The FastDay Forum

I'm in today and struggling with it bigtime. Usually i don't have a problem with not eating all day, but for some reason today is hard work. Drinking lots and dreaming of my ham and mushroom omelette and salad tonight.........

Yes i am in! With a vengeance! Feel really ready for first time in many weeks to pony up!
Good luck everyone, a galloping good dY to all..and well done to @Debs and anyone else down under whose day will now be virtually done!

Count me in too. I have not had one easter egg over the long weekend. Have had chocolate tho. Good luck all fasting today.

Tuesday just starting here. I will 16:8 but can't do a full fast as out for dinner tonight and intend to enjoy

I'm in too today - good luck everyone

I'm fasting today as well. I haven't eaten since yesterday 7 pm.
I even managed to skip lunch, although that raised a few questions with my colleagues .
Not skipping dinner though. And after dinner no eating until tomorrow morning.

I'm feeling really good about my resolve after eating till I burst during Easter .

Lovely to see you Daydreamer. Hope you had a lovely holiday!

Well I'm definitely NOT fasting today but thought I'd just pop in and send you all some good fasting vibes. Hope it goes well for you!

I am in today too....just had coffee so far...salad tonight. Good luck folks!

I'm in. Quite excited at trying out counting carbs instead of counting calories on my feed days - its a way of eating I haven't tried before. Having spicy chicken breast with salad tonight, then I will breakfast tomorrow on almond & blueberry porridge, prawn salad for lunch and roast chicken with veg for dinner. Then it's back to fasting on Thursday. Time to make tonight's dinner now, I think.

Somewhat late in checking in.....but I'm in! It's 7pm here now, & the day has gone fine so far - barely thought about food today......what's that all about?!

Well done everybody!

How does It feel to be back in SanFran@rawkaren? X

@hazelnut20 i feel the same..the day's gone well..funny how some fast days are easier than others..wish i could put my finger on the magical factor that means i can just breeze thru a fast n repair day..
got lots of tasks done too that had been hanging round,so a doubly good day X hurrah!

Hmmm @joyful janet might give the counting carbs rather than cal counting a try soon..good idea x!

And @Motherof2 respect on non eating of easter eggs! ( i had two full size ones plus a few small ones too they were gorgeous but now a distant dream...onwards and downwards from today! ) x

Well the fast day is nearly over but I have been doing it and doing well!!

First day fast after a gluttonous Easter weekend filled with a stinking cold! Had to cancel half my plans and ate out of grumpiness. Surprisingly the old saying "Feed a cold" did not help at all so have fasted today and am actually feeling better!

I'll be back tomorrow again as the only way I can manage a 5:2 this week is with a back-to-back. Scary stuff!!

Hope you all had a good day xx

Get well soon @spanner
Colds may be minor but they sure are miserable..wish they could find a cure!

I've finished with Tuesday now, so goodnight all. Good fast today. I have that flat tummy feeling and I'm looking forward to breakfast in the morning.

Well done @Sallyo isnt that flat tum feel one of the best feels in the world! X

Hi there. I'm a 35 year old active male. My height is around 5'8" and I weight around 175. I want to give this lifestyle a shot but I don't want to lose any weight. I want to reep all the benefits excluding weight loss. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Todd

Just wanted to say welcome@Freshkoebrown!
Might be an idea to post this in the introduce yourself section..more peeps will see yr post, and am sure plenty of peeps will have advice for you re benefits without the weight loss
I' m not in that enviable situation yet! Good luck and enjoy this lifestyle! X
