Dear lhasaodessa.. :)

I just ADMIRE ur strength! U are just doing GREAT!!!!!

Did u work (or had holiday) during ur fast time and, secondly, how much weight have u lost so far? The thing is I am doing a juice fasting now and dont really wonna loose a lot of weight (dont know how many days I am planning to go - first aim - 7 days). Ideally it should be not more then 6,5 pounds (3 kg) and max I can afford is 15 pounds (7 kg). Did u loose a lot?? I know it depends on many factors and every person is unique but what was in ur case?

Thanks

Nadia

Lhasa Odessa, you are such an inspiration!
I have been following your journey on this fast and it has helped me immensely.
I notice that my tongue changes it's pattern of coating from day to day, sometimes clearer than others.
Has the time passed quickly for you? I've only been doing my fast for 11 days and I wonder where the time has gone.
19 days is fantastic, ..I'll be here on the forum to congratulate you again in a couple of days!

Mine FINALLY turned cute and pink around day 27 of my 60 day odyssey -- after having done a couple very long (27, 40) day fasts prior.

Personally I don't put much store in that pink tongue thing. I definitely wasn't done when it showed up!

But it WAS cute...

You've done an awesome thing! I'm sure you have your break all planned out; of course a longer fast means a longer break. I was actually still eating break diet for 6 months after the 60 days!!

(But it sure tasted good!)

Great you have a supportive partner!

Nighty night,
Somer

Doing great so far! 19 days, yeah it's incredible isn't it? I must say I'm losing track of my own day count. I haven't told anyone about my fast (except you ppl) because I knew they'd label me as crazy and start trying to shove food down my throat. It's good you have such a cooperative hubby. When I did my first fast, my parents were convinced I was trying to kill myself. Now, with my history of anorexia, I can't really blame them. A lot of people who don't know about fasting probably still see this as a starvation "diet." Luckily, we know better ;)

So, how are you feeling when it comes to tiredness? Ever been hungry? I'm curious because I'm very weak at the moment and really looking forward to putting something in my stomach again (though I have to be wary about that.)

Haven't reached the "pink tongue" stage yet, either. Dont care much about that, I must say. Atleast that horrible taste in my mouth is gone.

Oh gosh, I've made this blurb about myself again....geez what kind of idiot am I?

Anywhoo, props to you for making it this far. Just a couple of days to go! Be strong (and god knows you will.) Fellow faster (and tireless chatter) wishes you luck!
