So I’m 10 hrs away from ending my 7 day fast. Honestly I can’t believe I’ve made it. I love food, like I am always eating. If you told me a couple of months ago I’d be going off food for days I’d say you were crazy. But here I am! I’m really glad to have found a great support system here online.
I know those 12lbs are part fat, part water weight, and some muscle but I’m proud of my progress. This has been my lowest weight si ce high school. Currently at 124lbs, my goal is to get to 115lbs on keto or fasting, accounting for the water weight so that I’d be around 120lbs for maintenance. This is my projected weight to hit 18-20%BF.
Ladies, you can do it! Our bodies are more capable than we think. <3
Thank you for sharing! I’ve been wondering if a longer fast is beneficial to women (read conflicting info). You are proof that the weight loss can be significantly worth the effort. …. Ditto on the “never would have thought I could fast”. I’ve found that I can fast BECAUSE I love food! On a diet, you never really get to feel full or eat those forbidden foods. Fasting, I can tell myself to just be patient and I’ll eat what I want. I usually end up choosing low carb but at least I have the option not to.
Congratulations! This is seriously the motivating. I’m 48 hours into a 2 week fast at 130 and I really wasn’t sure what kind of results I could expect, it’s so nice to see people with similar stats making huge gains with their fasts! With your kind of resilience I have no doubt you’ll hit your goal!
I am so happy to hear you say this! I am on Day 3 of a 7 day fast and it has hit me like a ton of bricks. I am going to push through, but like you I am someone who loves food and has a history of always eating, so if I can pull this off, it will be one of my greatest accomplishments! 😊 Congrats on your awesome progress!
