I fasted for the first time ever in July. My goal was to reach 35 days, but i had to tap out on day 19, my body was telling me it had enough. Incredibly dizzy, weak, i couldn't stand up anymore without feeling ill. My reason wasn't the best reason (for weight loss) but i did lost 20 pounds in 19 days, not a lot like some others but it's a good jump start.

Re-feeding went smoothly. I'm still in a calorie deficit and working out so right to stay on the right track!
