The FastDay Forum

Good morning all!
Nice and sunny here in Sydney.
I'm in on a Wednesday again as I'm meeting a friend tomorrow for lunch-how I love this flexibility.
Have a good fast day everyone.

I am in too. Unfortunately it is a rainy and windy day in Hong Kong today. In fact no office today due to the hoisting of the Typhoon warning signal. This is not so great for fasting - as what else do you want to do on a wet, windy day inside (other than eat comfort foods)?? But I shall nonetheless stick to the plan: a slice of mushroom and asparagus frittata (recipe on this forum) with cucumber salad for lunch and another slice for dinner along with steamed zucchini and a bowl of carrot and coriander soup. 500 calories exactly!

I'm fasting here in the U.S. when its Wednesday - still 10 pm on Tuesday, tho. Like Mondays and Wednesdays and then its over for the week. Not exactly looking forward to fasting BUT, when it comes down to it, its so much easier than in the beginning .. its not really that difficult at all.

Good luck everyone on your Wednesday fast !!!

After much deliberation I am also fasting today as trying a 4:3 this week.
Massively overindulged last night with a bottle of white wine and chocolate so looking forward to feeling healthier tomorrow!

On a bad note have just had a row with the hubby, and its made me feel a bit fed up. He has been talked into fasting by some friends of ours and he is quite grumpy on it. There is a part of me that wishes he would just give it up rather than be impossible but hoping when he sees the benefits that he will cheer up. I normally comfort eat when I feel blue but thats obviously out today!

May the day go quickly!

Hello I'm in today - Wednesday 7.45 am in the UK. I did my first one on Monday (after 4 months off) and it went well, so hoping today goes as well. Home all morning then meetings this afternoon - will have some home made pepper soup at lunch time and have a low calorie ready meal for supper.

Have a good day everyone!

Hi spanner,
Hope you are doing ok- grumpy hubbys are not good!

I'm fasting today...glad I'm at work to do it though; being at home and fasting is not a good combination for me lol anyway, have a good day everyone!

Morning all,

I'm in too. Sliding towards maintenance but could do with losing a little bit more. Bit worried in case I relax too much and put it all on again.
Weather quite nice at the moment in NW UK.
Have a good fast day everyone.

I'm in today also.

yep I'm in today too. Doing the 4:3 Mon, Wed and Friday and this is my 7th fast day. I struggle to drink enough as I am busy at work but I'm working on it lol. x

I enjoy reading about other folks' fasting and day to day events.

Just getting underway with 16:8 fasting, now that it's evening in Sydney.
I'll continue with the 16 hours until late lunch time, and then enjoy the 8 hours window of eating. I'll fully fast on Friday this week.
I 'look' less weighty although my measurement stats are ethereal, my scales wobble with me. But I think I weigh less than I did a week ago...
Best wishes to us all.

I'm in too today, 2nd fast this week,
I'm in work thankfully. Fasts are also easier that way!

I'm in today too. Having reached maintenance I've had a couple of somewhat messy eating weeks - let's see ... there's been 4 birthdays, one lots of visitors and one trip away. It's been tricky to see what maintenance is going to work for me! So I'm going back to fasting basics for now (I'm sure I wouldn't much like what the scales say). I've had a good day so far - it's 6pm now - may you all succeed!!

I'm in today for my second fast of this week. Monday's fast went well and I managed to stay just under 500cals. Last week was a bit of an off week for me as my hubbie was at home. I managed to fast throughout the day but went overboard on the calories in the evenings. Thinking of doing 4:3 this week to make up for it but I'll see how I feel on Friday.
