The FastDay Forum

I'm in too and happy bout it. Went out for sushi yesterday so the scale showed 2 kg more than on Friday...yikes. But the good thing is, last two weeks have taught me that those kg will most likely be gone by wednesday and then hopefully it'll go slightly down even more so. Doing a 4:3 again this week, even though last week the third day was a tough one. But want to hang in there till my upcoming vacation which is in three weeks. Good luck to all!

I'm in today. Back to two fasts this week after having friends to stay. Started wine too early on Saturday yelling the Lions on so will be good to fast. Have a good one everybody.

I'm in too, fasting Monday and Wednesday because Thursday is out for me this week. I'm not sure what I'm eating today but after reading about Tom Yum paste on here over the weekend I might make some soup. If only the sun would come out I'd have a salad with the roast chicken left overs.
Good Luck

I am in too. It has been a food-filled couple of weeks for me, so gained a little last week. Then had a friends birthday on Saturday, and it is my Birthday tomorrow! So doing damage limitation today and thursday, and we will see what the scales say friday. It may not be good, but I know that there is always next week, and I really did enjoy that huge slice of cake yesterday

Hi, my first fast day, I'm a bit scared (of my willpower or lack of it) but we'll see!

Welcome aboard Sarjsmith there is plenty of good advise and tips here to help you through so poke around I'm sure you will do just fine on your first fast day.
I'm on board today fasting number 15 or 16 close enough, was doing great earlier today but currently struggling in my danger period of between4-6pm just had a thin slice of water melon , feeling cold but I think that's the weather managed a bit of exercise today so that's a positive.

Sarjsmith - you'll be fine, just remember you can have it tomorrow!!

I'm in today, but I've got a cold so I'm just going to play it by ear. For the first time I haven't got dinner planned, I'm going to have to hit the recipe books and go shopping too, but funnily enough I don't mind that on fast days anymore, it gives me something to do!

Have a good one everyone!

Goodmorning from a rainy Sweden
Started my day with Pau D'arco tea and some yoga.
Now at work drinking coffe and green tea. I try to wait as long as I can before eating - but I usually cave in at 2 or 3 PM. Think I'll go for salmon sashimi today....

If it stops raining I will participate in a yoga class outdoors tonight, in an old church ruin surrounded by a beautiful garden - it so serene and I always feel like a million bucks afterwards.

Have a wonderful day fellow fasters!

So, I'm on my 66th-ish fast today. Had my redbush tea, already looking forward to coffee! I won't eat until around 8pm. Not sure what though. I'd been hoping there would have been enough chicken leftover from last night to feed the family while I had a salad but they scoffed the lot so I have to think up a different plan!

My first fast today. Had dinner around 7 last night, & planning to eat a little something around 4pm if I can last that long. So far had a coffee. I'm scared I won't be able to do it

Up at 6 o'clock this morning - had a lovely walk along the river, sunny but a bit fresh here. Your yoga setting sounds beautiful, Nadiaj, I do mine in a big draughty, slightly gloomy church hall that badly needs the roof fixed! Mind over matter, I say! Janine, good luck today, and remember you can have a nice hot bouillon or other salty drink if you need it - that always helped me , particularly the first few fasts. They do get much easier - good luck!

Try and keep busy janine and you should be ok. In today (41st fast!) after a very foody weekend. Considering stopping daily weighing because although it's interesting to observe the yo-yoing weight and the pretty graph, it's actually making me overthink and become a bit demoralised.

That shouldn't be a problem Elsie. I work from home & have plenty to do, just need to force myself into it!

Seriously need this fast today, following a weekend of overindulgence. It was very nice but my stomach needs a rest. Enjoy your fasts x

Hi all count me in I'm fasting today, just going for a walk Sue
