The FastDay Forum

Well, I don't usually fast on a Monday (I'm a Tue and Thur gal), BUT often have felt that I'd like to after the weekend and 3 feast days in a row. I'm going to do Mon and Wed this week as have been invited to a 'do' on Thursday evening where everyone takes a dish along to share and try as we please. This used to be a nightmare occasion for me when I was doing Slimming World, so am really looking forward to it this time round.

Only downside is that OH is still doing Tue and Thur fasting, so it might be slightly awkward as chef Mon - Wed. Chicken and salad for me tonight and he can have the same but with a jacket potato. That should work out okay I think.

Anyway - have a happy fast fellow Mondayers

Good luck, fast day for me too,am actually looking forward to it, didnt think id ever say that

I'm heading towards the end of my fasting day today and just cooking a veg curry minus the rice. Had a cup of fresh blueberries picked straight off the bush for lunch - they have never tasted so good! Good luck today!

I enjoy my Monday fasts (and find them easier) more than the Thursday ones. This is my 7th week and only 1kg to go until my target weight of 57kg so I'm very motivated. Good luck to everyone fasting today.

My OH isn't on the diet, so I will have the same dilemma at dinner times. I'm planning a salad with cottage cheese for me, with the addition of hummus and bread on the side for him.

Hope you have a good fast

My day too, OH should be doing it with me but doesn't always. We are both up for it having eaten out Friday and had an indulgent weekend. Porridge at the ready!

I'm doing my mini fast today, I'm doing a sort of 5.5:1.5 diet, so hopefully nothing to eat at all today until I go out this evening for a meal. Then a 500 cal fast on Weds.

Was a bit of a pig with the chocolates that my children bought me for mother's day yesterday! But hey ho, back to the grindstone today

Have a good fast day!

Me too. Only 3 hours sleep and on a train in the snow at the mo. No fun.

Bit panicky about getting caught in train delays tonight - I'm focussed on my Stroganof at 6,30, not sure how I'll cope with not knowing when I'll get home

I thought I'd join you today. Normally fast on a Tuesday but OH has decided to fast today for his one fast of the week so I felt I should join in!

I'm fasting today and also find Mondays easier than Thursdays - perhaps because I enjoy treats at the weekends (wine, chocolate, cake ) and actually quite look forward to Mondays. Skipping breakfast and dividing my 500 calories between lunch and dinner seems to be working best for me.

Have a good day everyone.

I'm Fasting today! Week 5 for me (I think!)

Finally this weekend, after having no comments at all so far, three people have noticed that I've lost weight
I'm cooking me&hubby a 'fry-up' tonight, 2 veggie sausages, fried egg, mushrooms , tomatoes and a mini tin of beans. Cant wait!

I'm fasting again today too, still full from the weekend at the moment so quite glad of it, not going to work though so a bit worried I will be able to stick to it being at home, I have got plenty of washing, ironing and bed making to do though to keep my mind off food!!

Planning fasting today and Wednesday this week to fit in with my social week.
Off to Zumba now.
Good luck everyone.

Good morning fellow fasters and eyes down look in for another day of abstinence. Mothers Day was also a grandsons birthday so 2 slices of delicious cakes and part chocolate bar consumed taking my cals beyond 2000 so I'm more than ready for a fast today! Good luck everyone :0)

I'm fasting today as well. Not working today but I've got lots to do around the house. I was planning a long walk this afternoon but we've got a fair covering of snow so I'll still get out but it might not be as long and as brisk as I'd like. Made cassoulet from the Hairy Dieters Recipe book yesterday so OH and I will have the leftovers for tea tonight.
