You don’t have to do water but I am. I have done 21 days water and then in between. My diet is poor now and so is my self esteem. Stats : Height 5’11 Weight 185 Size: 12 Measurements 37c - 30- 40 Goal weight: 165 ish and a size 9/10 I would like to drop 20 lbs and go down to a size ten, then begin to tone up again. I am naturally curvy and carry my weight well so I don’t think dropping to a size 6 is for me. Took me yrs t except I am a tall big curvy gal. Anyone want to be my buddy? I am wanting to start tommorrow Thanks!   [End]

Although I’m quite aware this is FASTING FOR WEIGHTLOSS as the number one goal, instead of fasting for cleansing, I think some of the posts is a bit ridiculous. I just completed a 21 day water only fast which for the first time of my life was primarily for weightloss. I am an avid water faster and raw foodists and normally do these for cleansing purposes. This time I decided I needed to do one due to me going on some sugar fest the past 6 weeks, and 25 lbs later. All I keep reading is many MANY people who have not even done a fast in their life, and to top that off have THE worst diets ...

I really do not see how you are going to maintain this weight loss, if you cave when you look at cheesecake/sugared stuff etc, and you obviously haven’t had a good healthy balanced diet. Perhaps instead of trying this temporary quick fix (which is was it really is)you should try an actual diet of non fatty foods, then progress into an almost raw diet, then fast. Otherwise I can almost bet you’re going to go back to your old habits once you are done and not only gain the weight, but also more added since your metablolism is slow. Also, half of your posts sound like a person with an E ...

I dont really believe in weighing myself as I suffered w/ an ED so I go by my clothing. The old size is a small 10 (i’m 5’10 btw) and before I was at a size 12 and a porker . A size 10 is the perfect size for me as I’m naturally curvy. My pooch is almost gone again. They say you lose about one pound a day as u get further into your fasting so I’m not sure if 40 lbs is feasable. Unless you’re really overweight to begin w/ then ull most likely drop more due to the change in your body, hope this helps! and goodluck   [End]

Meaning fasting just for weightloss. I guess technically I’m not fasting mainly for weightloss, but normally detoxing is my number one goal, then the weightloss is a bonus, but this time its reversed. I gained like 20 lbs in the past 3-4 weeks (thank you spring break blah), and I want to lose like 30 lbs. I’m bearly breathing in my size 10’s these days lol! Horrible I know. I want to get back into my size 10’s comfortably so about 25 lbs I say because I look good in that size (I’m 5’10 btw hr glass figure). So I plan on fasting for 21 days on water.

I wondered that too but then I thought about a balloon. Say you have a balloon w/ writing on it- when its blown up, it stretched but the writing is more ’smooth’, but when it deflates the writing is all rippled. I don’t know if that applies to skin? I’ve been skin brushing though and that actually helps. I used to be so bothered by stretch marks, but everyone has them, even my 6 ft size 4 model sister does, from growing!   [End]

Hi #24134 I have totally been blessed by the success of your fast. I have been doing research and it seems that long fasts aren’t really dangerous unless a person is really toxic or ill. I am about the same weight as you (155) and I long to be down to a smaller size. Ultimate goal weight 120. How have you been doing since you’ve been off your fast with keeping the weight off and battling temptations? It can be so hard sometimes. anyways, I’m doing a 30 day water fast starting tomarrow. I’m already battling with thoughts that I won’t be able to do it. Any tips? ~ snowy   [End]

Although this is late, and youd be on almost your second week of fast. (I haven’t heard from you since this post so I’m a bit worried?

Hearing from your weight I dont think so.

I really don’t understand what all the ’discussion’ is about. It doesnt take brain surgery. Fasting is done to cleanse the body, right? and what is the most pure substance we know of? water? So why would one take 0 cal drinks w/ shit in it? I mean duh? And as far as people who can’t water fast that decide to do this ’fast’. I say then you obviously do NOT want to fully cleanse your body but rather drop some weight. Anyone can do that. Water (and dry) fasting is the ONLY real fast IMO. Anything else is just some elimination/ strict ’diet’. Diets shouldnt be meant as a ’fad’ for a ce ...

u really shouldnt fast for weight loss. For the most part the ppl on this site that want to fast for 30+ days are in no way obese nor need a ’jump start’ to losing weight. Yes if your diet is extremely bad I would say fast as a way to turn your diet around, but then excercise too. You might end up developing an ED and become so obsessed with weight like that. Just be careful.   [End]

I completely agree w/what you and Mike said. As far as weight loss is concerned, it kind of scares me that over the recent weeks there seems to be a lot of ppl that are coming here wanting to fast for 30+ days in attempts to drop weight fast. I’ve suffered from both anorexia and bulimia for about 10 yrs and it’s not a fun thing. Fasting can cause you to have an ED and fasting that long, and taking a break (like a week I remember one anonymous member said), then fasting again for another month does so much to your heart. The most I can fast for safely is 10 days, and even then I ca ...
