The FastDay Forum

Day is getting away. Happy Anniversary@Julieanna. We had our 20th last Wednesday, only I made a mistake and announced it as our Silver on Facebook. It's only China but we've celebrated silver 5 years early. Some of those years were worth more than a year! And we may not get to 25! I'm having mushroom omelette for tea. No walking. It's raining.

I'm in once I go to sleep and wake up. Lord knows I need it
Happy anniversary Julianna!

Thinking of changing my fast day to Tuesdays, as Mondays will become an increasingly social day, looking at the new terms calendar. So good luck Monday Fasters...I am pleased to have not only lost last weeks gain but also another pound on top of that.

White rabbits!!! And congratulations to Julianna. I'll be in today, last fast before three days in London, probably featuring a mushroom omelette like Sallyo and a cauliflower, broccoli and almond burger in a Warburton's Thin. We're expecting another beautiful day today, so I'll try to fit in a long walk. Good luck to everyone.

Happy Anniversary Julianna.
I'm in today, happy September, happy Monday fasting and happy trip back down to pre school Hols low weight.

I'm in. Usual Monday fast but I have a long standing problem with a disc in my neck which gives me terrible pain in my arm periodically and when that happens for some reason the ibuprofen I take to try and cope with the pain makes me retain water these days - so I am 3kg heavier than last Thurs. Which is pretty depressing when I haven't really warranted the gain. I really need to get something done about my neck because this keeps happening but last time my GP refused to refer me - I think they think it's a bit of an ache or something. Nope - worst pain I've ever had actually and nothing touches it so I feel a bit rubbish today. Sorry for the whinge but at least I don't feel like eating. Good luck to all Monday fasters.

Happy Anniversary julianna
Sorry to hear you have a painful neck loversghost . Don't put up with it & go & badger your GP until something gets done to help you!
I'm fasting today & will do back to back fasts today & tomorrow to try to lose a little more weight before my sons wedding on Friday. So only coffee & water until supper but I have to go to the dentist this afternoon to have a broken filling replaced & I hate injections!!
I hope you all have a good fast day.

Yes I'm in today with my first of my 4:3
Black coffees all day then chicken with loads of veggies
for my evening meal, good luck Monday fasters.

Happy Anniversary @julianna
---------- Silver for you both next year --------------

I'm in today. I have been to my very first Pilates class this morning and, although I am very exercise averse, I actually quite enjoyed it! I will also go for a walk later if the mizzle clears - or maybe even if it doesn't. Nothing to eat until 6.30 - 7pm, when I have no idea what I will eat. The menfolk are having sausages so I may have eggs - if the chooks are laying.

Congratulations to Julianna and Sallyo on anniversaries and, if you are looking forward to the start of a new school term ( for whatever reason), I can only say that I really enjoy not having to think about it any more!

Good luck to all fasting today. Onwards and downwards!

I'm in too! After a huge food weekend I have had a strict fast day. I really needed it and it feels good to be ready for bed having kept to my fast.

Fasting and already having my black coffee too! Today is Labor Day in the states but I'm hoping I can still get my fast in today. No big plans. Have a great day!

Good luck at the dentists @isis ...and @loversghost i hope you get some help,its miserable to be in so much pain x
Ohh dear ive ruined my determined day fasting i' m afraif..it will have to be a determined low cal day instead! well done the rest of you sticking it out

It's after midnight and I had to stay up to bake the bread. I'd made the dough and it had risen all day, and then in the containers but I forgot about it until I was going to bed. All done now.@Loversghost, that sounds bad. Goodnight and happy fasting all. Well done @chinchin.

I'm in today ( my first in a month) school holidays took over my fasting! So back on ADF, did the Insanity fit test today, I'm not fit, feeling good, if not a little achey, I'm back in my fasting groove

I baked a half recipe of shortbread/pecan/brown sugar bars yesterday, ate half, and then dined on half of a large Greek pizza--the kind that leaves you moaning, "Why did I eat so much" for the next eight hours.

So what happens when I get on the scale? I find myself weighing in at the lowest Monday morning weight I've ever seen, which is also the very lowest non-fasting weight I've seen since I started this diet.

Very strange, but I'll take it.

@Julianna and @Sallyo,

Congratulations on your anniversaries, and may you have many more happy ones!

@loversghost,

So sorry to hear you are battling the painful neck. I have more than my share of disc problems and know how miserable they can be. Sometimes they will improve with patient waiting. There isn't much doctors can do except operate, and that doesn't always make things better. Physical therapy has never done anything for me. Have you ever tried acupuncture? It isn't much help for ruptured discs, but it can be very helpful for muscles that have gone into spasm around a painful joint/disc and which stay painful after the joint inflammation has resolved.
