The FastDay Forum

Good Morning Tuesday Fasters
Today is my 9th Fast and I'm looking forward to it, I just wish I hadn't woken up so early, it is going to be a long time till dinner. The sun promises to shine here again today so I plan to be out and about as much as I can.

Mini lunch of soup is defrosting, and Waitrose helpfully had some of their Love Life ready meals on special offer yesterday, so a 300 cal Chicken casserole with a lot of extra veg for dinner (in about 12 hours time)

Good luck everyone

Me - feel like I need a fast day after weekends eating & drinking.

Lots of Redbush tea throughout the day. Bovril and celery (to dip in- lol) at lunch. Dinner is going to be a nice spicy chicken breast with a BIG salad.

Have a good fast day everyone xx

Sunshine must help

Love your signature, Do you mind if I copy it? That's exactly my theory too. Life is getting in the way this week (!) so I fasted yesterday, after quite a heavy lunch on Sunday (at a friends) I was grateful for this strategy as it definitely gave my body the rest it needed

Yesterday was only my 3rd fast, actually think I may call them 'rest days', and although I'm looking forward to my breakfast I'm quite chilled about Wednesday too.

Take today as a present

Me too!

Just tucking into a bowl of strawberries, to be followed by a mushroom and spinach fratttattta thingie

Good luck to all!

Annie, please feel free. And I'm glad yesterday went well for you

I am fasting today I can't believe this will be my 6th one! I will be having lots of glasses of hot water with slices of lemon whilst at work until 1pm, then I try and keep busy and choose something nice for tea, so far I have only tried ready meals as the calories are counted for you! I have this around 5pm followed by a ww dessert and this seems to work for me. Good luck to everyone else fasting today!

Tenth fast today, have got a cold (feed a cold??) but the sun is shining and dinner is only 10 hours away so everything is good!!!

Update: turned into the worst fast yet, feeling rough with the cold etc. Monster plateful for dinner, guessing 900 cals, and feeling better now. This last couple of pounds is going to be much harder - maybe my original target was correct?

Hi I am fasting today and its only 8.15 am and I am hungry already,at least the sun is out.good luck to everyone fasting ,have a good day.

Joining you today on my, probably, 34th fast! Had pasta for dinner last night so not the ideal pre-fast dinner! No idea what I'll have tonight apart from lots of veggies...will have to stop off at the supermarket on my way to pick up DS from school. Currently sipping redbush tea whilst catching up on the forum.

hi
think this is my 5th fast and have woke up hungry, which is unusual for me but am hoping to go all day on just liquid and have a Tesco Fish Pie with salad for tea, that should take to about 500 cals

good luck all

Hi all,

I'm fasting today too. Usually my days are Monday & Thursday, but woke up yesterday feeling rubbish, after a rotten night's sleep, so thought I'd leave it until today.

I'm going to try to go through until dinner today, with just lots of lemon green tea and water. I also want to try to avoid carbs if I can, so if I get desperate this afternoon, I'll have a boiled egg, then for dinner, I've got some lovely lean pork marinating in rice wine at the moment, so I'll just throw that in the wok with a bag of stir fry veg and a dash of Blue Dragon sauce. Nice and easy.

Have a good day everyone.

Me too - my oh I forget no. fast but probably 8th in this run... heinz minestrone soup for lunch after spin class, but seeing lucky7s celery mention, I'm going to get some too!

Still very little weight loss but I'm sticking with it

Fasting today too as didn't manage yesterday... but feel like I'm coming down with stomach bug as i feel sickly, so intend to stay in drink lots of herbal tea and look after myself, will probably be an easy fast as I don't want to eat anyway. Good luck all.

I'm fasting today too. Must be in the zone as I just managed to make a bacon sandwich for my husband without a pang of jealousy! Got a nice pot of peppermint tea for now and looking forward to salmon and veg tonight.

I'v had a very over indulgent weekend. It was our wedding anniversary on Sunday and we were over at the in-laws for lunch and my mother in law made us a lovely chocolate orange cake then out for dinner to the Thai restaurant in the evening, had a couple of beers. And on Saturday night we had friends over and a few bottles of wine. So very calorific weekend. And couldn't fast on Monday because we had the rest of the chocolate cake to finish. Now it's all gone so there's nothing in the fridge to tempt me today

It's nice and sunny here today. Took the baby to get his vaccines this morning then we went for a wee walk round the block and to the shops. Now he's BFing on my lap while im typing this, just about to put him down for his nap.
Got left over roast chicken boiling for stock, making chicken and veg soup to eat for dinner tonight.
I'v prepared myself for the day with fizzy mineral water and a packet of chewing gum.

Good luck everyone and if anyone is feeling hungry just remember, it will pass!
