Good job on making it to day 8. I did an 8 day fast December 10th. Weight is going to drop slower, but still stick with it. It helps for me to NOT focus on the weight and just think of my body feed...   [End]

Congrats! I fasted from December 10th until the 18th (8 days) and will be starting again after dinner with friends tomorrow night. It’s sometimes amazing how little attention people put on YOUR eating, but when they DO notice that you aren’t eating, it’s hell. And that kind of worry is definitely unwanted. Keep up the good work.   [End]

I know you are Andrew! And you’ve been great. You’re not alone in that Christmas has definitely effected my diet as well. I want to just get all the social eating over with as soon as I can, but it seems to be dragging out. I wanted to hit both of my relatives’ houses tomorrow and then dine with my friends on Wednesday, the 26th; but it seems my family is going to be hung over and will save the relatives for later. I am still planning on fasting on the 27th, but I was hoping to avoid the awkwardness altogether. It’s awesome that you will be fasting on the 27th with me. All the suppor ...

So tonight is Christmas Eve dinner. Tomorrow is Christmas and on the 26th my friends want to eat together. I would like to fast as soon as possible, and the 27th seems to be the earliest. I created an online blogring for a December 10th fast called ”Fasting Together” at xanga.com. It was pretty cool. I got an account and wrote an entry each day (sometimes more) about my fast and ”joined” the blogring so other members of the blogring could see when I posted. Some pretty awesome people commented on my posts, encouraging and supporting me. It kept me motivated and fasting until I finally b ...

Hey there, I saw your post and would like to offer support and tell you about my online journal that I’ve got going. I created a xanga blogring for a group of us going to fast on December 10th. I ended up fasting for 8 days. I had been trying to fast by myself and wasn’t able to do it until I got a group of people to fast with me. It was really motivating because I didn’t want to type up in my blog entry ”Hey guys, I blew it.” I want to fast again, water fast, for maybe like 10 days if I can or however long I feel necessary. It would be great to have someone to fast with. Tomorrow do ...

Hey OliveJuice, I recently organized a fasting group that started December 10th. There were about 5 or so of us and it was pretty great. I fasted for 8 days and lost about 17 pounds. I would like to fast again soon and would be more than happy to fast with you. The first couple days are the hardest. Once you get through those, it’s actually a breeze. I wrote an entry everyday on an online journal called xanga. Would you be interested in blogging on xanga? Let me know. I would comment on your blogs and offer encouragement. Just so you know, I’m 21 years old and went from 163 lbs to 147. ...

Hey girl, I recently organized a fasting group that started December 10th. There were about 5 or so of us and it was pretty great. I fasted for 8 days and lost about 17 pounds. I would like to fast again soon and would be more than happy to fast with you on the 28th. Even if I don’t go 40 days, I think I could be of a help just because those first couple days are the hardest. Once you get through those, it’s actually a breeze. I wrote an entry everyday on an online journal called xanga. Would you be interested in blogging on xanga? Let me know. I would comment on your blogs and offer en ...

Hey internet peeps! I just wanted to let everyone know about a water fast beginning on Monday, Dec. 10, 2007. Check it out at: http://www.xanga.com/FastingVictoria I’m hoping that people interested will get a xanga profile, join the ”Fasting Together” blog ring and journal about their fast and comment on other people’s entries, encouraging and supporting them. If you have already started a fast (like Fonty) I welcome you too! It would be great to read about your experiences and hear from you too! K. Hope to see you around.   [End]

Hey there BlueGreen, I’m so glad that you replied. I have managed to get other people to want to fast as well and have attempted to make an online community for us to journal our progress and be able to support each other. Waiting until Sunday sounds fine. I was thinking about fasting on Monday. One women that replied to my post is currently juice fasting and will water fast starting on Monday. I figured it would probably be best to just hop on that wagon with her. So although I wanted to jump right into water fasting this weekend, I have decided to drink juice and eat raw foods only un ...

I’ve fasted before, 5 days at most, and really feel the need to do it again. I’ve been reading about it all week and have been trying to do it by myself, but have had such a difficult time. I do so much better when I’m doing it with someone else! If I have someone to talk to... to say, ”Hey, I made it today!” to at the end of the day... :-/ I’ve been journaling, but that isn’t quite cutting it. Would anyone be interested in water fasting with me? I want to do a water fast. I want to start tonight, tomorrow, but would be willing to wait a couple days, ease into it with juices fo ...
