The FastDay Forum

Er? Is it me or am I the only one fasting today?! What going on? Where is everyone?!

The echo in here is quite deafening! I've just finished my long book and thought I'd join my fellow fasters...only to find I'm all alone

I'm not feeling great but I'm going to attempt a little fast (if there is such a thing); may be eat around 700 calories

Yes where is everybody. Good luck to the two of you!

Edit.
Three of you

I am 'in' today @nursebean...waves at beanie! Hope you feel better soon @jeninboston.
Hello Caroline .... you popped up when I did!

Good luck you two and anyone else in for repair today x

Ps and to auriga too! X

Sort of....

By which I mean, hubby and I ate mid-afternoon yesterday as we were out in London, but apart from a bubble tea at about 7pm, we didn't eat afterwards. I planned to fast today as normal, but am feeling more than a bit hungry so am going to modify a bit. Just had a packet of M&S sour cream and chilli lentil curls and am going to try and make it through till dinner on those... Dinner being roast pork. Just a question of avoiding the yummiest bit, the crackling

Oh, good to see! Have a good day @Auriga and @jeninboston and feel better soon Jen

Bean

Oh @Winsome are you on the brink?

I am in today, just slow getting going. Sunday is one of my usual fast days but not very popular as you noted, Bean. I am back on 5:2 after a brief dalliance with ADF, and trying to limit my daily carbs to 75g max. I ate an entire avocado yesterday as well as cheese omelet, some chicken, lots of cheese, low carb veggies etc and my weight is down 0.5 lb today

I hope this plan is going to get me off this plateau where I have been living for over 2 months (the plateau did have some "peaks" on it but I got down from them )

Going to try to save all my 500cal for supper but we'll see...
Happy with black coffee at present. Good luck all (?4 or ?5)of us

A bit thin on the ground in here today! So far I've had a boiled egg and three coffees, I have got to make it to seven o'clock and then will have chicken, asparagus and baby leaks...can't wait!
I hope you get off that plateau soon @judithn.

I'm doing ok Bean. The ironing is keeping me from nibbling, although the smell of roast pork and garlic roasties, plus apple sauce, is not making life easier

I've had a very bad week - fasting wise! Every day I was trying to make up unsuccessful fasting the day before, so this is my one and only successful fast today!! I pigged out yesterday so it was easy and i'm feeling better that I at least got one fast in this week! I don't know what went wrong this week.. Oh well, Monday tomorrow!

I'm here today...going to be a busy day here: cleaning up the house, grocery shopping, school planning for the kids...guess that will work to my advantage, keeping me busy and not thinking about food.

This week was kind of all over the place for me; wanting to fast on 2 other days, but failing due to work obligations...I will pull 2 fasts this week instead of the 3 I wanted, but even when I had to abort those 2 fasts this week, I still ate really decently so I don't feel too horrible about it.

Tomorrow will be the start of my THIRD week into this plan, and I am really happy to have lasted this long.

Well I failed today. I was just so hungry by dinnertime. Oh well, that's the first time in nearly a month of ADF that I've not stuck to 500.

I'm not feeling great but I'm going to attempt a little fast (if there is such a thing); may be eat around 700 calories

Thanks for the well wishes but I'm not doing too well so I've decided its best I forget about fasting today. Thankfully, there are still a few more days in the week
