So you are 128 pounds (a lovely weight BTW) and want to lose 30 pounds more weight by fasting/starving?
Don't kill your metabolism any more than you have to sha.

Otherwise after you get married/born pikin, the blowing-up go too serious.
It's not sustainable. Do am jeje abeg.
Post-marriage ninjobecity is never a fair thing cheesy
Lol thanks a lot, I appreciate your advice. N yeah 128 isn't that lovely lol.

Abeg luv, let the weight you lose from this point on be through normal sensible eating and exercise.
Anything extreme has a very high chance of backfiring against you in the future.

and 128 IS a lovely weight. The only way it wouldn't be lovely is if you burnt up all your muscle mass while loosing it (direct result of starvation/fasting).
If you lose weight the "slower", natural way you would be beautiful even if you were 140 because your body would still maintain enough muscle mass to keep that body perky.

Never starve to lose. smiley

watabambam: Once did 6-6 fasting for 1 week. Wow, never again. I'm not one to eat much but during the fast, the hunger was so much I was so tempted to break the fast. My fasts now are usually from 6-12.
instead of 6-12, u better do 6-1pm, that's the normal one. 6-12 is for the amateur. Unless u are not serious about what u are praying for.

The dry fast (without water and food) reminds me to be holy cos hell fire will be worse. Just finished a 7 days dry but my brethren, it ain't funny. God manifested HIS power sha (which is the crux of the whole exercise).
I wonder how people like pastor Adeboye go without food and water for 40 days every year.
I must get to that level. angry.
I must have a private jet too. grin I believe that is enough motivation. grin

Now jokes aside, fasting is a very good spiritual exercise but it is advisable you do it under guidance. It also helps in body system purification. S medically and spiritually, it is very good.

I don't know where it is stated that 6-12 is amateur and means one is not serious about his prayer...y'all should stop cooking up sh-it.

If you ask me, 6am - 3pm is fair. Anyone can do 6am - 12pm(mostly for kids or people suffering from disorders). Or better yet, skip breakfast and have lunch by 12pm.

Anywayz, what matters is keeping your heart holy during the period. 6am - 12pm or not.

[size=14pt]YOU ARE ALL PUNISHING YOURSELVES WITH STARVATION. THE OTHER DAY, THE GUY WHO COULDN'T CONTROL HIS TONGUE SPOKE ILL OF SOMEONE WHO WOULD NOT FORGIVE HIM. THE LATTER CHOPPED IN THE FORMER AND IN SPITE OF ALL PRAYERS AND FASTING IN HIS CHURCH HE WAS SENT TO JAIL AND CURRENTLY AWAITING DEPORTATION. AND, BY THE WAY, ALL THESE BIBLE CARRYING BRUVS AND SISTERS IN R**G, ET AL, ARE INTO SHADY DEALS WHICH, IF BLOWN OPEN, WOULD LAND THEM JAIL TERMS. SHAME.[/size]

I tried fasting for 24hours but feeding on fruit juices 12pm and 6pm. So unfortunate, I couldn't make it. Gave up some few minutes pass 11pm cox it looked like I got stroke. My body was numb on the left.

Fasting is a highly beneficial spiritual excercise. If long fasting is to be made, isolation from your environ's is the best,inorder to avoid unwanted distractions. BTW, on the 1st day of my 3-days fast,the food cooked on that day was appetizing and well garnished with chicken. Trust me, i had to do what i had to do.

On first of november a fast was declared in my house by me...i encouraged everybody on d last day of oct to fast d next day being d first day of nov which was d penultimate month of d year so they all agreed. At about 5am d said day, i woke up and started taking tea, and my sis who was with me in d room, called my name and said what are you doing, i told her dt i's eating, she said are we not fasting again, i said i am but i got to eat cos i didn't eat on dt 31st of oct, she got up and joined me...we ate. And dt carried me through till 3pm. I THINK IT'S OK TO EAT BEFORE 6AM, IF U ARE FASTING 6 TO 6. henceforth dt's my way
Re: What Has Been Your Unique Experience With Long Fasting? by feminineA: 7:01am On Nov 14, 2012
Fasting makes one lighter thereby been very sensitive to the holy spirit. Because my body isn't weighed down by food I can easily hear instructions and word from the holy spirit. On the other side because of lack of food one becomes weak at times too weak to pray which is crucial in fasting. So one has to strike a balance so fasting at the end doesn't turn out to be hunger strike.

Fasting without prayer is starvation if its for spiritual purposes. Midnight to mid-day is fair enough though

I once did 7 days 6am - 6pm,my eye balls were rolling and blinking in their sockets before the 7th day,my rib bones were begging for flesh to cover them.
These days I only do 6am to 12pm or 6am to 3pm
