The FastDay Forum

No, not joining you today as I normally would - I fasted yesterday instead. Today there is a farewell Thai lunch for someone at work then this evening my friend flies in from interstate for just two days, so there will be many lunches out, coffees and cocktails. I'm glad I got a head start by doing it yesterday! Will definitely be fasting on Thursday.

Im in and happily so. I am just so thrilled at my weight loss, it's not over the top but it makes me so happy that I havent felt any deprivation with this WOE. I will need to prepare for the dreaded plateau but until then I will continue to enjoy this experience.

Happy Monday everyone!

Fasting today too - well, after I go to bed and then get up... I think Monday is my favourite fast day too - maybe some form of absolution for the over-indulgences of the weekend

I'm hoping to do a 'veggie phase 1' starting next weekend so plan to spend the day (and then some) working out how on earth to do it! I've Rose Elliot's book but I'm not utterly inspired so I'm looking to somehow fit things in that don't make me think 'yuk' or sigh sorrowfully.

Oddly, I rather enjoy looking at recipes on a fast day! Nothing masochistic, honest, there's a real pleasure in plotting tasty things 'to eat tomorrow'...

Happy fasting, one and all, FatDog.

Good morning all!
I'm in, must be about my 30th fast today.
It's predicted to be gale force winds and storms in Sydney today, I put my swim off till tomorrow as I hate being out driving in awful weather.
Herb teas and a black coffee or two till 6pm dinner - probably veges and an egg followed by fruit and a hot chocolate. I find anything tastes good on fast night!
Have a good fast day.

My post just disappeared
I am in .cold wet day here in Perth and I am still in bed with second cup of black coffee reading the forum
Good luck all

I'm in too. Freezing morning (quite literally!) here so huddled by the heater now after a quick trip to the pathology lab for my blood tests. Had my first coffee so feel a bit more with it... Only liquids today.

Don't be too hard on yourself MaryAnn, you had a nice holiday and enjoyed it; any extra weight will fall off soon enough once you get back into your regular routine. There's no rush, remember?

Wishing everyone a successful fast day!

Hi all - I'm in today - well when morning comes - can't seem to sleep tonight/this morning.
Week 22 fast 48 - look forward to them now - they feel like a real treat for my body ????

I'm in. I've been trying to count the calories on the phone ap: calorie counter. I don't trust it. You enter in the food but it doesn't seem to allow you to enter the correct amounts, in grams. One serve of yogurt, according to them was 125gm, but I only have 100gm. A persimmon weighs 160gm, but mine only weighed 104gm. What is the best way to count calories accurately? Weight was 75.1kg on first weighing. I wasn't happy with that so tried again and got 74.8kg! So under 75kg, which I am happier with. I have lost more off my waist; 11cm now. It's not an exact science, but I will have faith and carry on. Cold and bright sunshine here in Tasmania.

Its really hard today and the minutes are like hours. Its 12.45 and I usually have a small food at 2.30. I dont know if I'll make it:(

Hang in there zamale! Do you have some bouillon or miso? Maybe a cup of tea or coffee?

I'm in too. No breakfast and lunch in 20 mins. Then water all afternoon and I may or may not eat tonight.

It's a red rainstorm here in HK (for those of you that understand the HKO warning system) so there's no teaching this afternoon. Every cloud and all that

Good on you Chook! I've been sipping tea all morning too, now it is lunch time and my friend next to me is eating spaghetti bolognaise... I am not too hungry though. I have a big salad for lunch, and will have a stir fry for dinner. Planning to get back to the gym for the first time in about 2 months today as well. A bit nervous about that! Will just try not to overdo it.

Just up and having a cup of black coffee. Fasting today, although we normally do Tuesday and Thursday, but tomorrow we have a friend coming round, so wine will be had, and then on Wednesday we are off to Amsterdam! So just the one day this week, but back to it next week. I just love this, because it is so easy to manage. Hope those of you who are asking today have a good one!

I'm in today too. At first I wasn't feeling it, because I had a late night yesterday with a lot of carbs, but as I've woken up a bit I feel more enthusiastic. Monday is my favorite fast day too
Now I just need some coffee, and all will be well.

Asking - bloody predictive spelling - should be fasting!
