LOL So your gloves don't fit, or is your hat too big? 

You're both too funny. Sorry, no fast for me. Just starting LCHF...hope it warms up soon! New England has been unseasonably warm for this time of year! 

Want to send some of that coldness down to the states. Hating the 60-70 temps in winter. I want snow....  

I'll fast with you, no prob. I've actually not done a real fast the entire year that I've been dieting. But why not? I still have 9 sticky pounds to go, and it just might shake my body up enough to drop one. 

Okay, soon. Sounds good. Glad to have someone else in on the fast. It's warmed right up to -17 here today. :) 

Hmmm...we are 15 degrees above right now - a heat wave. Is bulletproof coffee OK to start the fast day?  

I did that. No protein powder. 1 tbsp fat? Coffee is a given. 

This is a true fast, right? A full 24 hours? I'll be drinking water and unsweetened hot tea, with the only nutrition coming from my multivitamin. 

That's the plan. From this evening or your last meal today until Monday morning. 

@Everyone Y'all have put the only smile on my face I've had today. 

Something new for me for the new year. Will fast as well. Just finished my last meal for the day. Let's do this! 

Welcome aboard, Zeddie. :) We'll all whine on this thread tomorrow. 

Finished my last meal at 4:30 (early, but I've noticed that finishing dinner before 7 really helps with weight loss) and I don't eat snacks or desserts, so I guess I've just begun my very first fast. Don't feel any different. Am I supposed to start whining now? ;) 

I used to be really good about not eating after 7 but doesn't work with my work/gym schedule anymore.good luck! It definitely helps.. 

I used to live on the Canadian Border so know exactly what you are talking about. I'm shivering for you, but sorry, won't fast with you.  

Soonsoonsoon, "Am I supposed to start whining now?" You weren't before you even started!? lol Great comment! 

I can't even image being out and about in -23* temperatures. I'm mentally sending you some southern warmth. No fasting for me, low blood sugar, blood pressure and thyroid, sorry, you'd trip over me on the floor. 

And the fast is on. (Maybe we should call it a coffee fast?) No point enduring the headaches. Much warmer today. -18 .... Scalewatcher. Look at it as 'sleeping' through the fast. :) (Try to pass out in a corner, would you please?) 

I didn't see the minus in front of the 23 until I read on.. it was +23 here in Spain today :)! Fasted yesterday because of the holidays and I travel tomorrow to Florida so I am off schedule. Time change will help on Tuesday to fast then again on Thursday. But best of luck... keep warm . 

NM, thanx for your support on my "other" post. Oddly, doing fine so far with the fasting. I'm doing tea rather than coffee (more than 2 cups of java & I get the shakes). Now for the "whining". Woke up with a yucky head cold this morning, so I'm hoping the aspirin & decongestants were allowable. Oh well, starve a cold as they say!
