ok I'm getting really nervous and need some kind of reassurance from someone who has been successful fasting...
I want to lose 30 pounds total...I have approximately 7 and a half weeks (53 days) left before the summer arrives and I move, and I want to spend this time focusing on taking care of myself and restoring my health back to its optimal level. Ideally, I want to lose 30 pounds altogether, but I definitely want to lose 20 fasting...the rest can be managed through a healthy diet. but how much can really be accomplished in 53 days? How long would you guys suggest fasting for to lose 20 pounds? Do you think I should spend 30 days fasting to lose the 20? I'm just trying to prepare myself for the appropriate length of fasting and then plan out my diet to followup the fast so that I don't reverse my progress when it comes time. I know this can be done, I'm just getting worried.....has anyone actually lost 20-30 pounds within 50-some days? :) haha..thanks guys.
your help is very much appreciated!

This is a reply to # 692,377haha, how ironic that you're doing 53 days...that just happens to be the number of days I have left before I leave for the summer..I've been counting down! =) I'm so excited that you decided to start tomorrow~ I was sort of afraid that everyone was already in the middle of their fasts..it is nice to have someone to talk to & keep you motivated. I would like to do all water, but honestly, right now I just want to focus on not chewing- lol. I want to just get it in my head that I'm not eating food at all, and get into the fasting mindset, so for the first few days I think I'm gonna have water with 1-2 glasses of juice... also because I have this tendency to have blackouts if I go from eating to all-water too suddenly. A few days with juice should be a good transition, then hopefully all water and maybe herbal green tea.... (i'm not sure if you're "supposed" to have green tea?) so yeah, that's the plan!
I'm with ya 100%. I know that people get really busy in real life and sometimes stop showing up on here, (that's what happened to me last time), but I really need support this time and I've gotta stick with it..so I'll be here. let's get it goinggggg..... =)
oh but I am going out of town tomorrow night and should be back sunday..lol. Can you make it until sunday without me?!! haha

This is a reply to # 692,376hello sean,
i have lost 40 pounds by fasting for a month, and it was sooooo worth it. now i am over weight again, due to birth of second son about 7 years ago "no excuse". i have just been lazy :) but i am starting my fast tomorrow, and will fast for 20 or 30 days or however long until i lose 50 pounds right off the bat.
my fast will be a strict Water Fast and exercise. i know this can be done, because i have done it before, its all mental except for the headaches at times, however that is what tyneol is for :)
good luck to you and all of you....we can do this........we dont have to let food, laziness, and demons control our minds........be strong mentally and have faith in the higer power, and you can do this, we all can...

This is a reply to # 692,391thanks for your encouragement everyone...
haha- chacruz- my name isn't Sean :) the screen name was a mix of sea + angel, something like that. haha. You're right, it is a challenging experience mentally. physically as well, but staying disciplined and fighting temptations is the real test. I hope that we can all achieve our goals. or I should say "I KNOW that we can all achieve our goals" ..we have to phrase it so that's it's definite. hehe.
Well, we'll see how it goes...I just started today and I'm ALREADY feeling better. I'm really trying to keep the weight loss in mind & remind myself how rewarding it will be in the end.
Jenni, how are you doing?

This is a reply to # 692,376Weight Loss
Weight loss can initially be as high as three to four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound per day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between Water Fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism the slower the weight loss. If you are thin or average weight and you fast for 30 days on juice or 10 days on water, you will become thin. Ribs will show, the face will become gaunt, and friends and family will display concern. But the body will quickly normalize its weight in 5 to 10 days after the fast. If you are thin to start with, fasting may allow you to gain additional weight after the fast. Metabolism is normalized due to the cleansing process. It is very important not to try to gain weight too quickly. The body can rebuild only at a set rate. Overeating will burden the body and undermine the rebuilding process.
i lost 10 pounds in 18 days i was 130 pounds to 120
