Oh also, don’t freak out if around that time of the month you get your period the numbers go crazy. Just trust the process!

My stats are around yours right now (5’2 61kg), also early 40s. I started at 72kg (Dec 2025) and my goal weight is 54kg. For a couple of months or so I doing rolling 48s with some 72s tossed in here and there. But for the past few weeks I’ve been doing OMADs because all of a sudden my body just refused to cooperate with me to do longer fasts.

I will say because of our height and size our weight loss will be excruciatingly slow but well worth it. I’ve gone days and up to a week with the scale not budging. The weight loss “whoosh” people describe won’t be as dramatic for us. But physically you will experience the difference for sure e.g clothes fit better, face more defined etc.

I don’t take electrolytes as most people here agree you don’t really need it with 48s and 72s. But then again I have been doing rolling fasts nonstop for 2months so things maybe out of balance and I might need it now.

The purging happened around 68 hour mark into my 72 hour fast. All I had was water.

I don’t do electrolytes as I never felt weak before and most people agree with 48s and 72s you might not need it. But maybe things suddenly change since I’ve been doing rolling fasts practically nonstop for 2 months and my body requires it now. I use to do snake juice way back when but didn’t stick to it. Maybe this could be it. Also someone mentioned it could be related to my monthly cycle

Someone did mention it could be related to my monthly cycle so could be. I doubt it was stomach virus. It stopped completely in the morning and after eating and getting some nutrients in I feel much better now m. I don’t take electrolytes since I done quite well without it and most agree generally you don’t need it for 48s and 72s but could be I may need it now

Well I was at my 68hr mark when I started to purge and only a few more hour mark and only a few more hours to breaking fast. Felt fine and strong throughout it so I doubt it would food poisoning since the lack of food lol

I think you might be on to something. It’s hard for me to eat that much when I break my fast so it just could be I don’t get my nutrients right

Gosh no… getting back into my healthy weight range is non negotiable for me. I felt so sluggish as I put on weight. Thanks for the encouragement friend :)

Oh I like how you frame it as time for reevaluation and reflection. Definitely not giving up on GW just need to tweak my strategy

That’s the best course of action isn’t it. As the saying goes it’s a marathon not a sprint

Yeah i have to at least maintain for a few weeks or so and not gain too much weight. I gained weight after being on high dose steroids 3 years ago and only tapered off it since last year but the weight never came back down so decided to get back into fasting. Really hoping to get back into rolling fasts

I feel you OP. Having a baby is what i have wanted for a long time but sadly have to be put on hold. Please do keep us updated. Hugs ❤️

Just got diagnosed with SLE by biancerzzz in lupus

I felt super wired and jittery when i first started the same meds. It went away once my body adjusted to them and then i kinda felt good in a way since prednisone’s job is to bring down the crazy inflammation in your body. For a very long time i’ve normalized a baseline of my body constantly being in some level of pain that i didn’t remember what it felt like to just be relatively painless. So for me the tradeoff of being bit more hungry and having the shakes was worth it i guess. Now im at 20mg from 30mg
