The FastDay Forum

Hi, any one with me today? I'm doing Saturday this time as could not do my usual Thursday. For the last 2 weeks I've done Monday and Saturday for the very happy reason that I've been away both mid weeks, visiting one of my ponies who is being broken to drive. I've had a really fab time on both visits as I'm also having carriage driving lessons so have been flying around the countryside with a trained pony. My boy is doing so well and I can't wait to get him home again. Meanwhile 5:2 has to fit in.
Next week is different again as OH is away so I might fit in an extra fast day and see if I can get past my current plateaux
Happy fasting!

Yep, I am. Only managed to fit one fast in this week so doing today instead of the Thursday that I missed. It's strange doing a Saturday, I feel a bit like I'm missing out the normal weekend shenanigans, even though I'm not - I'm staying in today so won't be tempted by others and their food and drink splurges.

Yup, I'm with you. Fast day number five for me. I've actually already fasted Sunday and Tuesday, but next week is going to be demanding, so I'm doing 3 fast this week, and 1 next week.

yep, I'm in as well. Fast day number six, as I have put myself on a 4/3 regimen for the time being. So far I've lost 3.5 kg and 6 cm from my waist line! I know that this won't continue, but I am very pleased with the results so far. Good luck to all of you.

I thought I'd pop by and wave as I used to always be fasting either Sat or Sun on ADF, quite missing it!

Pony sounds nice.

Good luck all.

hi to all fellow saturday fasters!!! not many of us but it really doesn't make much difference- this is our first saturday fast and I feel we have tried it all apart from sunday fast. As long as we keep ourselves busy and get in the right mind set it is very do-able!
Does anybody else find that they do not even fancy chocolate (or whatever their down fall is!!) on fast days? It is quite magical- I cannot remember ever NOT fancying chocs!!
Cannot wait till tomorrow morning's weigh-in as I did monday, tuesday and today fasting! Just as an experiment and because I enjoy it really!!
what's for dinner?

Just a social call to say 'hello' and hope you are all enjoying it. I embrace my hunger pangs as I tell myself that my body is chomping my fat and it feels so good,

Love to all,

Today is my third fasting day. Started the diet one week ago. Changes that I have noticed are less bloating and losing one pound after my first fast day.

Hello all. Today is fast number 6, and my first week was really successful so I'm hoping to replicate that this week. I'll find out when I weigh on Weds. I wish I found this as easy as some seem to find it, but I still struggle with hunger. Doesn't help having to feed the boys, I suppose. Ah well, will just have to put all my wistful longing to good use and decide what we'll have for breakfast tomorrow. Good luck all.x

Wow not many of us today. It's good to have company though isn't it? An easy fast day for me as I've been busy pottering around the smallholding and looking after my B&B guests, yes even cooking them delicious breakfasts! Did not eat the left over toast, did not have breakfast at all infact. Then home made celery soup for lunch, and tonight mushroom and pepper omelette with salad and an orange. The thing I missed was the glass of wine I would normally have enjoyed, but I'll live.
I agree ujs, the discipline keeps me safe on fast days and I'm not tempted to stray. Great isn't it?

It's not been a bad fast today 3 hours of it were v.difficult (kids party with buffet!) but rest of the day was too busy to dwell on hunger.
