The FastDay Forum

I'm here. Another routine Monday fast.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the special welcome @CandiceMarie! I'm not quite sure why we are dedicating the Fasting Today page to @Ballerinaand why we are so solicitous of @hannydee. I have been away from the forum and no doubt all would be explained by reading the weekend posts! Congratulations Ballerina and look after yourself Hannydee!

I am fasting today, being Monday. I do find it easier to stick to a routine and not vary it, although sometimes you have to. I have been down in Hobart for a few days and have come home full of resolve. I am about to make a giant list and get stuck into productive actions. Black coffee to start me off and then probably left over minestrone soup - doesn't sound very exciting! Maybe I'll buy some fish instead. That's all to go on the list! Create a meal plan for the week, including today.

Have a great day, fasters one and all.

Morning All. @chinchin same weather up here too, very foggy driving down the mountains.
@julianna nice rain we had last night, the gardens will be happy.
Hi @Sallyo just starting with a black coffee too.
Enjoy the fast everyone.

I'm not quite sure why this thread has been dedicated to me either @sallyobut I'm extremely flattered, thank you @lizbean, I assume it's to do with my 2year stint of weight control and my post detailing it all.

I'm in.A miserable day here in Melbourne. I have to visit the oncologist for my six monthly check up so that will help to fill the day.I am not losing weight even though I do two fasts a week but as I'm not putting it on I'll continue this woe. I am feeling good and my friends say I'm looking good so something must be happening.I guess I should eat less on my feast days but it is hard in the colder weather.
Cheers Carmel

First Monday I can recall that I'm not doing a fast. I am in bed with a bad cold and am following the 'feed a cold, starve a fever' directive. I hope I got that right? Scales were good but then I have done no exercise since Thursday. Good luck everyone.

I'm in. Looking forward to it. Good luck all.

Good afternoon/morning everyone!
All the northern hemisphere peoples are a very early lot of posters today! Must be spring in the air??
It's cool in Sydney but nice and sunny this afternoon.
I've been for a walk instead of my swim today -my swimming buddy couldn't go and I was too easily deterred.
Just had some strawberries to keep me going till 6, felt very empty today.
I'm determined to do 2 fasts this week as I've been overeating on the w/e's and just want to lose my last couple of kilos.
Have a good day everyone.

That's what they say in "Meet me in St Louis"- must be right!
Hope you feel better soon.

I'm in today, first fast for a few weeks due to holidays. Really looking forward to it. Did I just say that?

I'm in too. Its just past 3.30 now only just had a hungry feeling. I'll dig some chicken broth out of the freezer in an hour or so. Hi @Wineoclock, I know you like it when it rains at night and is sunny in the morning! So do I. What a lovely day everything looks so clean. The fog was bad last night. We drove back from a tae kwon do tournament in Lithgow in the dark. Hubby thinks he's a race car driver in his turbo car up all the windy narrow roads. I closed my eyes for most of the trip. Chicken and veges stir fry tonight. I'm about to chop up the veges for the week.
Good luck everyone!!

I'm here instead of tomorrow; I don't know why though... I think it's cos I'm eating out this evening and if I have it as a fast day then I'll make better choices instead of following the masses! I've looked at the menu and decided on grilled chicken, will ditch the jacket potato and ask for extra salad instead; it's not far off what I'd normally have on a FD anyway.

Have a good one everyone

Hi all
I am in today, back to work/school after a week off. The last 1/2 term of the school year.

Woken up feeling a bit icky! That sickly hungry kind of feeling... hopefully a black coffee will set me up for the day.

@Mich37 - only seven weeks to go!

I am in planning to fast until this evening. Where arevthe Australian gang? Monday is usually the busiest day. Stick with it everyone, it is only one day. Tomorrow we can eat!
