My Extended Water Fast

Hi All,

Posting here because I am at a bit of a rough moment. I am in my 24th day of a water fast (572 hours to be exact) and I haven’t lost ANY WEIGHT in 7 days. I am stuck at about 133, and I fluctuate up and down for the last week. What am I doing wrong? So frustrated and feeling like giving up.

Is it close to your time of the month?

No, I have about another week or more until then.

Hi… I read that it’s normal to have up to a week of no weight loss during a fast but that if you take your measurements you will see your body change for the better… then it said you will all of a sudden see 3 or 4 pounds loss in a day or two. You are doing great! Stay the
Course :slightly_smiling_face::four_leaf_clover:

Unfortunately, it is common not to lose weight on the 4th week, but you will be losing inches. You are doing great, keep it up.

I’ve seen extended fast research saying you can expect to lose 1-2 lbs p/day the first few days of a fast, then it will go to about 1/2 lb p/day for a couple weeks, then move to about 1/4 lb p/day as you go longer. So, the weight loss does slow down but it doesn’t completely stop. I agree w/Stacia that you will probably see a 3 lb drop on the scale in the next several days. How long of a fast are you doing?

Okay, I hope that’s the case. I know I won’t quit before hitting 30 days but really would like to try and go for 40 since I’ve been feeling really good other than the stall in weight loss.

For sure doing 30, potentially 40 if I see some progress! I feel totally fine and have plenty of energy, no I’ll side effects or anything.
