Successful Day 1

[islesgirl]

Got through the day yesterday drinking water only and I was able to go for a walk and my weight isn't up after the past week's junk food.:D I've already had my walk this morning as I'll be busy throughout the day and won't be able to do it later. Finally I got to the part in StarFire's journal about "coconut oil" helping her weight loss. Do you think that I could still take it while I'm doing the water fast? Have a happy day everyone.:)

Hey there islegirl!! interesting thought... I've been wondering the same thing too... I've stopped taking the coconut oil while I'm fasting cuz I wasn't sure if it would help or hinder.... it would be great if someone could give us an intelligent answer on this question!!

hmmmm... Ive got ...let's see... 18 days left of my fast... I'll do an experiment. When I have 14 days left -- I'll start taking the coconut oil again and see what happens and how I feel. so I'll start doing that on this coming Sunday... http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s43/FireStar_830/muahaha.gif ... I love to experiment!!!

oh this is sooo exciting!!!

Sounds like a good plan Star. You are so cute. I love your funny little people pics. I am so glad I just checked out this older post of mine and found your comment on coconut oil. I've been taking it. I could have sworn last night that my lips were quite firm when I put my lipstick on??!! Couldn't be, could it? I can't wait to get back to eating again - RAW! I just love it and fasting makes me appreciate it even more. But my weight is going down and that is sooooooo encouraging. But I think I like the feeling I get from raw food much better even though I don't feel sick or anything today. We'll compare notes on the coconut oil. For what it is worth I lost 3 lbs yesterday and despite my major detour last week into SAD I didn't gain any of the 4 lbs. I lost previously. Yippee!
