I am a newbie at water fasting.  I jumped in head first.  I have read if you make it to 21 one days you will reap benefits.  If you go over, then will achieve the best results.  I am not sure how many days you can really go.  That is a very good question.  I am doing a 35 day water fast.  Tomorrow will be my first week into the fast.  I feel motivated by God.  He is keeping me full with his spirit.  I feel so good.  My husband said I have not screamed as much.    I have to admit I was feeling depressed and angry before the ...

We eat to feed our emotions.  We need to learn how to handle this differently.  I’m bored I eat.  I’m stressed I eat. It never fails. You know what?  What you are doing is opening up your eyes and you are seeing everything so clearly now.  Have you ever thought about switching jobs?  Do you feel liberated enough to take a drastic step?  That step can lead to a much more meaningful job.  Best of luck to you with that.  Sometimes I wish I worked instead of being a SAHM, but now I think about it....heck nah...I’m the boss!...lol... Oh yeah.  ...

You are so on!!!   This is exactly what I need.  People do not realize how crucial a supoprt system is.  When you do good, it will make me do good- vice versa.  We will feed off of positive energy, water, and of course the strength we are provided with our good Lord.   I know what you mean about the lazy Saturday mornings.  My husband always made a huge breakfast and we would lounge around in our pj’s all day.  It’s time for a change.  Those lazy Saturdays, Sundays...etc....made me the way I am.   I am so with you on the exercise c ...

Wow!  Good for you!  You are doing fabulous!  Or is it flab-u-less?  I just made that up and it may sound a bit cheezy.  Ok.  It was cheezy.  Twenty-one days.  Wow.  You are truly an insperation.  I am fast approaching my one week mark tomorrow of strictly water fasting with the occasional every other day cup of ginseng diet tea.  I don’t know you but yet I am so proud of you. I really felt that it was God’s will to go on a fast.  I would have never venture this without the strenght I have received from our Lord.  It is am ...

Thanks for all the help.  I sure appreciate your time.   Congratulations on entering week 2!!  You deserve a big pat on the back!  I started my cleanse on Saturday @ 8pm or so.  I did not realize how many days I am already into this too.  Wow.  This feels great.  I have lots of energy today.  No urge to eat.  But I do feel some what nauseated.  I have a daily bowel movement every morning.  I sooo need to do a swf.  Yeah.  My husband is coming around.  Actually, for the past 3 days he has been going to ...

Hello.  How are you doing today?    I am proud to say I made it through another day.  I am on day 3.  I had hunger pains all day yesterday.  If I were to act on my old instincts, I would have stuffed my mouth.  My husband asked me it it were okay for me to have only one hot dog.  Silly man.  He is amazed to see how strong I have been.     So where exactly can you purchase ketone strips? And it is ok to work out!  Does it speed up the process?  I’m ready to get back into action.   Lol.  This morning my hu ...

Wow.  Keep it up!  You are doing fantastic!  Please keep us posted on your progress.  I am on day 3.  I have to remain strong.  I am going 35 days.  Today was a test.  I had cooked a nice and tasty meal for the family, served them, packed my hubby’s lunch, and clean up...whew!!  I am around food all day.  I have kiddos.  Today was a challenge.  My stomach aches.  But I know this will subside.  I can get through this.  The reason I started fasting is because I had a wisdom tooth come out.  It was causing me extr ...

Hello. Just wanted to keep everyone updated with my progress. I am still going strong and my confidence in succeeding with this fast is growing by the hour. My weigh in today: 190lbs That is 13lbs less than when I originally started this thread. Keep up the good work everyone. This fast is far more rewarding than food. The food will still be here once your fast is completed. Don’t give in to temptations. Best reguards, Trudy   [End]

I am so new at this.  I jumped in head first.  But I felt compelled and I truly believe my higher power led me to fast.  The Lord is providing me with positive energy and a strong mind set.  I have struggled with my weight far too long.  I am gaining the will power I never had.  I remember cooking dinner eating chips and dips to turn around a eat close to two servings what I was cooking.  Fast forward.....every thing in my life led up to this fast.  I can’t fail with God on my side.  What a close connection for someone who hadn’t reached out to ...

I am sorry you are not doing to well mentally.  I am sure you are strong as a horse physically!  Often when you are faced with negative thoughts and perceptions, you are now in a negative state of gloom and misery.  If you have a positive mind set, you will see wonders.  Keep yourself occupied.  Don’t try to over work yourself though.  Read a book.  Sit outside in the sun.  Rest.  Release yourself from the world.  This is the perfect time to attend to your needs and be responsive of your body’s needs.  If you believe in God but not a ...

Hello.  I am still going strong.  I have learned through fasting, you have to keep your spirits high along with a postive attitude.  I can do this.  I know I can do this.   Last night, I had to prepare dinner for my family as usual.  I don’t want to get into graphic details of the lush dinner, but it looked good... I prepared the meal.  I served my family.  I cleaned the kitchen.  While drinking a nice glass of warm water with a straw. I am truly amaze what my body can endure.  Granted I did have a bit of a weak spell and dizziness ...

Well.  I started my fast Saturday evening around 9ish or so.  This is my first fast ever.  I just made it to my second day!!  My tummy has been grumbling but nothing major.  I have absolutely no cravings for food.  I am thirsty though!  I even prepared a dinner for my family and did not touch or sample.  I am so proud of myself.   Water never tasted this good!    I plan to do at least 21 days!   -Trudy in Texas    [End]

Keep it up. Keep it up. I am super hyped up. Tonight I had to prepare hamburgers and fries for the family and I resisted temptations. It is a constant battle everyday cooking for my hubby and kids. But I can do it. We can do it. Can’t wait to hear about your day! -Trudy   [End]

Hey.  I am a complete newbie to this.  I definitely need someone to share this journey with.  I am on day 2 sa well.  Well sort of...I have been drinking lots and lots of water.  But since I have kiddos, I have to have some aid with my energy so I consumed a slim fast on both days in the morning, 1/2 avacado for lunch, and the other half for dinner.  And that is all.  Other than that, I have been a good girl. I am soo committed.   Good luck to you!!   [End]

Hello.  I am a newbie too.  Today is the start of my fast.  I want to try 10 days.  If my body feels up to it, I may go 21 days.  Congratulations on your weight loss.  You are 9lbs lighter than you were to begin with.  That is a considerable amount of loss for 3 days.    I can’t wait until I lose the weight.  I am keeping it off too!  I know it is important to eat healthy and exercise daily.  My body is my temple.  (Shakin head)all the years of abuse.   Best Reguards, Trudy    [End]

As of June 27th, I vowed I would change my life. I am a SAHM of 3 beautiful children (6,22mo, 4mo). Two pregnancies in two years have taken a toll on my body. My pre pregnancy weight was 180lbs. My full term pregnancy weight was 240lbs. My post partum weight was 230lbs. June 27th, I was 214lbs. Today, I am at 203lbs. I have committed myself to a lifestyle change. I stocked my fridge with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. My freezer is lined with lean meats such as chicken, shrimp, and fish. I am eating healthy. I am also incorporating a daily exercise routine. Every d ...
