I have been reading this message board for a while now, but just joined today. I am the mother of a toddler... he has me chasing him everywhere. Water Fasting can really zap my energy so I am going to alternate juice and water fasting. Friday I will start a 40 day fast, the first since I became pregnant with my son. My longest previous fast was a 28 day water fast. Wish me luck! Happy fasting guys ;)

MoreThis is a reply to # 872,456Wow, I'm starting a 28 day Water Fast and I was wondering if you could tell me how much weight you lost in that time. It would be a real motivation for me :) Thanks!

MoreThis is a reply to # 873,091I lost 35 pounds on the 28 day water fast, but I wasn't very overweight at the time and the fast left me fairly thin at 110lb (I was fasting more for spiritual and cleansing reasons at the time). Good luck on your water fast. I remember it was difficult, but I am sure you can do it :)

This is a reply to # 873,119Thank you for that. It really was encouraging! Wow, I am really amazed that you had the strength to make it through that time! I just hope I can stick to it :)
35 pounds is an extraordinary amount of weight! Did you also exercise or did all that come off simply from fasting?

This is a reply to # 873,311I was a runner at that time and had to lighten up on my workouts. By the end of the Water Fast I was only doing light workouts, 30 minutes of walking a few times a week. My suggestion is just to listen to your body. Bodies respond very differently to Water Fasts and it is best not to overdo it. Some days I felt full of energy and ready to run a 5K, other days it took all my energy to get around the house. I found it best to just workout according to my energy level. Hope that answered the question. Happy fasting :-)
