Hey there

Im in exaclty the same situation as you hun in the fact that i havent really gotten past day one. I am now at a point where i think im really ready to do this and do this well. Im starting out at 180lbs also and have a goal of 132. Im planning on a 40 day Water Fast so we see how it all goes! You can do it hun, WE can do it! x

Today is my day 1 also...Ive only made it for three days last year and lately I can not make it past day 1 so I have no advice because my advice doesnt even help me !!!! But lots of great success stories here, lots of positive reinforcement and Im sure you will suceed.

Hi jojo224, your goal of losing 30 pounds in 2 months is entirely reachable and reasonable. The first week, actually the first 3-4 days, is usually the most difficult to get through.

My suggestions are not to go too long with just water if you begin to crave food, switch to juice when that happens. Also, a daily Sea Salt solution cleansing enema is a major assist while doing any kind of fast. For me it helps reduce the craving for food, and also helps if I get a headache.

When I'm fasting I actually look forward to the enema. If I have a headache, it's usually gone by the time I'm off the toilet. It seems to just disappear without my even realizing it.

Enemas also help in preventing the building up of the concentration of toxins in your system as your fast progresses and your natural peristalsis slows down. This bowel function slowdown is a normal result of the lack of bulk in your dietary intake during the fast.

I offer you lots of encouragement to stick with your program to reach your goal, as I know many readers on this forum do as well. Keep us posted on your progress.

Good luck!
