The FastDay Forum

Glad you're back@Bobshouse! I can't get on line on my i phone so gave up but OK on my faithful laptop!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Good to be back! I was worried you would all think I had given up when I have been angelic!

This is only the second time in sixteen months that I have done a 4:3 and today is the third of the three days. Everything is going well but the fast days do seem to come around rather quickly! I don't know how you regular 4:3-ers do it! Congratulations on your willpower!

@Bobshouse, your target is the same as mine and yesterday I was only a whisker away from regaining it. I am keeping my fingers crossed for my Sunday morning weigh-in! Good luck to you!

Well done @bobshouse I know how difficult it is when on a visit to UK. There is just too much temptation. I don't know what to do now. I keep telling myself to go for the fast over the 16:8 but I think that's just because I'm hungry now and want to eat all weekend. Think I'll still do the 16:8 and if I can turn any of them into a fastday I'll have the next day as a non-fast (normal) day. Sorry just rambling now trying to kill some time before dinner. Hope you're having a nice visit

Yes, bought some new size 12 jeans today. So pleased I didn't have to get 14! This week has shown me I can fast even when it is not a normal day.

whoo hoo size 12, well done you. I don't think I'm a 12s yet but 14s are getting baggy. I'll find out in a few days when I go shopping. I hope to have the same success with the fasting. keep it up.

Hi all.
I completed my third fast yesterday. It felt a bit strange fasting on Friday but my daughter was performing in a show in the evening so going to see her was a break from the usual Friday routine, so that definitely helped.
Anyway, delighted this morning to see a loss of 6lbs after 1 week of 3 day fasts.
I'm thrilled to bits and all gung-ho to continue

My return to 4:3 "proper" went well and I've blown away half of my holiday gain
Good Luck with Sundays weigh-in @StowgateResident
Well done @BobshouseSize 12 wow!!
Good luck to fasting in UK Dee just do the best you can but obviously more careful than I did even the 16:8 are a good fasting time and usually work out more like 18:6
and a cautious lunch would crack it for you @justdee We all keep learning the best way to cope with holidays and providing we return to forum life asap despite the numbers at our next weigh-in that's the answer getting the support from like minded people who all completely understand what you're going through,
When are you back here Dee? leaving all your lovely
sunshine behind you.

Edit :: to add @Damson Come and join us in this tent

That's a great loss @Emerald17 well done !

Awesome stuff @Bobshouse - I absolutely dream of size 12's, so can imagine your joy! What a lovely feeling it must be - am thrilled for you!

Whoop whoop @Emerald17 - what a terrific result! Chuffed to little bits for you! Talk about getting you in the right state of mind to carry on! It is such a marvellous boost to hit the ground running - keep up the good work

Hello

I've been pointed over here by Auriga, looks like it's the right thread for me

I've done my first day of my first 4:3 today, and it went better than I thought it would. I'm quite pleased with myself so far

I am very much looking forward to being able to fit in smaller clothes, I'm at the top end of my fat clothes and they were becoming uncomfortable. I refuse to buy any more fat clothes.

Welcome! There are quite a few of us in this tent!
Thank you all for the comments about my size 12 jeans. Am enjoying it!

Welcome Damson and isn't going down a size brilliant Bobshouse!

I wouldn't mind having a go at this to break the rising tide of weight this month, provided I don't have the constipation problems that plague me, and the over-whelming cravings too.
Ho hum, fasting now until tomorrow evening, see what happens and may try another on Tuesday.

Hi - can I join your tent?

I have been doing fast diet continuously since last summer and mostly do 4:3. Have been following the recommendations in the Fast Beach Diet for the past 2 weeks and getting nice results so far
