The FastDay Forum

Yes I'm in today #4 and first weigh in tomorrow, only a coffee so far today but trying a small omelette for lunch (see how late I can leave it) then just a banana early evening, plus a coffee or two.

Fasting today and still not going any where near the scales.
I had a shake for quickness this morning before work and if I get home at a decent hour it will probably be a diet ready meal

Well, trying to split myself between work, home, running my mum around and trying to keep her on an 'up' (lost my dad christmas), child minding my little grandaughter and walking the dog; the portion that everyone gets is nice and slim. Its only when they are all put back together!!

Morning all!

Well done to all of the Aussie fasters who managed to avoid ANZAC bikkies today!
I usually make a big batch and take them into work on ANZAC day... not this year though! (I'm Aussie in the UK)

Anyway, I've done L1/D2 of 30 Day Shred this morning, had a pot of peppermint tea, and a pint of berocca so far. Will have some bouillon about 3pm and then it's soup for dinner.

Good luck to everyone else, and most importantly...

LEST WE FORGET

I'm fasting too - my 4th on this go-round. What I have been doing is eat a 340-350 cal ready meal and then a "pud" of an apple and a scraping of peanut butter when I get home from work but lately I've been getting home later than I planned and finding I am cranky to the core waiting so long. I might buy myself a 100 cal snack to eat on the train and forego the pud so my DH can bear me for the 20 minutes it takes to get home from the station and hear the microwave ping. I have also armed myself with a new toothbrush and breath spray from Boots so I can bear the stinky breath I always get when I'm fasting. Good luck all.

This is going to be a hard fast day. I'm just not feeling it today. Bah.

Yes fasting today and it's three months now. Had a good go through my wardrobe and put out 6 bags of old, baggy clothes, no wonder I couldn't get in the door. There will be more though as I plan to lose another stone. Weight loss is very slow at present though. Keep going, keep going!

I'm fasting today, too! I was out late last night and had a few cocktails! Not sure how that will effect the fasting today. Usually I would have a vitamin water and an egg sandwich after a party night, but it's Thursday so I'm going to try to stick to the fast!

Fasting today after putting on 4lb this week due to being away with work, drinking, eating out every night... Started the day with a big lay in, now drinking loads of water and herbal tea to curb my hunger. Will go for a walk this afternoon to take my mind off food!

Planning another fast sunday to get back on track.

Fasting today too, was meant to do yesterday, but woke up feeling so exhausted that I thought it would be to tough, so went for today instead.

Get to wear my size 12 jeans to work tomorrow, so excited, must stop telling everyone.

Week 8 coming to and end. Looking forward to fasting today. Babysitting our grandson which should be fun. Hoping everybody does well today ! Clothes are fitting so much better for both of us which makes this so worthwhile

This is my second week, so the 4th fast. It is going very well. I do liquids all day then sit down for a small snack when I get home from work-usually 1/2C of greek yogurt, 1/2C blueberries, 1T raw walnuts, and a few drops of stevia. Tonight's dinner will be some shrimp with konjac noodles and some sort of "sauce" haven't decided what that will be yet.

Since my rocky beginning on the 1st of March (I started with ADF, then 4:3, both unsuccessfully, before finding the 5:2 youtube videos) I have lose 8 pounds. I am very excited as this seems to be getting easier!

Fasting today after semi failing on Tuesday. Managed to stick to 600 calories food but 2 pints of cider in the sunshine pretty much doubled my intake. Still a 1200 calorie day is better than nothing I suppose.

I had a few glasses of wine last night (It's not all I do honest! ) so was expecting quite a struggle today and it was initially. Was expecting to have to eat something in the morning but managed with my usual bovril. Had Tuna salad again about 1pm and doing OK so far. Have left a bit of tuna in case I get peckish this afternoon.

Planning the Hairy Bikers Jalfrezi tonight, not made it before but it sounds great. Half a tilda wholemeal rice sachet might put me a few calories over 600 but I'm not going to worry too much.

Good luck to everyone for the afternoon stretch!

My 3rd fast today!

Was expecting today to be a little bit harder as I've been feeling hungry the last 2 days but so far its gone easier than I expected.
I had a good feed last night and haven't felt any hunger urges yet.

Me!

I'm seriously considering trying the 36 hour thing today, because if ever there was the perfect opportunity this is it. Hubby is away and the children have a friend over for tea. I'd already planned chicken kievs for them and only got three out of the freezer, so none for me anyway. I'm feeling pretty strong after resisting the very yummy looking cakes at a craft centre MIL and I visited this morning, so am in the mood. Plus, the hubby and I are out tomorrow for a very nice dinner and wine followed by a night in a B&B, so I could do with getting a head start on dealing with that

Meant to say thanks to Bycress16 and Wineoclock for mentioning Hairy Dieters Curry as it made my mind up as what to eat tonight! That book is amazing
