The FastDay Forum

Can I ask if anyone has ever gained weight the day after a fast day.Got on scales this morning and up 2lbs,thoroughly fed up.

It will just be a blip. Measure your waist and see if that has gone down...if it has, the scale weight is meaningless!

Yes I have - but don't give in!!! The general advice here is to only weigh once a week - however I use an app (Monitormyweight) and I weigh daily and it's really interesting to see how weight fluctuates from day to day , but on the graph you can see the general trend over the weeks is downwards. So - if I go up one or even two days in a row I don't worry too much as it all seems to sort itself out in the end (I've lost 3st over the last year and still going downwards) - so don't give in. You need to give it a good month and get into a routine of fasting. Hope that helps, if only a little

Thanks for both of your replies.I will try to not take too much notice of the gain and weigh again on Monday which will be a week from the first fast day of the week.

Weighed myself tues after Monday fast....up 2.5lbs....however, weigh-in day was today, and have lost a 1lb overall....so don't give up.

Did find on Monday that I wasn't thirsty, so didn't drink as much.....
