The FastDay Forum

Bonjour Fèe you should feel proud your doing ok, I'm also fasting again today, doing 4 in 8 days to make up for my holiday, but as you know have loads to lose so maybe a bit easier for me. Good luck to everyone today Sue

I don't know if it is easier, but you'll have a reward tomorrow.

For me...I will have good ealth.

I've managed to hold off eating today so far Only another 3 or 4 hours to go!

I'm starting to struggle big time today. It's not quite time for dinner and I'm in essay writing hell getting nowhere fast because my rumbling stomach is all I can think of. I have zero clories left to play with so I'm faced with the options of stay miserable or go over my 500.

Today is my fast day as well.. It's my third fast day actually.. half way through the day and feeling great!!!

I'm in today, also, despite it being a holiday. Did some cleaning this am, cooked a stirfry (heavy on the veggies) for lunch - son is home and felt like making something. Still have a bit left for supper so I can sleep. Take care all!

Fast number 4 almost over and shouldn't be a problem as I feel stuffed after my 335 calorie dinner and there's still enough over for a hot chocolate at bedtime if needed! Just wanted to say a big thank you to people who commented on my earlier post when I was struggle after my second fast. I was almost ready to give up as not only was I starving at bedtime but even the cat's food looked delicious!!! I was one of those people that firmly believed I'd pass out if I went a whole day without food but glad I listened to people's advice and experiences as have found that I'm better off sticking to liquids during the day and saving majority of cals for the eve meal. And much easier to go for a ready meal with extra veg. Fasting days now much easier and my body seems to be getting used to it. Lost 4 1/2 pounds in first week too which was really encouraging!! Don't expect as good a result this week but even if I only lose a pound I'll break the 11 stone barrier- something I've not managed for a few years. And looking forward to a guilt free birthday weekend ahead!

I fasted yesterday and I'm fasting again today. That's me done for the week

Not today as its my birthday! But will be doing tomorrow instead

Bank Holiday Fasts are the worst!!! Tried to do a liquid fast today but by 7pm I was getting grumpy so I made a quorn burger (try these, only 80calories and so nice) and some salad! A little disappointed in myself but sure! Good luck everyone, Tuesday is nearly here!!! X

Happy Birthday, Honeybee !

Happy Birthday Honeybee!!

I fasted today, it was OK actually even though I ended up having lunch and dinner which wasn't planned, I still kept within the calorie count.

Stay strong for the last couple of hours everyone!

Looking forward to breakfast, coming off 36 hr liquid fast.
Woke up feeling sore and wondering "am I on the right track with all of this?" A quick look at the recent posts and I am feeling inspired and my resolve is back in place
Thanks guys

Today has been my first fast for a whole week. Had my birthday (which involved eating cakes for like, 4 days!) then a wedding at the weekend, so the 2nd fast kind of got lost in all of that and I wrote it off. But have been disciplined today thank goodness, so I don't feel so guilty! I put on 2lbs though due to my indulgent week, so hope I lose it again as quickly as the first time.

Sort of fasted today, but not my usual fast (which goes from Sunday night to Tues. a.m.) as today is a day off from work. So, I started my fast yesterday after brunch and noticed I wasn't as strict today as I would be normally if I had started the night before and was at work all day today. Felt like a VERY LONG FAST! Definitely had more wine to drink yesterday (at brunch) than I should have, and as a result didn't feel so good today. Since I know I consumed more than 500 calories after 1 pm today, I will just call it a day and start anew tomorrow. Oh well, it was worth the experiment but think I will stick to my usual routine going forward...I miss that good end-of-the-fast-day feeling so will probably shoot for tomorrow as a true fast day...with absolutely no alcohol beforehand. At least I didn't overeat today, but definitely a missed opportunity. Sigh...
