I'm in today too, fast number 10 I think it is. Struggled today as its very cold, is that an excuse?! I so wanted something sweet. Had a home made choc chippie biscuit after dinner tonight and that has helped. Should still be close to my target calories though I think.
Good luck to all the other fasters around the world as your day begins, mines nearly over. Bring on the long Queens Birthday weekend coming up! :grin:

Fasting today too! Couldn't stop grazing yesterday afternoon/evening so a bit cross with myself.

I'm in today as well. I've woken up really hungry which isn't a great start. Might have to have a sweet coffee to start my day. Good luck and happy fasting today all :D

Hi All

I fasted yesterday and (don't read if hungry) have just polished off a yummy cinnamon & raisin bagel, one half with almond butter, one half with jam and topped off with 2 sweetened vanilla scrambled eggs. SOrry... BUT I will be fasting again from this evening through to tomorrow evening so I'll be straddling both days. I thought I'd try a 24 hour one as an extra to my 2 usual fast days. So today is both feed and fast day!

Morning, I'm fasting today too. According to my scales I've gained 3/4 pounds but I don't know why. I'm also very constipated and have tried everything to get things moving... Argh!! Happy fast day everyone!! Xx

Greetings fellow fasters! It's my 41st fast and second for the week. I had a major splurge at the weekend: BBQ, friend's birthday (lots of cake), alcohol. Over the weekend I've put on 0.6kg. I think I've had too much food yesterday as I have put on another 0.3kg after yesterday's fast, or is it still the weekend feast growing in me :confused: I'm planning to be very good today and have just tee/coffee and soup with a slice of bread for the evening meal. On Friday will be my 3rd fast for the week, so will see where that will take me for the monthly weigh-in.

First fast of the week for me! Trying to undo the damage that a long weekend of overeating will surely surely have done! Thinking l should fast again on Friday but am going to a birthday party in the evening so it will be only a half fast. Or I do two days in a row...that would be new territory for me though...not yet sure what to do.

Yep I'm doing today too! This is my 13th fast and definitely taking it in my stride now, but looking forward to 2moro. Have lost half a stone but haven't weighed this week so far as afraid might be disappointing :wink: maybe 2moro.....one day at a time!! Good luck everyone for 2day. Nice weather here so might go for a tuna salad for dinner 2nite :cool:

Know what you mean about consecutive day fasting. I find it harder if I have only 1 feed day between fasts, like this week. Can't contemplate consecutive days. Just had chicken and vegetables for dinner. 11 fast nearly done.

Im in today.
I weighed myself yesterday after my first week and lost 2.2lb!
Anyone else seem to eat the same thing on fast days?
For me, its scrambled egg whites with a bit of salsa and low fat cottage cheese, a salad with a tiny bit of chicken or ham and then stir fried veg with a weight watchers soup. I like it at the moment but im worried it will start to get boring.
Also found some amazing tasting vimto lollies at 38 cals each!

Not usually a Wednesday faster but I fell off the wagon yesterday.

I had an exam and then they gave me biscuits in the hairdresser's with my tea and that was me gone :P Still, the scales this morning were the same as last week which is very good considering I had a takeaway pizza at the weekend and made triple choc chip cookies last night! Even when I've been having naughty foods I've been keeping it under 1400cal so clearly it's paying off.

Hopefully I can shift a pound or so with today's fast and have an 'official' weigh-in tomorrow. (I always weigh between my two fast days.)

I'm in today. Week 9 fast number 17. Only going to manage one fast this week due to too many fun things getting in the way! However, I am doing 16:8 all the other days by way of compensation. Be interesting to see how that works.
By the way, am typing this on the new mobile website on my phone. Thank you to Moogie for creating it.

After hols,I am, as somebody else has said on the boards, trying to lose that same kilo! Have a good day everybody and keep it going.

I will let you know in the evening, since I'm having them for lunch. I hope that I'm gonna like them and hopefully use them from now on every fast day! My secret hope is that I will like them so much that I will eat just them for lunch and dinner with a little soy sauce and spices. That will be around 15 calories for 5 quid per day for two meals which is not expensive. :oops:

Hi everyone. Caroline, I know how you feel. I never thought I'd do 2 consective days and I have just completed that now (due to life geting in the way) and I never thought I would do a liquid fast and I did that yesterday by accident. Don't be scared. As a 'one off' it was very doable and I couldn't believe that I had no hunger today. Let us know what you do. Off to sleep now. :-)
