The FastDay Forum

Good Morning and perhaps still good evening for some. I'm fasting today and have had the misfortune of waking up really hungry. Well I can't let that stop me so who is joining me today

I am. I seem to need second fast most weeks simply to maintain at my preferred weight.

Hi @Wineoclock - I will join you today, I really bombed with the Fast yesterday.

I have just completed my cortisone medication for the hives, so I am hoping the major side effect of overeating and 'eating through walls' will now right itself, I can't believe how possessed I have been with food this last week!!

Have a great Fast day everybody

cheers Maggie

I' m in too after ive been to bed!
Have a thrilling Thursday everyone,may the fast be with you xx

Not this week. Am visiting mother and there is no way I can fast-though I am managing to skip breakfast as usual.

I'm in also. I skipped Monday's fast as I have an inner ear infection and have to take antibiotics.Much better now so hope to last out the day and finish with a mushroom stew that I tried a couple of weeks ago.
Good luck with your fast Maggie.I'm sure the effects of your medication will wear off soon and you will be back to losing again.

Hi Thursday fasters and those who have chosen not to!

I am in today too.

Like @Wmr309 I seem to need 5:2 to maintain - either due to eating out or the evening munchies... I do wonder how I ever managed to lose weight in the first place!! But I am still hoping to achieve my solstice challenge - but AFTER this weekend as we have a guest from overseas and there will be a lot of eating out...

Hi @Maggiee and @carmelk46 - glad to hear that you are both on the mend and wish you all the best for a successful fast. It's a beautiful day here in Melbourne, isn't it, so hope that helps! Much as I would like to be in the garden, given our guest arrives tonight, house cleaning is the priority!!!

Happy fasting everyone.

Btw @Sallyo, thanks for the idea about licorice/aniseed flavoured tea - I love it! I have tried actual tea leaves as well as the herbal version, and much prefer the former as it has a much stronger flavour. I do love licorice.

Me, freezing cold me. I'd forgotten how horrible it is to fast when it's cold - I'm drinking so much tea, I'm probably getting 500cal just in milk haha good thing I don't usually eat on fast days!

I'm in, have a great day everyone!

I'm fasting today. Feel like I need it too. Seem to have plateaued again, but that will happen when you have a takeaway in the week. Happy fasting and good luck everyone.

I'm in too, didn't manage a whole fast on Monday due to surprise visitors. So we'll see what the day brings.

I'm in too. Good numbers I the scales this morning even though we had a great food and drink relaxed weekend. Plus chocolate birthday cake yesterday. See you all later and good luck.

I'm in today for number 2/3

Count me in too!
I seem to have 'lost the plot' slightly since Easter - School holidays, too much choccie in the house, and then bank holiday Monday with a hungry family around...
I think the scales will reflect all of the above, but I will try really hard to get back on track today and hopefully restore some sort of order!
Good luck fellow Thursday fasters.

I'm in today as well. Like @Wineoclock I was really hungry first thing, despite eating late last night after the gym, but feeling a bit more normal now I'm into my second coffee of the day. Very grey and wet in London this morning.

Good luck to all
