to set about to lose 70 lbs in 40 days is a serious potentially harmful endeavor.

your body stores a great many toxins in fat in your body.
when you rapidly release those toxins you face an extreme overload of toxins free roaming your system, and forcing the kidney and liver into an overload stressed condition, since they
simply cannot process that many toxins at once.

also you are looking at loose skin/ saggy skin without tone etc.

if you are unaccustomed to fasting, you will probably not make it that far and esp if go back to the eating habits or lifestyle that got you there in the first place.
you will rapidly gain it back. plus maybe more.

most folks have a minimum of 6-12 lbs old fecal matter in them,
some have a great lot more/ folks that do good routine cleansings will have less or not at all.

if you do waterfast for ANY reasons, it is important to make sure you intake the proper amt of good water, to keep the toxins flushing, and keep your self from dehydrating.
i would greatly suggest also that you do LIGHT toning exercises, and some wt bearing LIGHT exercises (meaning isometrics/NOT working with wt-lifting.. so as not to be confused )
to keep skin toned and avoid muscle loss.

i believe fastcoach here can answer these questions in detail best for you. he is very knowledgeable in this area,

I have to mention that a few of my friends have fasted for YEARS. I just started last year with very short fasts (2 days), doing my 1st 10 day fast this year, this would be my second.

It is imperative to have either 1.) a very light strict diet prior to doing a fast and after & 2.) have done shorter fasts before your "big" one. I have not seen anyone jump right into a 40 day fast if they did not did one of the above.

As for your height and weight I can only 'guesstimate' that you will lose at maximum 40-50 lbs. based on the 1 lb. per day slow down that happens after the first few days. With this in mind, you can also go on low-cal diets that will give the same results...unless you've reached a plateau like me and have other reasons for doing a fast.

If this is your 1st fast EVER I would recommend doing it for 3 days and see how you feel...take it to 5,7, then 10. Remember it is a very difficult process and you should have some small fasts under your belt to get your body use to it. In fact, many of my friends always say that once you do alot of short fasts the longer ones become easier and easier because your body has learned to fast, if that makes sense, lol.

And also, losing THAT much weight is also very weakening. That's why a few ppl I know ended up choosing juice fasts that were more tolerable. What is your history with fasting, have you tried straight juice fasts?
