The FastDay Forum

I'm in! Feel very motivated because there is little time left to shift a the last bit and reach my xmas target.
Happy fasting everyone! x

I'm in today, trying my first ever liquid fast to try to make up for some of my sins over the weekend

Good luck everyone!

I always do Wednesdays but not today. I am away to my art group Christmas lunch and fully intend to enjoy every bit of it. It may be that I will have nothing else for the rest of the day and I have not eaten through the morning. I will see how I feel tomorrow as to whether I do a repair day then or not. Hope you all have an easy fast.

I'm in today too On a late shift at work and really need sleep as I'm on an early tomorrow so am taking in some soup and porridge and getting to bed soon after I get home. Feeling a bit inspired as I have lost 5lbs in the last 3 weeks despite deviating and losing the plot a bit over the last couple of weeks. This means I have lost just 1lb under a stone since I started. Getting a bit worried about Christmas as I'm at mum's for a week with the family but will see what I can do as I know she will only moan about 'fads'but will just have to convince her LOL

I'm in today. usually fast Thursdays but I have a social day tomorrow

Good luck everyone (and me).

I am in today, then will do it again on Monday. Party Friday night at tennis club for Pompey pluckers (ukele group) so I have written ode to Nelson Mandela, and trying to learn how to play it before then. Should keep me on the straight and narrow today. Will try to get ode videoed + post it online in new year. !st time for me, but I`ll make it with a little help from my friends! Or give it my best shot.

I am in for my usual fast day. Really happy as I have lost my 5lb holiday gain over the past week!! It took me 15 days to gain it on no fasts and too many carbs, so losing it so quickly is very gratifying. This WOE is so effective and forgiving.

Back on the wagon and rolling down to Christmas.

I'm in today. Struggling because I really wanted the time between Thanksgiving (US) and Xmas to be hardcore, but I forgot that is also when every day and eve seem to be filled with fun and holiday cheer. I really need to embrace that philosophy of "one day at a time"

Good luck all!

Nearly ready to go to the restaurant. Well in 2 hours anyway and damn I am feeling weak right now... Weak and freezing cold. But in a very positive note I'll wear a top I wore for the last time for Christmas 1999

Who said one must suffer to be beautiful ?

I'm fasting today too and I've really struggled. Been very snappy and sooo hungry.
Have been with the children on my own all day today but luckily they've been delightful. Hubby on the other hand got an earful when he came home as he shut himself away to do some more work. He's being very loving now which is still managing to annoy me. Can't wait for the day to be over.

@dands - don't feel alone in your snappy mood - I am doing my second fast day in a row today and last time I did this I was Mrs Grumpy Pants. I said to my partner last night 'remember last time I did two fasts in a row?' Response - 'OMG YES you were the crankiest of all the cranky people!!'... Which then obviously made me cranky... a day early...
I find it helps going around telling everyone I'm grumpy - starts to become a bit of a joke after that!
Hope you feel better tomorrow!

Yes I have fasted today,so much easier than usual as have been fully occupied work wise. I have eaten at least 100 kcal less than usual and feel fine.
