The FastDay Forum

Goid luck today's fab fasters!
I fasted yesterday instead...feels so strange not to be doing my usual thursday! X

Fasting today. Been for a quick run so I can log it into the Jantastic site. Had rather a lot of carbs yesterday so the run was fine. Not long to go now

Just had my black coffee with stevia. I am FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZING. Despite my office radiator being full blast. Think I am going to have to dig out my hot water bottle for fast days, cos I hate the being freezing side effect. Not too hungry though: swings and roundabouts!

Yes, my feet in particular get very cold on fast days, even if I'm at home with the heating on - today I've had a hot water bottle under my feet!

i am really feeling the cold today. My hands are nearly seizing up - which is never good. I've always been on the cold side and thought it was just me but now you mention it it might be down to the fasting!

Finding today harder than other days so far, I think it might be because I fasted during the day yesterday too. Only an hour left at work and then I am off home to make my prawn stir fry for dinner - can't wait!

I'm in today also. I always feel a little envious that so many people have nearly finished their fast by the time I get on here!

Today will be my fourth fast day and so far I'm totally agreeing with the people that only drink all day and save the calories for dinner. I brought egg whites to work just in case I needed something but I think I'll be saving them for tomorrow now. Herbal tea with Splenda and club soda all day then eggplant lasagna for dinner (eggplant slices instead of pasta - perfect for gluten free diets!)

I'm glad a few people mentioned about being cold, I thought it was all in my head!

It's definitely not in your head @LSD, after all you are in Ontario!

That's true... Its warming up to -5C (23F) today though!

I'm with you (rather late reporting in!) and today is the usual run-of-the-mill fasting day. Lots of water and black, decaff tea will see me through to dinner at about 6.30 (we eat earlier on a fast day!), when I have a home-made beef casserole with lots of veg and two or three new potatoes, boiled in their skins, to look forward to! Yum! Just the job for this cold and miserable weather!
Good luck to all of you who have the majority of their fasting day still to go. Mind you, in Britain we still have the evening to get through before we're safe from temptation!

I have been in today..
I had started to suffer but a 2nd Bovril has fixed me until dinner time!

I'm in today but struggling a bit. I am cold and tired and a little cranky! So, I made myself a cup of low cal hot chocolate to help me get through the day! Hopefully that'll help me get through to dinner - scallops, sweet potato and green beans!

I'm in today! I've had another easy fast day with being run off my feet in work. I've decided I'm having a stir fry for tea tonight, super excited.

Oh and I also got the "have you lost weight" question today. BUZZING. I've only lost a few pounds but I've lost 5% of body fat in 3 weeks!! And I feel like that's made a big difference.

Eggplant (aubergine to us Brits) lasagne sounds a dream

Fasting today. Eggs for breakfast and chili and salad for supper.

So far today I've consumed 478 cals. Banana mashed on two slices of brown toast for lunch, chicken and veg soup with two Scan Brans for dinner. Tea and Slim Fruits will see me through the rest of the day hopefully.
