The FastDay Forum

Well here we are, another day...and another fast. I'm in after a short break. Hoping to do today and Thursday fasts this week then MWF next week. Here we go...

@nursebean you sound as positive as ever and I hope that you are feeling better. I'm also fasting today as usual (Tues and Fri routine) and all set with our menu to look forward to this evening. (OH in the swing of it again after his heart surgery 6 months ago.) Have a good day all Fasters out there.

Hi Tuesday Fasters! Have a Terrific Day!
I am planning back to back for today and tomorrow and glad to be back in the saddle,clippety clop! X
Good luck Fellow Fasters! X

I'm in today .. not my usual day but bank holiday got in the way of my normal Monday fast !

Back after 17 days in sunny Florida with a gain of 3 pounds which I am pretty pleased about given it was very hard to try and eat healthily ( I was on holiday 3 male flying friends and my husband none of whom were keen on salad !!) and I did no fasting.

So good luck to everyone fasting today may the rumbles be minimal

I am fasting today. Glad to know that I am not alone. Good luck to all other fasters today.
I was umming and aahing about the fast today. I did not fast last week at all. But my cousin and I did a lot of walking and other exercises like yoga together. so I had not put on so much weight as I feared. On Monday I weighed only 52.8 kg. But then in the night I had all kinds of weird back pains. My back has been bothering me more recently. So I remembered the health benefits of fasting, and decided to give the 'repair mode' a kick start today. It is my usual routine of fasting, the worst is already over but the last little bits feel worst of all. Haven't eaten anything yet, have felt really cold at times. Will have milk with my tea at 15:00 - and then 18:00 supper with Hubby. He will have rice and I will have salad, otherwise we eat the same thing. My back is already a lot better. Yippee!

Fast day for me today too. Not lost anything for about 3 weeks now, so I'm being strict with myself. At the moment I'm 5:2-ing, and don't want to have to increase to 4:3 if I can help it!

Today's plan is to fast completely until 5ish, and have some turkey meatballs in a tomato sauce for tea, with salad and hopefully nothing else. That will be approx 400 calories, so leaves room for an emergency cup-a-soup if necessary.

Good luck everyone!

@RedRobin I am very impressed with just a gain of 3lbs after a fab holiday in Florida! That's is totes amaze!
Candy backtoback...ing again?! Very brave indeed!
May the fasts be with you!!

Having spent the long weekend with family and all the food that comes with it, I'm definitely fasting today!
@Margotsylvia glad to hear your back is already a lot better. I feel the same, a good fast improves my knee no end. Fasting is my knee medicine, it works for me for now.
Planning this weeks menu and then I'll wander to the shops (not a great idea shopping on a fast day, I'll be good ). Tonight is sea bass on a bed of marinated courgette spaghetti. YUM.
Happy fasting everyone.
@nursebean were you really up at 3.30AM, not sleeping well? Well that's what it says my end.

@nursebean I think I must have walked about 100 miles in those 17 days !!

Also much to my amazement I didn't actually want any of the stuff that I thought I might which I am entirely blaming on this WOE and the fact it was sooooooooooo hot , I am used to North Carolina hot but 90+ degrees and 98% humidity made me feel like my face was melting like a candle !

However I have come back with a terrible addiction to buffalo prawns .. I need to see if there is a healthy way to make them

We went to Florida for Easter, it was gorgeous weather apart from downpour when we were in island of adventure, where did you get to?
I put 5lb on in two weeks.
And lost it in two fasts, really good strict ones mind you.
I am also fasting today and may do the AWF. Alternate week fast that@nursebean is doing we shall see how I feel after this weeks weigh in.

@carieoates we were based in Davenport as we were there for the big airshow at Lakeland, but we traveled about a bit .. up to Venice Beach one day which was lovely , and then across to Tampa and down that coast a little which I preferred as it seemed to be a bit less humid but that might just be my imagination !
We also stayed a weekend in St Augustine which I would love to go back to as its such an historic area.

Well done on the 5 pounds , I thought I would put on more but the heat seemed to keep my carb monster asleep

Where did you head to ?

Today is my first fast back and I'm quite enjoying it , hopefully my pounds which will drop as quick as yours

Biting my nails waiting for hubbie to come home so that I can break my fast!
Having a less than 500 calories ready meal. Easy.
Hope everyone else has had a good fast day.
