HA! I need one of those! I used to have a little piggy that sat in my fridge; it oinked every time I opened the door - but this will be better!

11 days. Wow. I need time to think about this. Your report of the effect after 6 days - deprivation, isolation, bleak and bland - whew, that is humbling, and puts a lot of what we take for granted in new perspective.

I sleep with a window open so I can hear the wildlife. Owls, coyotes, birds, crickets, frogs. A bird nests in the pine tree just outside my window. If I get up in the night to go to the bathroom, then turn on my phone to check email or something when I get back in bed, that little bird complains! Complains about the extra…

I love Weetabix!

I really don't want to hear this! I'm ~1200 TDEE.

Thank you @blambo61. When I have recovered a bit more, I am going to post my weight graph. It's not pretty...

Haha! Same thing happens to me with certain in-laws. Happy you had a scrumptious feast. Now ENJOY some peaceful sleep tonight!!

Not a miracle, just your dedication! Oh, let me help with the smiley-faces celebration!@!@ :) B) ;) :) B) ;)

Thank you Brenda, Sandy, 1Madgirl, thank you for the encouragement. Weight this AM 191.8 Yesterday lots of roast chicken + chicken curry, cheese, lettuce, tomato. Planning ahead ... today will be a water fast.

Absolutely! B) B)

Yay for pushups and all your successes!

Your 33-week loss chart is stunning! Congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration.

Steady loss. Looks very good to me!!!

Seven pounds in one month is HUGE! Nice work!

Great loss! Love seeing your meals, thank you.

I appreciate your daily messages, your focus on each day. One day at a time. I'm going to do that this week! Thank you.

Fantastic report, fantastic progress, fantastic results!!

Wonderful athletic endeavors!

Yes, and next time, bring the boy here, to sit by my pond with me, and I will tell you if he is a keeper or not. I have LOTS of experience at this. My daughter has brought home the jerks who didn't respect her or care for her, and I could see it, although I never said anything. After all, it's her life, and her decision,…

Whew! Awesome! You inspire me. I want to try a 3 day fast, but decided to wait until after my business trip to Germany. Can't afford (literally) a breakdown while in the fast lane.

My daughter told me this is how most athletes lose races. They get ahead, then start feeling great, sure of themselves, cocky -- and they let up on the pressure. When they do that, they lose the race. She and her teammates won 2 olympic golds by never letting up on the pressure. When I saw my weight drop into the 180's, I…

Yes, please, count me in!

I wanna do that! So I conquered the 1-day water fast. Next going to try 2 days.

Agree with the value of @blambo61 comments.

Agree with @shans34

Just to clarify. Fourth day means 4th day of water only? So a 4-day water-only fast might have Monday and Saturday as the bookend days where one actually ate food?

What? 3rd day of fasting? I admire this no end.

Great report! Especially like the nuts in your diet. But the running - now that's just plain awesome!!

Total sympathy for all plantar fasciitis sufferers. I had it 6 years ago, had to put many layers of foam in a pair of slippers just to get around the house. Makes one appreciate feet when they work well!!! I also appreciated the beauty of the workings of the foot when I broke my right foot and had to use crutches. Our…
