This is a good place to be, PuzzleQueen. Tell us where you are starting, what your goals are, and your journey to meet them. My husband and I have been Fasting for 5.5 years and have good results.
Good luck.

I had my first fast day today, and it went….fine! I have found a few drinks that I like that have virtually no calories so I stagger them over the day if I am feeling peckish. I noticed that the lunch and dinner I had that just contained fresh and cooked vegetables mainly, is really filling and satisfying and tasty with a little dressing or a cup of miso, but that my tummy feels so much more comfortable half an hour after the meal than if I was eating ‘normally ‘ with carbs or more meat etc.
I guess there is something to this, it does seem to give my body a break from too much heavy digesting. And another thing is that since it was a ‘fasting day’ and I was fully ready for it, I didn’t even think about wanting wine. Daily wine has been a habit that I have enjoyed for a while now, but I realise I need to make a positive change in this area for my health as well as my weight. I was really surprised that I didn’t even think about it, even at dinner prep time. Awesome!
I really want to do another fast day tomorrow, but it sort of hinges on whether we’ll be catching up with family from out of town for a meal. I think it will be easier if I am not doing social things on my fast days, I don’t want to explain my eating to anyone at the moment.
All in all a very good first fast day to start my 10kg weight loss goal.

Hi there,

I’m a newcomer also and really appreciated hearing about your first day TigerAnne. I know New Years Eve is probably not the ideal start but we’re going out after dinner so I think I’ll be able to manage it. It also feels like if I don’t start now I never will so onward and upward.
