• 

• Chrystal 39 years old Female, weighing 92 kg / 202.4 lbs, 69 in /175.26 cm tall, None. From Draper, United States

• Doing 20 days of Water Fasting. Starting November 6, 2010

• Reasons for Fasting:
  I am doing a fast to loose weight and get my binging in control. I am also hoping that the weight loss will help me get rid of some of the medication that I am on for insomnia and bi-polar disorder.

• Past Fasting Experience:
  I don't have a prior experience with fasting, have done lots of research on it and feel that it is a good option for me.

• Present Diet:
  always dieting with bouts of binging on "bad days".

• Relevant Medical History:
  I have been an insomniac for almost 20 years. I have also been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder about 5 years ago.

• Present Medical Problems:
  Still struggling with the insomnia and medicated for the bi-polar disorder. Currently taking 5 different medications and would love to get it down to 1.

• State of Mind:
  I am hopeful.

• Limitations:
  I have recently started going to the gym which will require some alteration to a pure water fast. I have included vitamin water, electrolytes and V8 juice to replenish and support my new workout program.
