassy1? You REALLY went to town didn't you!! Glad you enjoyed it though.
How's it going so far fasters?!!

I'm in today. Had to give Pilates a miss because I'm off to the funeral of one of our WI members soon, so just catching up on here before I head off. Black tea only, so far and will pop into the supermarket later to find something delicious for dinner this evening. Good luck to everyone fasting today. Stay strong!

Sorry to hear you've got a funeral to go to @Stowgateresident xx
@Redrobin how many calories are in your protein bars?
I shouldn't even be in here today. I'm just offering moral support...and I'm just plain nosy!

@nursebean between 170 and 200 but because they contain 21grams of protein they do stave off hunger for ages
They are made by Quest and I get them off Amazon ...they are about the best for taste and also for not having anything nasty in them. And if you blitz them in the microwave they are like a hot chewy cookie

Yay! Just completed my first proper fast day since beginning holidays 4 weeks ago. I'm still on hols for another week and a half but hubs went back to work today. It feels good to fast and I'm pleased that it was easy today. Xxx

I'm in today too! Have just had an early lunch of spicy sweet potato soup, and will just have an egg this evening.
I love the 'fasting today' threads - start off with our friends in the lovely warm antipodes, then we cold and miserable (in my case snowy & icy) UK dwellers come in. By now Juliana and others in Oz are tucked up in bed and those in US only just getting up. It truly is a small and wonderful world (and hopefully we too are getting smaller)

I'm in today. have a good fastday everyone

Hi everyone
This is me back here starting out today after having had a baby - weight seems to have creeped up over winter and its now time to take charge!!! Have had a boiled egg! Anyone know how many cals that is??? and a cup of tea so far. Feeling determined!

Hi @Timbermiss and congratulations on having a baby. How exciting!
Love the shoes in your Avatar too!
@Redrobin I will definitely have to try one of those bars...although the calories are quite high aren't they. Mind you, I guess I could chew slowly in the evening. They could be my last resort! Thanks for the info.

At work, so can't really chatter. Jut to say I was not planning to lunch, it is cod and veg for dinner (read and waiting in the fridge)but I now have a lunchtime meeting with two colleagues and they said bring your lunch . It will be a fib to say I have already eaten, but it just has to be done.....

I'm in today too, need to plan and stick to two fast days as at the moment the second one never gets done!
Good luck everyone!

@nursebean Thank you very much for your good wishes!! and the comment on the shoes Shoes!!
How much is everyone hoping to loose? I would like to get a good stone off xx

Hi all
I'm in today Fasted 2 days last week after Christmas (when I put on 5 lbs) and I've lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks so seems to be going well again. I stopped fasting in October last year after losing nearly 3 stone, and 1 stone has crept back on so I'm so glad I've not let things slide too much and realised that I need to be doing this full time and not faffing about. Ideally would like to lose another stone before my holiday in May so we'll see
So far have had a 2 coffees with a dash of skimmed milk and a cup-a-soup (85 cals). Tea will be an Innocent Veg pot @RedRobin I love them!
Good luck all x

I am in today, and happy to report that all of my holiday weight gain is gone (~5 lbs). I am back at my lowest point and will continue ever downward. Good luck to everyone fasting today. I'm finding the 4:3 thing is kinda' doable! Happy fasting
