The FastDay Forum

Morning all I'm in, second fast of the week. Going for another liquid fast as on Friday we will be celebrating hubby's birthday. It was his birthday yesterday but he's on nights so we're waiting til Friday

Second fast for me as well, and will most likely make it another 4:3 week. Having a bit of a hard time with it though this week as i;m soooooooooo constipated and thats something i've never experienced before

Im in! Just got back from a trip to bath. Massively overindulged and missed my usual monday fast so definitely need to get back on it today! !

I'm in today, M W F this week! Chicken in the crock pot with salad and veggie soup for me today. Hoping to get some miles in today. Since my parents have come to visit I have been on track with my food; but the walks have been a little harder to squeeze in each day. Ah well, I was expecting more of a challenge with visitors. Wishing all a good fast day!

I'm in too, doing Monday and Weds this week, which has really thrown off my perception of what day it is. Prawns and salad for dinner and I'll make another batch of the Tom-Yum and Mushroom soup which was so effective keeping me going through the afternoon on Monday.
Good luck all

I'm fasting today too. It's only my 2nd fast. I found monday much easier than I thought, so hope today will be ok too. Not planning on anything until around 4.30pm.

I'm in today too. Did just liquids on monday for the first time and it was ok although I can't say I relish the idea of doing it every week. I'll see how I feel next week. Will almost certainly have dinner tonight but hoping to go through till then on yesterday's calories and drinks!

Janine, glad you got on ok on monday - you may find the second fast of the week harder but stick with it, it definitely gets easier over time.

I'm in today too, the second of the week, and it will be harder as usual as I have hemorroids (sorry for the details) so I can't drink coffee or tea

I'm in too, I decided to try 3 fasts this week as I only did 1 last week. I think today is going to be challenging though, the children are being difficult and as it's Wednesday there is no school for my big boy, so I think I'm going to take them to Disneyland this afternoon to try and do something fun.
Good luck everyone!

Lucky children. See you there Nicky. You are a better woman than I if you can fast there. WDW was the beginning of my downfall

Second fast of the week for me today, good luck everyone!

Hi all
Fasting today fast3 , lost 4lbs this first week, unheard of for me and I found it easy! Just made a batch of ratatouille , a portion tonight and freezing the rest, so its a no brainier on the next fast day( fasting Mondays and Wednesdays. Do I have to eat all 500 cals, unsure if I don't then this lump of a body might go " hey she's starving me!). Have 89lbs to go, ahhhhhh.

A thermos of soup for lunch is a great idea. Might copy that.

Hi all, just on my way to bed, 2nd fast of week over. Went a little over at 594 cals, it was the square of chocolate that DH gave me that did that.....planning to do 16/8 for the next 2 days, and then away for the weekend to a party which Im sure will mean enough calories for a week!!

Me & Les are in too.

I think I created a monster though. Les joined me on Monday and now he wants to do 4:3.

I like 5:2, so will have to work on that.

Anyway, so far so good. Got my sparkly water and busy at work.
