The FastDay Forum

Morning everybody,

This is my 3rd week but only my 3rd actual fast day - always do well on a Monday but never quite get through week to do it again on Thursday.

I've eaten about 2000 calories on 'non-fast' days which is over my TDEE of 1700 so I'm lucky that I've still managed to lose 1lb a week. I'm puppy walking for the police so having to walk a german shepherd several times a day, as well as my own dog means I do about 20,000 steps a day and I think this has helped. I'm sure I'd do so much better if I cut the calories down slightly on feast days

Have a good day everyone

Looking forward to my fast day today after the weekend indulgences and in preparation for trying out Paul Hollywood's hot cross buns at the end of this week. Hope they're as good as his scones.

Good luck all you Monday fasters.

Fasting today too father a weekend of over indulgence. But it's 7am and I'm hungry already and very much not in the mood.

I feel like that too Sarah, not sure whether to do today or Tomorrow, I'll decide after I take the kids to school I think.

I'm in too. Overdid the wine this weekend, so looking forward to a cleaning healing day. Off to the gym shortly, then working from home.

Have some pork left from last nights roast, so will make a 500 cal something with that and some veg tonight.

Fasting today - it is chilly, but I don't mind. I like the discipline of starting off the week with a fast. Good luck to everyone!

Yes another fasting day for me , and its our 13th wedding anniversary. Had a bit of a cake fest last week when everybody bought in their cakey creations to be tried and tested to work, but hey hopped on the scales and another 2lb disappeared. Well happy with that . Happy fasting day everyone!

Hi All, Just completed 3rd fast day, into 2nd week. Lost a kilo so feeling very pleased with myself!
Seemed harder but managed and its nearly bed time in NZ so success. Willpower works. Next fast day is Wed as going away for Easter and need to shop and organise for that on Thurs. Have been eating breakfast and dinner at 12 hour interval on a 1/3 2/3 split of calorie allowance, but might try one evening meal on fast day and see how that goes.

Fasting today, and it is freezing. The carriage on this mornings First Great Western train was not working amidst the normal apologies, and the heating in the office doesn't come on till 8am, I still haven't warmed up with only the prospect of hot black coffee and some miso soup for lunch, roll on dinner time, not to mention spring!

6th fast for me today. I decided to have my only meal in the evening and drink lots of tea until then. Before I had my 500 calories through the whole day. I have a hard time to keep myself motivated because my weight did not change a bit.

And me! Think I'll split it 120 bfast and the rest for supper.

It's so encouraging to see so many others - I have found it quite lonely before and knowing that I'm not alone is brilliant!!

Am fasting too and having one meal this evening. Lots of water and black coffee during the day and I have found an oxo cube dissolved in mug of hot water really helps at lunchtime. I really like my Monday fast after weekend indulgences.

I'm fasting today. Decided to change to Mon & Thurs this week as the Easter holiday starts on Friday. Got to do some online food shopping in a bit...not sure if that will help or hinder! Dinner will bee late cos I have to take DS to an after school activity which finishes at 7. However, dinner is at least planned...courgette "spaghetti" and Bolognese sauce.

Good morning, I'm joining the fasters today.

I have my dinner all planned (Pollock steaks baked with courgettes and tomatoes, and celeriac/cucumber salad), even allowing for a quick after-school event where politeness dictated that I accept a biscuit or hot cross bun or whatever the kids have prepared
Hmm 9 hours to go...


Hello Swedey - you're definitely not alone!

OH and I fasting today - really looking forward to not eating till around 5 as definitely over indulged at the weekend....lots of herbal teas and black coffee
