hey hey everyone! i'm new to this forum however i'm not new to the whole practice of fasting!!

lucas- i must say i am thoroughly impressed with your ability to stick to your water fast for that extended of a period of time....it has been my goal for quite sometime to accomplish something of that magnitude for my personal health and well-being!

the longest fast i've ever completed was 20 days....i must say it was definitely the social pressure that made me cave and break my fast...lol...our society constantly involves food with almost everything we do!

THIS time however....after reading your story....and realizing i'm going to Vegas this june....i'm going to STICK to a fast for thirty complete days! I'm going to be at home for the first week and a half since i have some time off and thankfully my amazing roommate is going to make sure i STICK to it...always nice having someone else to answer to those first couple of days when it's difficult to resist temptation!

I'm currently 22 years old and am at a height of 5'2" and weigh 130lbs ....i'm planning on cutting myself hopefully down to around 105-110 but most importantly i'm focusing on losing weight around my mid-section since i know excessive body fat in the abdominal region is a huge factor for heart disease!

will check back in every couple of days and give an update!
