I suggested 5 days, then Deb said she would go until 7/16. I then agreed to go until 7/16. Zenus said she will go 5 for sure and see how she feels before commiting to 7 days. It looks like we 4 are on for 7/9 starting a 5-7 day extended fast! 🤗

Cool beans, I love it when a plan comes together! Just remember folks an EF goes a lot smoother if you keep your carbs on the downlow the week prior!!!

Is your longer fast listed as a 'challenge'? I'd like to join you.

Ummm, no, it's just a spontaneous type thing, we are all fasters but we do it on different schedules, so we are synching up to get one in together, feel free to join. We are starting after the evening meal on July 9th, going for a 5 day fast, but I want to break mine on Sunday, so the others are gonna try for a 7 also. Feel free to join!

It is not listed as a challenge. Are we all 5 still on the website sometimes? I mostly use the app and will happily create a challenge there if that is useful. Welcome, Erika!

The 9th is the waning of the Gibbous moon, said to make fasting easier. I love waning moons and do my best meditations on the waning crescent, so I'm guessing I will be peaceful enough to do an EF. BTW, I don't consider my three day fasts to be an EF really, it's just my alternate day fasting done back to back :)

That would be cool Lady D if you are willing, I'm not up to planning and sponsoring a challenge yet.

Great! It's always good to have a support group! I'm doing a daily 16:6 or 20:4. A couple of years ago I did a few 5-7 days and a 21 day fast. So, I know I can do it, but I've been dragging my feet, so thanks for the inspiration, friends!

@Erika 21 days?! Wow! You go girl!

I joined a group fast for Advent in Dec. 21, so it was also a spiritual fast. I did lose 21 lbs, but since have gained it back. That's the trick- holding on to the losses. My challenge is that I've been drifting up and down in those 21 lbs for two years! Now I'm hoping to bust through to a lower plateau.
