Good luck, the weight will come off so quick, im sure you know that, the hard thing is day 1-3, back in 2001 at the age of 17 I myself was 23.5 stone and at 5'8 that was morbid obeisty - but after a 3 week fast i dropped to 19 stone, and contiuned to diet healthily after that at a snails pace, and in 2004 got down to 12. remained about there for 6 years, and recently have got up to 16.5. I need to lose 60lbs and will fast 40 days, and then few on juice and few on raw. my aim to is to not eat anything cooked for 100days from today, so probs end up losing far more then my gained 60- will be nice to see the xs me, think it might be a size zero summer for me finally, its been a life time of wishing!

Good luck and hang in there, other than weightloss the mental stregnth gained from this in the long run is definatly worth the initial pain

I am too embarrassed to show pics but my recent posts are very detailed on the 40 day fast and the post fast refeed and updates.
On youtube you can see several videos of people that have done fasting .One girl did three almost back to back 40 day ones. She went from 200 way down and six months later was holding at 120.
