The FastDay Forum

Come on Aussies, get out of bed! It's a gorgeous sunny day here in Devonport and I'm at work already. Off to get my black coffee from the staff room - I bring my own plunger on Thursdays.

I up @Sallyo I'm up!! beautiful day here too.

Yes I'm in, was beautiful here too. Now clouds coming over. Short work day so hopefully easy fast day. Good luck all. I am thinking next week I might start my trial if 2x500 and Tuesday 1x1000. Almost at goal weight, so I'll test it.

Sallyo kicks off the fast again!

I'm eating my last bites of Wednesday's dinner and then no more food for me until tomorrow at 5:30.

Hi Fasters, I'm here too. Icy start to the day of 4 degrees. WHAT? Where did that freezing cold come from? At least it'll be 19 and sunny.

I've walked, gymed, eaten two boiled eggs for protein, now it's water and tea until breakfast Friday. I think I've got my mojo back.

Thanks for getting us started, Sallyo!

Met up with a colleague on the way to the train station...his long legs had me puffing up the hill to school! Exercise achieved for the morning, though definitely not the last of it. My new office is down the other side of the hill on our campus, so I hold off my morning coffee til I do another walk up the hill to check in with our admin assistant, so more exercise (though a little more sedate than this morning's walk.) Nearly 5000 steps achieved and it's only 10am

Off to a long meeting with lunch provided in a bit...not sure how I'll manage that...hoping for plenty of strawberries etc on a fruit platter that I can nibble on so I don't have to sit there with an obviously empty plate Was hard enough saying no to the cake-pops provided at the last meeting I was at.

@KataMac, I hear you on the icy morning - apparently it was just under 2 near me when I got up this am...quite weird after we had a 29 day the other day! No wonder it was hard dragging myself out of bed...especially with no warm porridge to get me going! I sometimes think I should go back and follow your breakfast eating example for my fast days.

@GMH I'm with you on the almost to goal thing, and contemplating making one of my weekly fasts quite relaxed to see how it goes. I'm planning to try 6:1 as maintenance, so slowly ease off my 2nd day fast to a normal day over a number of weeks.

All the best everyone, and may the fast be with you!

Hi All,

I am new here and starting my first fast day on Thursday... I am in California so it is still Wednesday night. I like that all of you will be a little ahead of me and I will follow your lead!

How is everyone going today? Our nice day is slowly deteriorating and now it's cold and overcast. I have my veggie chilli simmering on the stove, come on dinner time.
What's for dinner fellow fasters?

Yes, I'm in too. Joining the Aussie brigade. Baked salmon and salad for dinner. So far a very good fast!

Lose, Lose, Lose, and lose some more!

I'm in - sunny here too. I have a meeting till 5pm and then another 7-9pm .............. so not much time for eating lots of fizzy water. Good luck everyone.

Yes I'm in today back2back with yesterday my 3rd of my 4:3 week yesterday's fast didn't go completely to plan though.

Welcome@AllyO Good luck with your first fastday

I'm not fasting today, busy busy busy and need the energy, will fast tomorrow. Have a good day everyone

Well another fast over, successfully. Had a mini protein bar at 9am, then smashed veggies with a bit of butter at 2.30pm, few coffees and an 8 cal hot choc.

I am in
My 1st Back to Back fast because I missed my
Monday fast (holiday) (up 4 lbs!!) so I thought I would try Wed Thurs
Fast to get back on track.
Does it matter if you change the fasting days?
Or should you keep to the same pattern?
Yesterday was harder then last week but so pleased
to feel back in control (huge for me) and the scale agreed this
Morning (Yay)
Thought I might try the Veg curry for dinner tonight.
Hugs for everyone

P.S
Warm welcome to AllyO. Wishing you well
Today on your 1st Fast.
