The FastDay Forum

00:20 and I'm about to retire to bed. HOWEVER, I shall be fasting when I wake as I missed my normal Thursday fast as it was our annual work picnic at Regents Park and tonight was tapas and great chatter with a friend visiting from Qatar. Looking forward to catching up over the weekend as I have not looked in much this week as I was up to my neck. So, while Saturday is not a busy fast day ... do come by and say hello
My fast will be 335 cals .... yet to work out who they are

I'm in today, too. I'm fasting on a typhoon day again. This is good because typhoons usually mean booze and junk food.

Good luck, @Lizbean and Saturday fasters!

Hi @Lizbean

I am joinng you today. Saturdays are a good day to fast for me, as I am busy til mid afternoon. Not sure when I will be fasting this week, have lunches with friends Thurs and Fri; might just do Tues (dentist in morning, so that works well!) and Saturday again.

Am planning to go swimming this afternoon - first time in AGES. I wonder how many laps I will manage...

Best wishes to all weekend fasters

Me again, just to say I am very pleased with my swimming effort. I managed 40@50m lengths in an hour, more than I used to do. Novelty? Less mass to move??! Anyhow, feel very good for it - and am looking forward to dinner, ready in a few mins (chicken and veg plus berries for dessert).

Anyone else out there fasting??

Hi @MaryAnn I hope the typhoon passes without damage, to your fast day too . @Sassy1 glad to hear you enjoyed your swim, you have spurred me on, it is years since I have been swimming. I have a 2 week vacation (around the UK) beginning of August so I shall fit in some swimming and see where I go from there.
Supper vegetables and an egg.

Hi guys i too am fasting today..Satday not my fave day for a fast,but hey ho..
Scrambled eggs and salad later..
Going to the cinema this avvo and just hoping i won't need to wee every five mins.. X
Good luck to an intrepid band of weekend fasters!
I' m hoping to turn this into a back to back x

@CandiceMarie what are you seeing at the flicks? I'm about call Jo hairdresser to see if she can fit in my mop for a chop

@lizbean hi there! We're going to see Love and Mercy..about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys x
Hope you can get fitted in for a lop off your mop! xx

I'm also in today, for my third fast this week. Only four hours to last out till tea, but will probably go for a walk soon.

Well,how did it go,gang?
I can recommend a film on a fasting afternoon..passes the time and takes mind off tummy.
Afterwards we had a cuppa in a cafe that always plays good music..and wewatched the world go by
All the young ones off to an early start for their Sat night out..saw several hen and stags go past..
One hen in Alicein Wonderland outfits,a stag do dressed as Beatles..either sergeant Pepper outfits or as
" moptop" Beatles
Our lift is out of order so had to walk up four floors..was glad i had15 pounds less to haul up the stairs
Well done on your swim @sassy1 .. Hope everyone ok especially @MaryAnn x

@Candicemarie thanks, I'm winning. Hair crop happens next weekend. Did you count the number of stairs? I hope your lift comes back in order soon. Early to bed this eve - despite a good lie in this morning I need to catch myself up
Good luck to all fasting today

Thanks @CandiceMarie! Your evening sounds very interesting!! Agree that going to a film is a good way to help a fast day pass - also means you aren't tempted to buy popcorn or icecream I plan to do similar on my next fast. I think I will see "Mr Holmes". How was "Love and mercy"?

Fast day all finished for me of course . It's not much above 0C outside, but will take the dogs for a walk shortly. Best wishes to anyone still fasting.

Thanks everyone! The typhoon wasn't bad at all in the end...

I recommend the film @sassy1 tho it was a bit heavy and draining x
So glad youre ok @maryann x
Well done Saturday fasters! X
