The FastDay Forum

Just opened my work email having been away for three days ................ and birthday cake is on the menu today at 3.30pm ....... I thought I'd got away with it being absent from work but nothing goes past my colleagues enjoying a nice piece of birthday cake. So yes I'm in, but some of those cals will be cake

Happy fasting day to all

Oh, well done PeonyBlue! It was someone's 50th birthday at my work today, but luckily no cake. You did extremely well! And I am so interested in the Scottish vote. What do you hope for Janeg? Independence or not? As an outsider, I'm not up to speed with all the issues but I note that the Scottish Greens are saying 'vote yes'. This is probably another thread, but, how interesting!

YES all the way @Sallyo. It is very exciting and, much as I am passionate about it, it was mentioned a wee while ago that a 'political' thread isn't really apt for this forum ...

I'm in today, first fast for a while, after another long weekend away and too many lapses to remember. Have just had a cup of tea so far (this will be banned in Scotland if they leave us), and have no particular plan as yet for my two meals, one at 2pm and one at 6pm. Probably a veggie burger and Warburtons Thin for lunch, but 300 cal evening meal is a mystery. Good luck to all fellow fasters, and especially to all Scots, everywhere .

I was in the quiet carriage if the train and that bloke was rustling chip packets, lunch wrappers and kept eating like a monster! Seriously he didn't stop for an hour! I could almost count the calories lol. Actually it smelt foul, fish erk, canned asparagus erk. Now pizza would have had me snatching some :-) unfortunately I wasn't well organised and ate too little, was still hungry and now I have gone over by 150 cals, however since I am sort of in maintenance I'm not that fussed. I just know I have to get more organised. Have a family cruise with morning tea and lunch, this Sunday so need to fast Saturday or Monday. Weigh day tomorrow. Good luck tomorrowers. Looking at the Scotland vote with interest.

Hello Sallyo and everyone else fasting today!

I usually now fast on Fridays to maintain, but we're going away to a kinda camp on Friday, so changed my fast day to a Thursday, where I can control what I eat.
Sallyo, I had my morning coffee first, before my morning yoga. Usually I always do yoga before breakfast (on an empty stomach) so it was nice to do it more leisurely.
Sallyo, I know you walk. But you also draw??? I also like arty things. Just now making a birthday card for a son-in-law. It is only 1 pm here so I still have hours to go...

Going well! Just had lunch time coffee. If I allowed myself I would happily eat but am comfortable not eating. Usual mantra of 'I can have it tomorrow'

Good luck all! Should be fasting today but a trying day has led to bacon on toast x

I'm in for the day, going out tonight, but eating nothing until then, so something more than a 16:8. Good luck to all doing the full day.

Hello everyone - a late poster here as have been out all day.

4pm & nothing has passed my lips other than drinks...so things are looking good! As well they need to, because this is only my first fast of the week.....yikes!!

Might throw a back to back tomorrow but will see how I feel when tomorrow comes. Keep the faith all xx

Hi there everyone! I'm like you @Hazelnut20...a late poster! Had a busy day doing this that and the other and am now poop a looped. Have only sold 2 items today which is a little discouraging. Hey ho!

As for food, I've bean very good and have saved myself up for my M&S chicken with cheese sauce and smoked ham. I really can't wait now because I am feeling rather weak and wobbly...but I will hold out for as long as I can.

How has everyone else's fast gone today? Good I hope.

Tomorrow I will be back to 16:8. I'm in the zone at the moment. Not long how long it will last but I'm in the zone!!

Did it! Two fasts done this week. Nearly caved when cutting hubby a slice of my fruit cake this afternoon but held out. Have had my veggie shepherds pie I made and am full. Will enjoy my breakfast tomorrow.

Well done everyone, special shout out to @Bobshouse yeh, you did it

One slice of Victoria sponge from a great London baker for me under birthday duress - at 3.30pm - no idea of cals would have preferred refreshing veg and protein but that is now for tomorrow
