Making it past 7 days

Okay I need to do a 30 day fast to get 15 or more lbs off of the 45 I have to lose. My life depends on this because if I can't get back to my lowest weight I don't want to be alive being fat is too terrible. I just broke on day 6....im spiraling. It was under 200 cal and half of it came back up just cause I was so mortified that I ate but how do you make it past that hump? I'm walking a half marathon every day too to ensure I hit my goal and im not used to feeling hunger. I move into my own place in three days where I'm planning on just not buying food (currently in transitional living where these pigs keep everything around) but other than that like what helps when the hunger gets actually painful? I'm not used to feeling it at all even when I've made it 7 days and just break it to have a salad with my mom but I've also never exercised this much in my life and im scared that 170 calories made me gain 3lbs honestly lol

Fast

I’ve been fasting for 4 days now and I’ve only lost 8 pounds why is it taking so long to loose weight because I’ve did this before and lost way more

Water fast weight loss

how much weight should one approximately ideally lose while on water fast? like obviously it’s different for each person but like still, an idea. as far as i have seen in all these posts on water fasting, all videos, they at least lose around half of the weight of the num of days they are fasting for. for example if one fasts for 7 days, he loses around 4kgs, if fasts for 14 days, loses around 7ish kgs.

When should I stop?

I’ve read that many people do extended water fasts while taking electrolytes, potassium, and magnesium, but I don’t have any of those. I’m currently on day 6 of a water fast and I’ve already lost 13 lbs.

I don’t want to get seriously ill or die, so I’d like to know what signs or symptoms the body gives you when it’s time to stop. A couple of years ago, I did a 7-day water fast without any problems, and my goal this time was to make it at least 14 days. However, I’m feeling pretty fatigued and weak this time.

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences, especially regarding warning signs that mean I should stop.

Taking my life back in control

I have been researching and finally taking leap of faith. I am planning to start a 40 day water only fast. I am severely obese with around 37-38 BMI and hence have enough fast reserves. I have a bottle of fasting salts from Amazon. Any tips, guidance is welcomed. Also I am going to post update every 4 days with progress pictures, weight measurements and how I feel. Guys please can I get some support I really want to achieve this!!

Trying my first 7 days water fast

The most I've ever fasted was around 60 hours. I've wanted to try a 7 day water fast for so long and I'm finally ready for it. The only thing i'm allowing is tea (without added sugar) and water.
My stats are 1m63 (5'4), 23 yo and 68 kgs (150 lbs).
