The FastDay Forum

Meant to say Lincsguy, this is the time of year I keep fluffy socks by the bed as I too get cold feet - when they're not too hot that is! Maybe you could try warm socks if that time of the morning is a bit too early. You could skip the fluffy bit if you want.....

Well done LilSmiler. Enjoy that dinner. You don't want to wake up in the night and have to talk yourself out of a fridge raid

Hi Guys - I'm in again (did it yesterday too) and am reluctantly going to have to do 2 consecutive days this week. I'm off to see favourite cousin tomorrow, who will feed me and then flying to a 4 day wedding bonanza.

So, I have a question!

WHAT, IF ANY, ARE THE DOWNSIDES OF 2 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF FASTING?

Will power will be fine today - I can tell I'm in the right place mentally, but I am very worried about lowering my metabolism and doing my longterm weight loss more harm than good.

Any info VERY gratefully received.

Good morning

Les and I are in today again. Last fast was a disaster. this is a new day and hopefully all will go ok.

Gotta keep occupied as our oldest went back to uni yesterday evening and I'm already missing him like crazy.

Enough whinging - Good luck everyone

This thread got a bit lost in today's traffic!
I fasted today, it went well, I seemed to be busy all day which always helps. A lovely warming Vegetable chilli with Quorn and some Slim Rice for dinner.Enough calories left for an Options at bedtime. An early night for me as it is flipping well freezing here today and way too early in the year to turn the heating on. Still I suppose keeping warm uses more calories.

Sooo happy here in Adelaide! Got through my fourth fast day and even had enough cals left for a hot chocolate last night. I actually fasted from 10pm Monday until 6.30pm on Tuesday accidentally. (Was going to eat earlier but got caught up.) Hunger is a weird beast is it not? I was pretty hungry at 9am, but not later, and when I finally ate all I could manage was a little wee portion.

Awesome job Emillie, hunger is strange how it can disappear and then it's not nearly so hard. Today has been my easiest fast and the lowest in cals, under 200. It's now 6am so will be 48 hours before I eat next. Looking forward to the scales tomorrow.

I'm in today from NC (USA). I only have 1.5 hours to go before I hit the magic 24 hours. Then I'm going to make an easy dinner of fried eggs and veggies. I'm hungry but OK.

I'm sad, however, because someone I love died today. I would appreciate good thoughts/vibes/prayers sent to the family. Thank you.

In as well. Feeling weaker today than on my first 4 fasts. Probably because I worked out in the morning and was wandering around at the mall for a lot of hours just functioning on two big cups of coffee lol. At home chilling catching up on some shows now. Should keep me busy till dinner in 3 hours or so.
