Hi, I will be starting a second Water Fast beginning this March 2017, only a few days away.
I loved the results on my first Water Fast of 7 days early this year, so I'm back again with the hope of completing a longer one. I will listen to my body as to how long I will stay on this fast, but my initial intention is to stick to it as long as I can throughout March.
My wish is to ultimately lose weight, gain motivation and a healthier outlook, and reset my body and mindset without some bad habits and to heal some ongoing ailments.
It would be great to have at least one other person to share a Water Fasting journey with, whether you are wanting to or thinking about starting one anytime throughout March.

This is a reply to # 2,356,382That's great, best of luck. I'm so ready to get started, especially knowing others are doing it at the same time. Share the good and bad, this can be a place to unload, rant, crave and brag 😊

Hi,
I am also preparing to begin a water-only fast on March 1. I intend to fast between 31 and 40 days.
I have fasted for durations of 3, 7, 9 and 11 days before and want to go on a long fast this time to reset my eating habits, for spiritual reasons and also to hopefully get rid of extra weight.Male, 30, 170 cm (5ft7), 228 pounds
I work a desk job during the week so it will be interesting to see how I fare at work.- Re: Starting a Water Fast March 2017... Kaylene

This is a reply to # 2,356,400Sounds like you're a seasoned faster 😀
It's motivating to share this fast with others, my friends and colleagues give me a mixed bag of responses about the fast, it's not everyone's deal.
I'm also working through this fast, I'm an early education teacher so I've got to have my game on. I'm looking forward to the challenge. Best of luck and I'd love to hear any updates you have as you go.

This is a reply to # 2,356,217Hi everyone!
Hope you're all doing well... I would love to join you all in this fast also... I will probably start Monday the 6th and aiming for 21-30 days... I am eating clean for the next few days in preparation...
I am 170lbs currently and ultimate goal of around 130lbs, I am 5.6 ft...
What type of water are you all drinking? I am in Ireland and unfortunately it is near impossible to get distilled water without purchasing a distiller from the UK...
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 2,356,503Hi!
Hope your preparation goes well.
I'm going with filtered tap water. I searched for packaged distilled water (I live in England) and it looks like some DIY stores stock it, supposed to be for the car engine. I wasn't too sure if that is drinkable though so I'm sticking with filtered water for now.- Re: Starting a Water Fast March 2017... Tiptop

This is a reply to # 2,356,743Hi I'm starting a bit late here in March. I did a 9 day the day after St. Patrick's Day last year and was successful so maybe I'll be successful again. Last year dropped 17 lbs. in 9 days. As of today I am 5'1.5" and 144lb. I am a bad with Sugar so getting over the first few days is hard for me although I am rarely truly hungry. The worst part of fasting for me is dry mouth and later on heartburn although drinking warm water helps. I'm going to need support after day 3. I break around then. Glad to join you all!
Happy fasting. My goal is 21 days.Thank you.

This is a reply to # 2,359,049Good going!
Yes... Just make sure your careful with your sweeteners even fruit when you break it.
It's a very slippery slope once your body gets a taste. You can opt for things like green juices, cucumber, tomato, lettuces, and other non hardcore sweet things so that you gradually introduce sugars slowly. And broths, they are fantastic!
That's my 2c hehe
All the best with your journey! Day 19 for me!- Re: Starting a Water Fast March 2017... Tiptop

This is a reply to # 2,359,246Thank you! Yes, Sugar is definately my downfall. I find one bit of it sets me off like nothing else. Even fruit. Good luck to you you really have made progress.

This is a reply to # 2,359,049Hi there...Fair play to you planning on 21 days. I did a 3 day one last week and lost 8 pounds. Unfortunately I didn't break it very well and gained the weight back. I have started again today and plan on doing 10 days and hopefully breaking it sensibly. Have you done many of them before or just the one last year? Mary

This is a reply to # 2,359,430Hi Mary,
I have done several 3-5 day fasts since my first one a year ago. I haven't made it past 5 since. I am setting a tentative goal of 21 but if I can go longer I will. My 9 day yielded great results. I lost 17lbs of which I kept 12 off. I really just feel so much more controlled in my food choices. Also I have noticed that if I try to start a fast before my period I can't stick to it but if I try right after it ends I have more control and my weightloss is twice as much as it would be if I started right before my period. Just my thoughts. My hormone let els totally even out on a fast too. Good luck!
