The FastDay Forum

My first fast today, so far a cup of herbal tea and a rew crunchy carrott - Feeling OK , keeping really busy, spring cleaning - Beautiful day here on my mountain in Spain, think I'll have to have a light lunch, to get me through till supper - Lots of fresh veggies, and salad& herb leaves from the garden

Ninth fast day, fifth week. Been for a long walk through the woods with my kids and my mum this morning, and will probably go out and prune the roses in the garden this afternoon (a job I've put off because it's been so cold this year!). I'm going to go through until dinner again today - a Hairy Dieters recipe cottage pie. Yum!

Hello one and all,
Happy to read this thread this morning...really, I logged on to see if there was any inspiration and I have just found it. Today I start my ninth fasting day but this morning the scales showed plus 2 kilos and I thought to myself "why am I bothering?". I have been good all week but time of the month has made an appearance on the scales and it is SO frustrating. Was thinking to chuck in the white flag but have decided against it after reading this thread. It isn't exactly a hardship, is it?
Wishing everyone a GREAT start to their week.
PS Black skies and the heavens have been open since 3am, here in "sunny" Turkey!

Hi Kelly
If you are suffering from water rentention don't worry, it will be gone soon. Don't give up. I used to try not to weigh on "those days" but I can't stop myself, and I always enjoy seeing the reduction a few days later.
I hope the rain doesn't last too long either, I love Turkey.

Well. Made it through another fast. Wonderful. What fast number was this??? No idea. 9 perhaps?? Who cares! Weight is dropping and I am appreciating life a lot more from the experience. Where was Aussie Kaz today ??? Hang in there girl.

Oops ..... I'm fasting today - usually go through until a large bowl of soup when I get home (about 6pmish) - but have just fallen off the wagon! Was walking through the market and Pink Lady apples 6 for £1 and I LOVE Pink Lady - now back at my desk happily munching. Have given 2 away - so temptation to eat all 6 is not on the cards

Monday faster aswell, 5th Fast - 3rd week in, unfortunately got struck with a horrid cold. Trying to bear with it for the time being and topping up with extra vitamins and supplements on fast days. It's going to be a night in with the fiance and puppy for me!

Just saying hi and good luck to Monday fasters. Hope it's going well. Easter was a blip for me so I have not fasted for 10 days and have put on a couple of pounds. Boo hoo! Back into it now.

I'm on my second ever fast day today, after the 'trail attempt' went well last week. I woke up at 8am and it's now 2pm, still going from the morning coffee but starting to feel peckish. Planning on popping into town so there's no temptation to raid the fridge, and that way I can have a good 500cal dinner. Good luck to everyone else!

Yes, fasting today. Stomach rambling at +200db.

good luck everyone !

Hello Everyone! This is my first fast. Since I am a breakfast person, I had a little cooked oats, blueberries and yogurt this am. Was still hungry, so ate 3 almonds and that helped! Not sure what I'll have for supper, but life is an adventure - I'll think of something! Tummy rumbles have started, battling back with mint tea. Best wishes to all.

I started my first fast today and all going OK so far! Had a weetabix with 100ml 1% milk (bit too much milk will go for 50ml next time) for breakfast (110 Cals) and some lean mince in a tomato sauce with peppers for lunch (243 cals) plus a can of diet caffeeine free coke (1 cal) for dinner I will more than likey have the same as lunch.

Not felt that hungry so far really test will be when I get home tonight and have had dinner as this is my usual snack time.

Count me in, now half way through & sitting enjoying my chicken bovril drink. Hope it's going well for everyone.

Hello fellow fasters!

It's my first proper fast after the Easter. I have put on 1lb which is not too bad considering the amount of food I ate..... and those cakes, lots of them. I don't regret a bit

It's that time of the day when I'm most hungry, around 2pm but will soldier through!

Fasting today and making a rainbow cake for a photoshot with my daughers tomorrow! I haven't licked anything yet! Wish me luck!

Count me in, now half way through & sitting enjoying my chicken bovril drink. Hope it's going well for everyone.

Oh! What's it like? How many calories?
