Look at the bigger picture. Still over a 4 lb loss. Maybe it's just the replenishment of muscle. 

Seven for the month, and the month's not over. I'm not complaining. 

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT! YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!! 🙂 

Thanks Zenus. I won't deny the bounce is a bit discouraging, but you can't be empty all the time! 

EXACTLY!!! The idea of autrophagy is to tear down the old & rebuild with new. You're probably just doing some rebuilding. It just may be a good thing! 😉 

Good job! 

Thank you for your support, my friends! 

You have been working hard outside, you had a huge boost of Growth hormone and when you refeed you added carbs back in so your glucose was replenished. For every gram of glucose you retain 2 grams of water. It's just water replacement and retention and possibly some muscle growth from the all over body workout that is done when you prune and clear an entire yard.  

I am 65 hours fasted and have not recovered my 182h fast weight. I break fast tomorrow and I don't think I'll have a net loss this time. Refeed gain was 2.8#. Have lost 0.8# of that. It is what it is. 

@LadyD I am at 34 hours fasted, I will know how I am doing Sunday morning and I have no idea.....😝 

I broke my fast at 1:00 today, 65 1/2 hours. I wanted to get in a little something other than BBB&E before the challenge tomorrow.  

Go you guys! Have a great time on the challenge, I'll be rooting for you! I need another note to self, don't post on day two of a fast, apparently I'm irritable!!  

Cheers to this week's faster! You rock! 

@Lady... No worries! You're doing great! I didn't lose as much as usual on my last 72 hour fast either. I guess every fast is different.  

@Deb... Thanks alot! 🙂 ...and about that note, my son tells me to go touch grass. 😆 

LOL! I touched plenty of grass yesterday, and dirt. My new puppy decided to dig a trench under the house, I got ready for my walk and when I saw the destruction I had to go find a shovel and rake and fill it all back in. Took about an hour for me to move all the dirt she displaced. I'm guessing it did not take her 20 minutes to sling that much dirt. Bless her, she was right there next to me while I was shoveling and raking and telling her in a friendly conversational tone what a pain in the ass she is! 

She was just trying to make sure you got in some exercise. She's looking after you! 

Ya think???? LOL, just playing fetch and tug of war with her is a workout! We bought her toys, big heavy rope and giant tennis balls, she has now chewed all of them to pieces. I'm hoping she grows out of this chewing things. She no longer does it in the house. She is copying the other dogs with in house behavior, but outside!! Whew, we have no cushions left on our outdoor furniture. We are teaching her the Leave it command but you have to catch her in the act and she is sneaky about doing it when our back is turned doing other things......I adore her, but she is a pain right now!! 

Awwww... I 💜 animals of all sorts! What a workout, but puppies are the best! I have a Siberian Husky (over 13% wolf) that just turned a year old. He is my heart! We howl, "I wuvvvvv woooo..." to each other. 🫠 

@Zen, MissyFluffyButt is a herd-guardian dog and from what I have read about them they are wired a little different from other dogs, so I have to approach her pack skills and training with a whole new set of tools
