The FastDay Forum

Hi Egduf, I am giving blood tomorrow evening, following a BBQ lunch that I plan to really enjoy prior to my donation, followed by the obligatory biscuits after the donation!

Hi Anne, I always have a big day on my donation days! Good luck with the fast and donation (and biscuits)

I'm in too! I have half of a pot of this chili left over for dinner tonight -- it was amazing!!!! I didn't add any of the sugar or sour cream to it, and I used 86% dark chocolate because I didn't have 100% unsweetened.

So I figure it's about 100 calories per half cup (257 calories in 1.25 cups, made with the sugar and served with the sour cream). I had 400 calories' worth for dinner on Monday and I could not have been more delighted!

Doris -- congrats on losing a stone! That's fantastic!

I always go without food until dinner time. Eating just makes me hungrier!! So I have nothing but calorie free beverages until dinner time

I am glad to see other people doing a 4:3 this week, I am hungry now and dreading Friday!!!
Have drunk 3 coffees with milk in throughout the day so haven't quite managed zero calories. Looking forward to some chicken and green salad tonight at 7.30pm.
Does anyone else go to bed ridiculously early on fast days?!

Well done to Doris, there a lot of us 4.3ers about these days. I like doing it as I like to have a bit of a "purge" before and after the weekend when I am more relaxed about my eating habits.

Spanner I love my fast nights as my husband works his second job those evenings. As soon as little fella falls asleep, my head cannot wait to hit my pillow
