The FastDay Forum

Who else is in?

I' m in katamac when its morning here!
Lets all have a fab fast and repair day!

I'm in! Healthy fasting all!

Morning all, and evening to people west. I'm just having my black coffee, at work, after going to yoga at 6.30am. I'm so proud of myself for doing that and I feel stretched and ready for the day. Have a good one everyone.

Back to fasting after being far too intermittent nothing like a big shock on the scales to pull my socks up! Seem to have hit my stride with Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. Big bowl of veggies for dinner doing the trick. Good luck all.

I will be when Thursday arrives here. Off to bed soon. Been fasting today too so hopefully won't feel too ravenous tomorrow. I can already hear the voices telling me to throw it and have some wine on the patio. But you're on holiday...the weather's lovely...have some shortbread before it goes mouldy...Must not listen to the voices. Good luck everyone.

@GMH, So happy to see you back! I was only thinking recently about you and wondering where you were and how you were going. Did you stop fasting? Or did you reach goal and do 'maintaining' or where did you go? Report back needed!

@sallyo I reached goal way back last year, maintenance is a major issue for me. I found that when fasting, I ate all those things I had denied myself for years, so I was eating way too much and fasting less. Then I couldn't face fasting and was still feasting = weight gain. Then I would fast, fail, fast, fail. I found I needed to start eating the way I did pre fasting = healthy with a bit of sugar and wine, not whatever I wanted, as I did while fasting (and losing weight). So my challenge now is to fast 3x a week, whilst not going overboard the other days. Then I will try to slowly switch to Krista Varady maintenance of 3x1000 calls. It's all an experiment that could have fails along the way, but I'm relaxed about it.

Morning all, I'm in too. Mushroom, kale and freekeh risotto for dinner tonight. Scales have been up lately so fingers crossed for a good result this week.
Happy fasting everyone.

i'm home from work now to make celeriac soup for dinner. I have to go out to a meeting at 4.30pm which will go until 6. So if I cook now , it will save the desperation later. Now for a liquorice tea.

@GMH . That's all very interesting. I dream of the day when I get to my ideal weight. Will it ever happen? Oh to struggle with maintenance! I would be unhappy if I couldn't eat what ever I like at least most of the days in the week. Good to have you back with us anyway, and keep us posted on the experiment.

Reaching that hard part of the afternoon so having a cup of tea to help. Might get dinner ready soon like @Sallyo yes it sure helps when the food is ready as soon as you can eat it

Hi all,
Doing my first fast in quite some time as I have found it difficult doing it with such massive long days up here in the mines. I have been in limbo since, trying different things without success, sooooo, going back to basics for now and seeing how I go. Even low carb didn't work!!

If It's Thursday, I have to be here.
See you in the morning, dinner is salad w/ some grilled fish. Good luck everyone!

First fast today!! Nervous but excited! Am planning on saving all of calories for this evening except some milk in my coffee!!
