Hello everyone, my challenge for myself is to do a 30 day WF. I have done 15 day and 20 day waterfast. My birthday is March 6, I would love to lose 50lbs. Current weight is 226, I did gain about 13 pounds (maybe more) from last fast in November. Good luck to everyone! Started 1/1 @ 9PM

will you be supplementing with anything or just strait water ?
Welcome back!
Nice to see one of our successful fasters back.
Are you aiming to lose the 50lbs in 1 fast or in a series of fasts?
When I completed my 40-day in November I lost 44lbs at the end of that fast. Overall, I lost a max of 81lbs beginning in Aug 9th. Right now current loss is 67lbs because of regrowth of major organs, gaining of lean muscle mass and, of course, water weight. Will be starting a 21-day on the 20th.

@Lcast My researched-Backed treatment protocol had a major goal and a minor goal. My estimated timeline was 6 months to 1 year. The major goal was to be “medication free”. At the start I suffered from T2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, gout and CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). I got fed up with my doctor’s advice that was NOT matching my deteriorating health reality so I went and created my own cure. The minor goal was weight loss meaning it wasn’t my main focus.
4 months & 5 days later I was officially declared “medication free” by my Physician’s Assistant after review of lab results, weight scale and b.p. Readings. Everything Is normal except the CKD which has shown positive progress. By eliminating the 2 causes for CKD: diabetes and hypertension, I know it’s just a matter of time.
Sorry for the long back story but it’s needed for context. With my major challenge conquered, I needed a new one. I came up with one; but, before going public I had to do my research to come with a plan that gave me the confidence I could achieve it. It also had to incorporate a deadline of my doctor’s appointment on June 12th, 5 months and 10 days from now.
I was successful so I announced my new BIG Hairy Assed goal 2 days ago. It’s to drop my body fat to 13% which translates to losing 54 pounds. This can change as I add lean muscle mass; but, that’s how it stands now.

What water do you drink…is it just tap water or fizzy unsugared natural water? I find liquoride and mint herbal tea nice. Good luck

So… I broke my fast this weekend. I did restart last night. I’m not sure why I am having trouble with fasting again. I was disappointed in myself but restarted again. Has o is anyone else having trouble with fasting. Really going to hold myself accountable in this group.

What are fasting drops?
What was the reason you broke fast?
For myself, the only time I had trouble restarting was a period of 4 consecutive days I kept failing. At first I thought it was a matter of willpower. After the 4th fail in a row I realized it was my body screaming at me that it needed a break. By that time I had done 2 1/2 months of my treatment protocol without a break. I took a 9 day ReFeed and then was able to successfully complete the 40 day.

I did good on Wednesday- Saturday. Come Sunday, I felt like a huge hunger wave during church. Once church service was over went to grocery store kept my mind occupied. I just ate out of habit I guess, I felt disappointed but I gathered my thoughts and had to pep talk myself.
I get mine from Keto Chow. They have salt, potassium and magnesium.
Day 2 almost over! My feet are freezing 
. Brushed my teeth as soon as I got home, helps me not to stuff anything in my mouth. Had to cook for family, I was strong. Hope everyone is doing great. Going to sleep early hopefully by 8:30.
