Hey my name is Bri and i have ten months to lose 60 lbs which sounds easy but im the type to wait until right up to a event to lose weight.

    I'll be your friend (: I'm also 19 and have pretty much the same goals as you do. Although, I"m not sure about the whole 7 day water fasting. I'd just start off eating healthy. No need to starve yourself.

    Set a proper calorie budget and stay within it. Water fasting is not healthy and the weight won't stay off.

    fasting will get the weight off for sure but it'll come right back...you need to eat healthy and work out it's the only way to get it off and keep it off.

    fasting isn't good for you... eating healthy with a moderate calorie intake and not overdoing the exercise will work get the wait off permanently... remember you want a lifestyle that is sustainable for your future....

    Fasting is unhealthy and unnecessary. Losing 60 lbs. in 10 months takes a reasonable and dedicated approach with a proper diet and plenty of exercise. Fasting and exercise together can easily leave a passed out and hospitalized Bri, It is definitely possible since with diet and walking for exercise alone, I lost 68 lbs. in 87 days. Walking is the only exercise I could do but for the past 5 weeks I have that has even been cut out. I have 37 lbs. to go and I am sticking to the diet and waiting to be able to restart walking.
  • I was just fasting for spiritual reasons lol i know on water fasts the weight can come back but i wasnt doing it tor weight loss
