I started a fast a couple of weeks ago and managed to stay on it for 5 days and I lost 9 pounds. I’m 5’4″ and started at 174 pounds so we are about the same size. I went on vacation and much to my dismay wasn’t able to stay on the fast, too much pressure from my husband and friends that went with us, but really the cold hard fact is that it was my choice to cave under pressure.

You will lose the most weight the first few days and then it will level off to about a pound a day. Don’t make the mistake I made and start eating everything in site when you come off your fast because you will (like I did) gain fast and weigh even more than when you started!

So, in answer to your question, I think that you should lose at least 30 pounds or more if you stay on your fast for 35 days, but everyone is different. Just going by the posts I have read that seems to be what happens.
