The FastDay Forum

Well the excess of Easter is finally over and it's time to face the music. Really looking forward to fasting today and getting back with the programme. Bit scared of the scales though lol! Good luck to all fasting today.

Hi Esmeralda, I am fasting today as well. We didn't go too crazy on yesterday--just oatmeal with peanut butter, fruit and greek yogurt for breakfast; vegetable soup for lunch; and rolled tacos with refried beans, rice and 4 oz. chardonnay for dinner--perfection!

As far as sweets-just one small square of dark chocolate with chile. My daughter is 25 and living on her own so we don't have Easter baskets around.

It wasn't hard to be moderate yesterday or to fast (5:2) today. I love this plan! I think it's how I'm going to live from here on out.

Hi, I am not fasting today but planning for Wednesday, which is day 2 for me. I didn't find day 1 too onerous but was very aware of my tummy, even the next day. Funny thing was that the day after I didn't want to eat big meals and everything tasted so good and flavourful. I go on holiday on Thursday for a much needed break, not sure how that'll work! But It is only for a week and suddenly, with this set up I am more relaxed about losing weight. I've been a yo yo dieter for nearly 40 years, so that's saying something!!!

Morning Esmeralda, missed you on Sunday
I'm going to do tomorrow as I find two fasts with one feed a bit tough. Visitors away and managed 6:1 but had a sneaky look and it wasn't encouraging. Not looking forward to the BIG WEIGH IN.but, hey ho , had a good time and getting there slowly (veeeerrrrrrrrry sloooowwwwly)
Have a good day Tuesday fasters

Hello from Tokyo! I'm fasting today as well! It's going to be tough because I made homemade lemon cakes for a Game of Thrones inspired meal, and there is a lot of leftover cake. Just have to keep reminding myself I can eat it tomorrow!

It's almost 3:00, so I only have a few hours until my big dinner. I think I'm going to go do some errands to keep me distracted.

Enjoy your fast day everyone!

*Waves towards Tokyo* we are getting international aren't we.

Good Morning Tuesday Fasters
I'm joining you today after a 10 day skiing (eating) holiday. I have just weighed and have only gained 1lb which I'm quite pleased about.
Good luck everyone

Ha, we'll I was going to have a two week break from fasting but after a wonderful foodie Easter which I thoroughly enjoyed I am very keen to get back to fasting. I'm out for dinner at a friends tonight so I'm skipping breakfast and lunch today and will try nd eat modestly tonight and sty away from the booze, then tomorrow I start back properly with 500 cals to play with.

I'm facing the music as well today. Gained 2kg over Easter - I know its only water etc etc but enough of a shock this morning on the scales to get me fired up for my fast today.

Had a fantastic Easter away in the West Country - no snacking, but 3 fabulous meals out everyday, and lovely local real ale, Plymouth Gin, wine........

Lots of work to do today, and a house to put to rights, so I'll be kept busy till my casoulet tonight. I made a big saucepan of it a few weeks ago, but we pinched all the chicken and sausages out of it, and left a lot of the sauce, which I froze, so I'll defrost that for tonight, with some left over gammon from yesterday

Morning all...10th fast today. I'm getting back to this WOL after Easter and before a big family weekend (ice hockey playoffs and my birthday!). Good luck everyone

Hey Everyone,

I am fasting today aswell. I had a great easter really did. I just know that today will fly in - Although I still have loads of choc left over from easter.

Happy fasting everyone!

Good luck to all fasting today. Its my second fast day today, I think I need it after all the chocolate I scoffed over the last two days! I feel a bit hungover today, too many carbs methinks :-/

Morning everyone,

I'm joining you today after a guilt free Easter, really enjoyed myself eating & drinking what I wanted.
Stomach ready for a rest even if my mouth isn't!!

Good luck Tuesday fasters.

I'm in! Doing 2 alternate days this week, due to bank hol.
Fairly moderate Easter, no massive meals but a certain amount of chocolate and wine... It was daughter's birthday on Saturday so we still have birthday cake in the fridge. But tomorrow's another day.
Happy fasting folks.

First day fasting. Breakfast and dinner planned out and calories counted .... can't stop thinking about food though x
