The FastDay Forum

Hi all, I am fasting today instead of my usual Thursday. Today is last day at work before a few days off so busy working from home and tying up lots of loose ends.

Had a great fast on Monday so hoping for the same again.

Did wake up a bit hungry but have managed to ward the pangs off so far with a couple of black coffees.

Planning on nothing until dinner but may give in to a cuppa soup!

Not sure what dinner will be, looking at the state of the fridge something egg based seems favorite!!

Hope everyone has a good day.

I'm in today although I wasn't really sure if it would be today. Have a feeling I didn't really eat very much yesterday, but looking at how the rest of the wek pans out, today it is! Have to say I am rather peckish and it's just after lunch time.

I'm in today too. Yesterday was pizza at the pub night so feeling good about today. Will use my quota with light fare, cereal, fruit and a little protein yet to be determined. Good luck Fasters !

I'm in today. Second day of my first week fasting. Feeling much better than Monday. I just need to drink more water - but that's true every day.

Best of luck to anyone who's doing this and feeling the strain a bit!

Woo hoo - progress update!

Although I said I was going to have a boiled egg (and I was also going to have an actimel probotic drink), I decided to have neither and set off to my meetings with nothing! I have had two black coffees and feel absolutely fine! It is SO much easier than being at home and surrounded by temptation!

Hope everyone else is doing ok. I feel bad for those of you feeling under par today and hope the day gets better xx

I have given in to a cuppa soup - chicken noodle, very nice and only 59 calories.

I have decided on poached eggs with asparagus for tea later x

I'm in today. I had a terrible day food-wise yesterday, and need a fast day just to reign in the crazy. Yesterday was my first experience with emotional eating since starting this WoE nearly a month ago. I was disappointed, as I'd been feeling so peaceful since starting. One bump won't deter me--I've lost 12 pounds, so far (lots to go still, but that's just the way it is).

Happy fasting, folks.

Starting today- day 1 of the rest of my life
Looking froward to a day of success!

Well, I am surviving today so far... but I'd say its one of the toughest I have done.... probably because I ate loads of nice stuff yesterday, had a walk and a run during the day so still didn't eat over TDEE and I now need to switch my appetite back off....

Managed to avoid eating before leaving home and set off for 2 hour drive to meetings, but got held up in traffic, drank all the black coffee and diet coke I had in the car to keep me awake, and then stopped at the supermarket before my meeting...

but I opted for raspberries and a babybel light as lunch, washed down with tea so I am still within sight of 120 cals so far today, leaving me with enough for hairy dieters spanish chicken with salad for dinner....

I am going to make it through today .... tells self again.... I am going to make it through today....

me too.
I prefer to have porridge for breakfast (630am) then chicken stir fry with cauli rice for dinner (~630pm)
Changed days this week as working from home today so hoepfully will be easier. Aslo did a 2mile run on the treadmill this amm to - so far so good - no major hunger pangs!! Although I'm wondering what tomorrow will be like as I was RAVENOUS all day yesterday after Monday's fast!!

I am in - jsut came home from work, where all are eating during the day, but it is no problem for me at all - drinking a lot of tea, water a a little bit of Cola Zero . Looking forward to my dinner

This is my fasting day no. 6 .

I'm in but finding it so blummin hard today! Monday was hard too but today the lack of food is actually making me feel ill oh well, a few more hours and I can put myself to bed!

I'm fasting today after yesterdays fast went off the rails and didn't happen, today been easiest so far I think as been busy and also done quite a lot of exercise.

Phew, nearly there! Just had a prawn stirfry, yum!

Actually, today has been better than expected. No food till just now and I didn't feel any more hungry than I did yesterday on a non-fasting day. Very strange. And because I managed today, that means I'll not need to feel guilty about having lunch out tomorrow...

This is the worst time of day for me - when I sit down to watch evening TV, especially as MasterChef is about to start! it's my second fast of the week, as I do Mondays & Wednesdays. This is my fourth week & I feel great, although not much weight loss, I feel the benefit in so many other ways. This forum is so inspirational & great to read in times of need!
