Hello,

I too am interested in doing an extended fast. I have been doing daily 23+ hour fasts for several months, intermixed with the occasional 48-72 hour fast. How long a fast are you considering? Or would it be an open ended thing. I just joined the site today and really am interested in getting and providing support for a long term fast, and discussing the information that I have learned about fasting. I will be interested to here what you would like to do in this fast.

I'm still around, but I've been busy with the private messaging lol :)
Getting great advice for the water fasting.
I hadn't started, I had a pet die, I was devastated, and will start the fast 11/4/17
no biggie, I remember I few yrs ago I started an all natural eating regimen for 9 months with complete success and I started on 1/4/13 so starting on the 4th will bring back great memories of being strong!

Just diving right in. Need to just post everyday, and we'll see the outcome. I will try to Water Fast when I can, and whenever I do eat, whether it's tonight or in the future, I will try to eat healthier and healthier as time goes on.
Today I walked 2 slow miles. I took my before picture today, only to hope that within a year I will look really healthy :)

well did intermittent fasting yesterday and will today.
Just trying to get in the groove.
Knowing I want to post everyday is helping me eat healthier and walk more, and drink more water :)
I'll get there, I feel it in my bones lol :)

Im curious how your fast went? How many days did you fast and how was the experience?

11/9/17 - 244.4 pounds

Doing intermittent fasting for now, but will post everyday, so I never slip again.

11/11/17 - still the same weight, probably because I lost 4 right away?

11/12/2017 - 243.4 pounds


Getting there


Im away and no scale available, will post end of week

WOW-it's meant to be that I'm finally posting, wouldn't you know it's been 40 days since I initiated this thread, now had I stayed with water only fasting, this would be day 40 and I'd be standing pretty happy today. You just snap your fingers and a quick 40 days goes by. That should give any person a reason just to dive in and start. I do know it is soooo hard when you have severe weaknesses, that's my middle name. But I finally accomplished some control of eating, and I feel pretty good. I just wish I could give everyone some strength to follow suit.

Here's me lately:
almost every weigh in is first thing in morning

11/07/17 250.2 as it shows on one of my posts above
12/06/17 248.2 Water Fast day 1
12/07/17 no weigh in / Water Fast day 2
12/08/17 243.0 ate quickly to fix severe heartburn so had food, now I have emergency stuff
12/09/17 242.6 Water Fast day 1
12/10/17 240.8 water fast day 2

I intend to do water only fast until 12/13 evening, so that'll be 5 straight days, Fri night-Wed night

Did 24 hr water fast

Trying to eat less before I do a long fast
Someone just posted that they do better Water Fasting when they dont post, that was the same for me last yr
But I feel like I might have questions that people can help me :)
