Fasting: Day 1 of 7

Hi everyone!
This is my first post, but I have been fasting every other day for the past week to prepare myself to fast for an entire week straight. Today is day one of my 7 day juice fast. I dont have a juicer, so I will be using V8 Splash fruit juices. The longest I ever fasted was 2 years ago and I lasted 4 days, but that was mainly because I was poor and didn't have any food. I lost about 12 pounds then.
This time I'm surrounded by lots of food and snacks (there's a kid in the house), so every night I face temptation to eat whatever's for dinner or grab a little treat from the cabinet. It will be hard, but I know I can do this! I plan to post here every day with my thoughts and progress...wish me luck!
Today's weight: 255

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,209,999Try to stay away from dead, bottled juices, for some unknown reason they can cause hunger and are far less sustaining. Remember V8 is not juice but a blended food, containing tomato paste and tons of salt. If you treat yourself to this easy food you will experience hunger afterward indicating an awakened digestion, the last thing you want when fasting.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,210,008I know the whole deal about "dead juices" from the grocery store not being ideal, but I dont live in an ideal world. I dont have the money to buy a juicer or the means or transportation to be able to buy a lot of different produce to make my own juice. For the past week, I have fasted every other day consuming only water and soy milk on fasting days. I did very well with that.
At this point in my fasting journey, I just want to consume some liquid on fasting days that offers a few calories and at least some kind of nutrition, because a complete Water Fast would be too extreme for me right now. I'm not really doing this to detox. Just lose weight. I will work up to Water Fasting eventually for detoxing purposes. - Good Luck Southern Belle

This is a reply to # 1,210,008I have to disagree with the above post. I agree with what this poster is telling you in saying you should stay away from "dead juices," but you stated that you can't afford a juicer. So, there is no way you can juice. So, my advice is for you to go ahead and drink whatever juice gets you through this fast. You will benefit regardless.
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 1,209,999I won't go into why bottled juice is no good.
I am here mostly for support. How are you doing so far?
I am on day 7 of 40 days water fasting. I workout 5-6 days a week so fasting works wonders for me.

This is a reply to # 1,210,164Well thank you for the support, I really appreciate it. I'm doing pretty well so far. When I started with the intermittent fasting last week I went from 261 to 252, but gained 3 lbs. back over the july 4 holiday, so this morning I weighed 255.
Congrats on doing 7 days on just water. I hope to do that one day soon. I made it through dinner time tonight pretty easily, even though it smelled delicious. I just occupied myself with some reading and browsed a weight loss forum. Well, I'll update again in the morning with my weight...til then, have a good night!
