The FastDay Forum

Fasting today. Feeling a bit off. Weighed myself this morning and I seem to have put on a ridiculous amount of weight since my last fast on Thursday (1.2kg). Feeling very disappointed - I have not over eaten although perhaps there was more carbs than usual over the weekend. Probably water retention but I feel terribly disappointed anyway.

I'm in today. After a weekend of food, I suspect I am going to need this entire week of fasting to get back to where I was prior to this festive weekend of food.

Byoung I've done that plenty of times but it's gone after one fast.
I'm fasting today, enjoy Monday everyone.

I'm in this morning ready to start another week and feeling I need a fast day today.
Saturday was a write off(the wine and cheese did call me) yesterday I wasn't to bad so here's hoping for the scales to trend downwards this week, good luck today everyone

Good luck everyone,I'm just off to bed in the UK but will be joining you tomorrow!fingers crossed for a good day!

I'm joining you in a few hours (still Sunday here in the UK). Like you I feel I need some success as I've had several special occasions this week which have really rocked my 5:2 boat. First my wedding anniversary (with gifts of chocs and bottles of brandy and port); then a neighbour's 100th birthday bash (with wonderful food and sticky cakes); then a long-distance visit from former neighbours (with even more of the former calorie stuff). Heck! Yes, I'll not be many hours behind you and wishing us both success. I shall drink plenty, mainly water with a squirt of lemon juice, and save my calories for dinner but if I get a rumble I will have a mug of chicken Oxo (cube) which I find satisfying. Good luck. I'm right behind you.

Morning all, I'm in today for my usual Monday fast. Feeling a bit shabby this morning due to too much wine and not enough sleep last night so will see how I get on but if I need some food I will do it tomorrow instead. That's what I love about this WOL you can make your own rules. How many calories in paracetomol .(lol) ? Good luck Monday fasters, especially those on Bank Holiday in UK and those doing their first fast day - it does get easier I promise.

Yes, I'm in today. It's weighing day and hurray! I've finally dropped below 75kg. I've been there for the last 6 weeks, up and down, but never belowe 75. Today I'm 74.6! That puts me under 'obese' I think! Yay! I hoped that if I just kept fasting it would happen eventually, however long it took. We are going up to Cradle Mountain today to see the deciduous beech: nothofagus gunnii. A good walk up in the mountains. Ill take a thermos of hot water and will have instant miso soup. So encouraged.

I'm in on a UK Bank Holiday too! Meeting a friend for a chat in the afternoon, so I'm looking forward to that

Fasting today too! Icecream on the weekends is my biggest downfall!

oh would love to be at cradle mountain today. Enjoy

Well I am in today again my 4th 36 hr fluids fast on as low calories as i can tolerate, mostly hot teas, miso, clear broths.
Am finally seeing results too ... woohoo!
I did also eat more following last fast. Trying for quality nutrition when i eat as balance but not purist either

Hi everyone, I'm in. A bit gutsy over the weekend so glad to be fasting. Cheers.

Fasting today too - week 2/ 3rd fast of this WOE - had hoped for better results after week 1 - .4kg is a bit unexciting - but it's early days . . Anyway, happy fasting today everyone

Fasting today too. Second fast, the first was on Saturday. Fasting feels so empowering!

Dunach .4kg is right on average and its a loss. Well done.
