The FastDay Forum

Most of today gone and nobody looking for support or happy to report on that special day that makes things work for us. Well, I'm in today. Did not fast last week and still at the upper limit of my maintenance range, so no excuses today. Anyone else taking up the good work today?

Not today for me, @P-JK, because I fasted yesterday but good luck with your fast!

Me. This is my first fast since last August and it is not going well.

Don't give up, @Elegantly Wasted! Any reduction in calories is a win! Just don't eat more just because it's not going well! Step away from the food!

Keep up the good work @Elegantly Wasted Perhaps doing something where your mind needs to focus will help. I will go speedskating in a few minutes and while doing that my mind will be too busy to sense any hunger

I'm fasting today but have been too busy to report in till now. I'm starting to feel very rumbly with about an hour to go till dinner.
Today has gone quite well, but the last couple of weeks of fasting haven't given me enough of a calorie deficit to see an impact on the scales. More attention to non fast days I think.

Yup! Fasting today in the Western USA! Coffee, a bite of brie, 1/3 apple, some salt and pepper pistachios, a few dried cherries and more coffee so far. Lunch is coming up--homemade veg and chicken soup. Salad and fish tonight, I think. I'm pretty sure I can get in under the wire! Hope all is going well for everyone in the Fast World!
P.S. If today is your first fastday since August, it might as well be your first fastday ever, so cut yourself some slack and figure it's all good!

Well I'm about to go to bed and I'm glad it's over.
I learnt a valuable lesson and that is be prepared.
I had planned to go shopping for ingredients that I would need this morning. However I was up most of the night with a poorly 2 year old and I didn't want to take him out today.
I would probably have been better off postponing my fast to another day when Isaac is better and I was more prepared.
Anyway I'm ending on around 800 and I'm not going to beat myself up about it, Thursday I will nail it!!!!
