Day 2… Not proud of Day 1. Had coffee late in the day due to a Live on telegram. Superior call. Also did not do the extra exercises but I am up early so I can get them in today. Had a slight headache yesterday but I am resolute about sticking to today’s fast. Just 5 more days to go and then I will see where I go from there.

Day 3… November 3, 2022. Did it All!! So Psyched! Doing Very well with exercises, Fasting And handling temptations!! There is a Zoom Call today and I am All a Dither!! THIS is what I wanted. The Zoom Calls. That is what we did the time I went 25 days. Not Daily Zoom Calls but 3 times a week, I think. It helped So Much, so I am Hopeful!!

Day 4… November 4, 2022. Ok. I have a dental appointment Monday Morning and I am going to have to face the fact that people are going to know I have put On weight in the last year and that is going to be very Humbling. Pride is an Awful sin to deal with and pretending that I have it all together. I hate that but I have to confront it. I guess we are pulling off band-aides in other areas as well. Also, I am having a tough time committing to my fast and I didn’t expect that. So, Commit again today like it was any other addiction. No excuses. On the good side, I Exercised!! 4 in a Row!!!

Day 5… November 5, 2022. Still haven’t committed. So Much Good stuff is happening and I want to Celebrate instead of fasting. Emotions play Way too large of a part in my life. I need help with that. I will be exercising after work today because we left for the grocery store at 6:45 so I had no time this morning. I know that I will do it, so there’s that. I am fasting now. I had coffee for the visit to the store. Tough habit to break because I don’t Want to break it. I only put heavy cream in it, so it should be pretty good.

Day 6… November 6, 2022. I fast today because I have the Dentist at 8 tomorrow and I will go in Fasted (so my blood pressure is low for the exam). I will have my teeth professionally Cleaned and That will make it So much easier to remain fasted until the kids get here. So, “Not 1 Bite, Not one Sip” (of anything but Electrolyte Water) until the kids are up here, or for at least 26 days, or 30. And I am of course Fasting all day Today, or did I already say that?! I’m excited. Good things are Here, Already. And of course, we Vote at 8AM on Tuesday! IF the Elections are not Cancelled, which I am still believing they are. We’ll see. Exciting Times! I believe we are HERE! Finally. All this time, and it’s Go Time! So, I am Exercising today since I won’t have time tomorrow morning. Yahoo! Oh, and I am filling out my Journal for the week, Today. And finishing my homework for the Fasting Group. And Posting it all. Go Me… New Beginnings! I weigh 130! and I Eat like a Skinny person, and I am Fit!

Day 12… November 12. Day 2 in the November Challenge on Telegram. Yesterday was Monumental. No Symptoms at all. Had good emotions, no craving, slightly tempted but no more than to re-access my decision. Pretty easy. Went to bed early and slept great. Today is Day 2 and I just re-read my initial post in July, 2021. That is the measuring stick I use for All my fasting journeys. By the way, Dentist trip was great. Normal BP and No Cavities. Very little plaque. That is NORMAL with a Fasting Lifestyle. The decision is the ONLY hard part in this journey. Once you are on the road, every day is easier. You Don’t want to Stop because Winning Feels So Good!! Onward until November 21, if we celebrate Thanksgiving this year. It’s just Bob and me, so we’ll decide when we get there (Bob loves that I am losing weight because it is so important to Me. Food is just not very important to either of us). AND unless the kids come up this year for a visit. That Trumps everything!! (see how I did that?!!)

Really enjoying your journal. I was looking for someone that has experiences around the same age. It’s funny cause you seem to have a cheese weakness also. I am trying to get a Day 1 I will keep trying.

I was told that it doesn’t matter how many Day 1’s you need, keep going. I agree with that. Eventually we will make it and it is worth the struggle. So, Good for you! You are here and are further ahead than people who never try. Good Job!!
Day 14… November 14, 2022. Day 4 on the November Challenge. I am resolute in this challenge. I will Not quit! Thanksgiving is right around the corner and so much good is being accomplished inside. Never Quit; Never give up!! I am so glad for the exercise challenge that was posed. I feel the difference and the exercise is as important, or more, than the Fasting challenge. It’s Good to be on this journey! So, keep on keeping on!

Day 1… November 28, 2022. Day 1 was excellent. very slight headache. No temptations. I must restart whenever necessary. When I got on the scales this morning I saw IT WAS NECESSARY! Fasting December and January with Yasemin’s group. Expecting Victory!
Day 2… November 29, 2022. Doing ABs and Glutes today. Much Needed. I hurt my shoulder 10 days ago and still having trouble but less each day now. Need to do a load of Laundry today since each fasted day makes it more difficult to carry the hamper upstairs and down the LONG Hallway and doing that several times for each load. So… Expecting Victory with food, or the lack thereof since I am already feeling like I have been on this a while. Good Feeling. I’m sure my body is saying inside, “Oh. We’re doing This again, huh?! All right then.” It doesn’t fight me much anymore. Yahoo.
I read this intro. This website seemed to go dead, but I know people live on… and struggle 
.
I have been alone in my struggle all my adult life because my entire family is heavier than me.
Would you like some support here? How did it all turn out for you?
HI, It Did go dead. Life goes on and Nov. and Dec. are Very busy days. It’s Jan. 20, 2023 and I am on Day 5 of a 7-day Dry Fast, ending 8 PM Sunday, Jan. 22. It has been a Very good fast. I figure at this point my body says, “Oh. We’re doing This again.” I have had No symptoms except Temptation to eat or drink. And “Just Say No” works Every time. Yasemin has been a Tremendous support. I invite you to join her group. I am so glad I joined her this time. It was my Christmas gift from my husband. He’s The Best. Yasemin asked me to start making noes this Dry Fast, maybe she meant on Here. I have kept putting it off. Maybe this is how I get back on the bandwagon. By the way, my family is overweight and they don’t encourage Water fasting, and Definitely no Dry. They have bought into the medical lies, like “You will DIE if you go 3 days without water.” Even my Bible teacher, Andrew Wommack, said that ON TV. I responded with, “Andrew, That’s a LIE!” So, I will attempt to stay with this. I have “Many pounds before I sleep” … maybe that quote is incorrect.

I completely agree with you!
Here’s what I heard long ago is occurring in the Mitochondria all day all throughout your body:
This membrane surrounds the mitochondrial matrix, where the citric acid cycle produces the electrons that travel from one protein complex to the next in the inner membrane. At the end of this electron transport chain, the final electron acceptor is oxygen, and this ultimately forms water (H20).
I’m not saying we form enough water in the mitochondria to survive like the lizard in the desert can, but yes, we produce water in a similar method. I hope you know when to stop. But I’m impressed you knew this.
Day 1, Monday, February 13, 2023… Water Fast today. Fasting until Easter. Lent begins, Wednesday, Feb. 22. Started Monday because I needed to get on this Now. Thursday is Water Fast, Epsom Salts early and Decaf Coffee and OMAD around 5PM, then immediately continue the Water or Bone Broth. until bedtime. I want to see if there is any weight gain. That’s the Plan.

Day 3, February 15, 2023… Did not weigh yet, 6:30 Am, because I am headed back to bed for another hour. Happy that this is day 3. Doing a lot of analyzing to see how I will be doing this Fast through Feb. and the entire month of March the time of Lent. Lent is actually when I fell in love with Fasting. My sisters and I did this every year and it stuck with me. My one sister is doing IF, so that is Fabulous; actually, possibly both. That is how I got Back into Fasting, through IF, and now, I am concentrating on staying with it, after all the years of doing “Hit and Miss”. (talk about run-on sentences?!!) So March is going to be “Hitting it Hard”, the Lenten Special!

Hello! Can I join you? I’m starting a 35 day fast as well (until March 22), so similar but not quite as long of a goal as yours.
