The FastDay Forum

Well the wet fish has been hiding and it's very dry, but I soaked it overnight and gave myself a good slap this morning. The clothes are tight, the scales are too scary to get on, so I'm off again. I am restricting to under 1000 cals and plan to get vack to 3 days a week. I find if I commit here I!m more likely to succeed. Good luck anyone joining me. ps tight pants really are a good reminder to keep food out of mouth.

I'm here today @GMH as I too have been avoiding the scales and when I hopped on the other day I didn't much like what I saw! Nothing but tea and water til this evening when I will have a small baked sweet potato with a spoonful of chilli con carne and a dollop of cottage cheese. Happy Thursday fasting everyone.

Wishing you all well, I'm off to bed soon and then fasting tomorrow.
I feel we fail to report back at the end of our fast day, how well we did etc. This might assist our success, accountability to you and ourselves? Good idea?
Yes, I am fasting tomorrow, good luck to all, especially newbies.

Don't mention the scales! Good morning,@GMH, @Pilchards. I'm in. I think I'll try something different today. I'll have my meal at lunch time. Hopefully this will avoid the afternoon desperation and I will just have a very light tea at night. I have to manage cold weather and being at home all day. It's minestrone soup which I made last week and has been in the freezer. I'm going to add some cabbage . I picked my first cabbage for the season yesterday. And I agree, @Lizbean, it's good to report back when the fast is over.

@Sallyo thanks. I'll report back tomorrow! When I have lunch it's a fab array of 150 cals, I find I need to choose wisely but it works.

@Lizbean/tag] yes I usually pop in on way home rather than t end of day., good idea. [tag]Sallyo Late lynch has been the most successful for me but I have breakfast too. Being so active, I get hungry and I would eat anything if I get hungry! I still find that ANY calorie restriction 3 days a week leads to weight loss, so I can easily eat 3 good meals for 1000 cals, not feel like I'm dieting and lose weightm so NO excuses

I ' m in for Thursday Thrills x long time since ive done a Mon- Thurs fast..used to do them each week
Next week think will go back to back to backs
I agree too @lizbean i often forget to report back at end of a fast day,will do so in future x
good luck all and Happy Fasting! X

@CandiceMarie back to back - I do think peeps find their fasting momentum, AFD/4:3 would wear me out. Have you tracked your success of B2B v 52Mon/Thurs? xx

Me too @lizbean ADF made me feel overwhelmed and beside myself
Back to back seems to suit - to my amazement!
I have been too random for the last month or so to track M/T v B2B but will observein future..now i've ponied up and got back on my horse clippety clop! X
Nite nite,sweet dreamzzzzzzzzz Liz and anyone else around who's ready for Land of Nod x

My scales are evil, my clothes are shrinking and next week I leave for a 7 week OS trip when I am not going to fast at all. :cry
Never mind, Ill just staple my mouth shut when I get back

I'm fasting and flying today.

Good luck, Thursday fasters!

Do you mean that literally or figuratively, @MaryAnn?

Literally. I'm just about to board my US flight!

How exciting @maryAnn enjoy the trip! X

Who else is fasting today? I'm going through to dinner time (salad and fish) and then I'll report back before bedtime how my day went. @MaryAnn they say it's good to fast when flying .....
