COLLEGE STATION, Texas Johnny Manziel's NFL pro day had a former president, lots of swag, a Drake soundtrack and even some football, too.
The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner threw for 75 officials from 30 teams on the Texas A&M campus on Thursday.
He also had some special guests, as the former president and wife Barbara – and her two dogs – rolled into the facility on golf carts about 10 minutes into the workout.
The always flashy Manziel was true to his over-the-top Johnny Football persona on Thursday, trotting into the facility with his receivers as a tune by his buddy Drake blasted through the building. He wore camouflage shorts, a black Nike jersey with his white No. 2 and caused a stir by wearing shoulder pads and a helmet.
Manziel didn't understand why it was a big deal.
"You play the game on shoulder pads on Sundays," he said. "Why not come out and do it? … For me it was a no-brainer."
Manziel threw about 65 passes to six receivers, including A&M teammate Mike Evans, who like Manziel is expected to be a first round pick in May's draft. Only two passes weren't caught and Evans grabbed a third long pass out of bounds.
"I felt like it was good," Manziel said. "(I) was obviously going for perfection. So had a couple balls hit the ground. One was on me. One was a little bit high. I could've got it down for him a little bit."
Quarterback guru George Whitfield ran the workout. Manziel has worked with Whitfield throughout his career and has spent a big chunk of the past 2 1/2 months working with him in California. Whitfield raved about his competitiveness.
"This wasn't just merely a set of routes that he was just going to go through and throw," Whitfield said. "It just feels like … life is riding on every pass with him."
Eight NFL general managers and eight coaches were among the group, including Texans' general manager Rick Smith and coach Bill O'Brien. Houston has the top overall pick in the draft. Smith and O'Brien liked what they saw from Manziel, but both cautioned that this is just one step in a long process.
"He made the throws that you look for and that you wanted to see so it was good," Smith said. "It's just a part of it and it was impressive."
Manziel, who started at A&M for two seasons, planned to meet with several teams on Thursday afternoon after the workout.
Several coaches were impressed that Manziel called all the NFL officials onto the field at the end of his workout to personally thank them for coming.
"College Station's a little bit of a tricky spot to get to," he said. "For me to call those guys up, just wanted to speak on my behalf as well as the six guys behind me and thank them for coming out."
Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith, who grew up in Big Sandy, Texas, enjoyed seeing Bush at the event.
"That's a first, a workout with an ex-President," Smith said. "But they do things a little differently in Texas, which is a good thing, me being a Texan."
Bush sat in his golf cart during the event and posed for pictures with dozens of people afterward. But Secret Service agents shooed away reporters looking to talk to the 41st President.
Manziel said he didn't notice when Bush came in.
"I was trying to go 65 for 65," he said.
Several more Drake songs played after his introductory one and he looked loose during the workout, at times bobbing his head, covered in the matte black helmet, to the beats. There was a brief hitch in the playlist, though. When he began the workout the explicit and expletive-laden versions of the songs were played. When Bush, 89, entered the building, the soundtrack quickly switched to an edited version of the same songs.
Manziel worked under center, making throws of all distances, on the run and in the pocket. Whitfield added some challenges to the workout, waving a broom and chasing him with it on several throws.
"We wanted to show that we didn't have anything to hide, that we could come out here and go through our seven-step footwork and go through all the footwork that we thought that these guys want to see," Manziel said.
He finished the day with a long completion to Evans and yelled 'Boom!' and the assembled crowd broke into applause.
Whitfield was pleased with how the day went and thinks Manziel has improved since the end of the season.
"He learned how big of a jump it is to go from playing on Saturdays to playing on Sundays and it's a grueling process," Whitfield said. "Secondly he's come an awfully long way in his body. He's an awful lot stronger. He's put in his work."

text: 4 Great game, but could be so much better.Placeholder85 | 05/05/2012 | See all Placeholder85's reviews (12)I've found with this game that.. The Graphics and scenery on this game are excellent, the "Killcam" when you kill an enemy by hitting one of their vital organs or certain parts of their bones is amazing, literally so awesome to see. Missions are very fun. But, i've found that.. playing on hard mode, or well all modes I suppose is that.. Say you're on the top of a building and you shoot at soldier 300m away and kill him with other soldiers around him; they instantly know EXACTLY where you are and hit you instantaneously. I mean come on? In real life yes, they'd know where around you were most likely from perception of sound, knowing where abouts the shot came from. But they wouldn't be able to pin point you exactly. Especially if say you're hiding behind a chimney or something.. I think that's the only real big downfall of the game, if they could bring a patch out for that, make them more human it would make the game one of the best FPS shooters of all time. It is REALLY good.. So give it a try :).

HOYLAKE, England—Play was called off for the day at the Womens British Open on Friday because of strong wind that disrupted the second round so badly that organizers declared early scores "null and void. Aldon Smith Black Jersey ." With wind gusting to 60 mph at Royal Liverpool, players struggled to keep the ball on the tees and greens. Play was suspended at 8:25 a.m. with 36 players on the course and the round was called off at 2 p.m. "I think its only the right thing to do," Norwegian star Suzann Pettersen said. "The conditions were unreasonable. ... I dont think from the players perspective that there was any other outcome. It wasnt just unfair conditions. It was unplayable. " Englands Felicity Johnson started with a quintuple-bogey 9. American Cristie Kerrs ball blew off the 12th tee three times. Co-leader So Yeon Ryu bogeyed her only hole, the 10th, before play was stopped. "It would have been unfair to those competitors not to declare play null and void and cancel all scores for the round in question," Ladies Golf Union tournament director Susan Simpson said. "The competitors began their round in extremely adverse weather conditions and conditions subsequently worsened despite our belief that they would remain stable." The second round is scheduled to restart early Saturday, with conditions forecast to be more playable. Organizers said the cut will be reduced from 65 and ties to 50 and ties. The final two rounds are set for Sunday with a two-tee start and no redraw between rounds. Michelle Wie, one of the tallest players in the field, saw a lighter side. "I think its one day thats really good to be short, because I felt like a flagpole out there," she said. With strong wind forecast for Monday, officials hope the tournament will not extend to a fifth day. Ryu and fellow South Korean player Haeji Kang topped the leaderboard at 2-under 70. Australias Karrie Webb, the tournament winner in 1995, 1997 and 2002, was a stroke back along with 16-year-old English amateur Charley Hull, Jiyai Shin, Ai Miyazato, Mika Miyazato, Stacey Keating, Lydia Hall, Vicky Hurst and Kate Kutcher. Two-time defending champion Yani Tseng opened with a 72. New Zealands Lydia Ko, the 15-year-old amateur coming off a victory three weeks ago in the Canadian Womens Open, also was at 72. Wie had a 75 in the first round in relatively calm conditions, and Pettersen shot a 76. "It was a long day for sure and waiting," Wie said. "Came to the course at 5 a.m. It was dark at that point and I was walking past the third hole and it was raining sideways. Ive never seen conditions like that in my life. Got there, stopped raining, but the wind kept blowing and blowing and kept getting worse. "It was hard to tell at the first tee because it was sheltered with a tent a little bit. But once we got out there, 11, 12, it was pretty bad." Englands Karen Stupples, the 2004 winner at Sunningdale, teed off in the first group at 7 a.m. after shooting a 76 on Thursday. "On the third, my ball started oscillating and it wouldnt stop," Stupples said. "It just sat there and just kept moving and I had to call for an official to come and figure out what the ruling was with that, and she said, Hit it. Even if its oscillating, you can hit it. Im like, Really? "Its quite disconcerting, because how do you hit a moving ball? Because it can wobble a little bit, and you catch it not quite where you used to. I dont know, it can affect everything, and it did. I made double bogey there. Ive seen balls roll because of a wind gust, but not a continual just blowing constant. That was just brutal."

Reed named veteran Kerry Joseph his starting quarterback ahead of Matt Nichols for when the Eskimos meet the Argonauts in Sundays CFL Eastern semifinal in Toronto.CHICAGO —Mike Fiers tossed 7 1-3 solid innings to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 win over the Cubs on Wednesday night, their eighth straight victory against Chicago. Fiers (8-6) held the Cubs to four hits and struck out six, helping Milwaukee beat its division rival for the 13th time in 16 games this season. The Brewers have won eight of their last nine overall and moved within five games of .500 for the first time since July 21. Fiers sent down 14 straight batters at one point and won his second straight start, but Milwaukees streak of eight straight games with at least 10 strikeouts came to an end. It was the longest such streak since 1900. John Axford finished up for his 22nd save in 30 chances. Jeff Samardzija (8-12) gave up seven hits and three runs—two earned—in seven innings for the Cubs. He struck out 10 for his third double-digit strikeout game of the season. Jean Segura stroked a go-ahead single in the seventh and scored an insurance run when Chicago committed two errors after Seguras steal of second base. Norichika Aoki and Ryan Braun had two hits apiece for Milwaukee. Bryan LaHair singled and scored on Darwin Barneys fielders choice in the second for the Cubs only run. Chicago has dropped 22 of 28 and has scored two runs or less 11 times in August. Samardzija has received two runs or fewer of support while on the mound in nine of his last 10 starts, but has lasted at least seven innings in eight of those outings. The bumbling Cubs fell to 31 games under .500, their worst mark since Sept. 30, 2006, and looked the part during Milwaukees two-run rally in the seventh tthat was aided by three errors. Dwight Clark Jersey. Nyjer Morgan reached on a bunt single and went to second when Samardzijas throw sailed up the right field line. He went to third when Samardzija uncorked a wild pitch, and scored on Seguras solid single to left. Segura stole second and dashed for third when Welington Castillos throw bounced past Starlin Castro. Barney backed up the play and threw to third, but Luis Valbuena missed the ball, allowing Segura to score. Barney was initially charged with the second error on the play, but after the inning the official scorer gave the miscue to Valbuena. That allowed Barney to extend his streak of consecutive errorless games at second base to 114 games, breaking the National League record of 113 games set by San Diegos David Eckstein in 2010. The major league record is 141 games, established by Detroits Placido Polanco in 2007. NOTES: The Cubs named Brandon Hyde the clubs director of player development, promoting him from his role as minor league field co-ordinator. Hyde, 38, joined the Cubs during the off-season after spending nine years in the Marlins organization. He will assume the duties of former vice-president of player development Oneri Fleita, who was fired on Aug. 15. ... Former Cubs reliever Scott Maine was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. Maine was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Monday. ... LaHair entered the game hitting just .164 (12 for 73) since making the NL All-Star team for the first time. LaHair had a streak of reaching base 32 straight games from April 8 to May 15 earlier this season. ' ' '

Working in Hong Kong
Although its return to Chinese sovereignty over a decade ago led to more jobs being localised, with mainland Chinese allowed to work in the region as well, there are still opportunities for expatriates. This is especially true for expats working in banking and finance, highly skilled expats, those who wish to teach English in Hong Kong and volunteers. Degrees from American and British universities are also still highly respected by the local population, and working in the Fragrant Harbour is generally thought to be a positive career move.
According to the 2012 HSBC Expat Explorer report, in fact, 70 percent of expats move there for job opportunities, and 73 percent report that they earn more money after moving to Hong Kong. As many as 55 percent of expats earn more than 150,000 USD a year, and 90 percent of expats are positive about the state of the Hong Kong economy.
That said, it's important to recognise that the cost of living in Hong Kong is extremely high. Accommodation in Hong Kong is consistently recognised as being among the most expensive in the world, while the vast majority of expats pay more for healthcare in Hong Kong than they did at home. Education, for those with kids, is also costly but the region is ranked by HSBC as the safest place in the world for raising children.
Immigration procedures are also fairly tedious. To get a work permit, expats will need to find an employer sponsor, meaning that they'll need a solid a job offer beforehand. The Immigration Department also needs to be convinced that the applicant will contribute to the Hong Kong economy in a way that a local could not.
It is clear then, that expats accepting a job in Hong Kong should do their research before negotiating a contract, in order to secure a high enough salary to support themselves and their family.
Job market in Hong Kong
While most expats still work in the financial sector, more are being employed in other, developing areas of business such as management and IT. With one of the largest concentrations of corporate headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region, however, there's plenty of space for expats to find a niche.
Having some knowledge of Mandarin or Cantonese will be beneficial to expat job applicants, but there are industries which often don't require a Chinese language. This is especially true for transnational companies. Expats from industries in which skills are in short supply such as IT, digital advertising, HR and the legal sphere will also have an added advantage. Investment banks, in particular, continue to entice many abroad, although lucrative expat packages are becoming increasingly rare aside from those employed to senior positions.
That said, however, since people from mainland China are able to compete for jobs that previously enticed mostly Western expats, language skills have continued to become more important, especially if new arrivals want to successfully integrate into local society.
Westerners working in Hong Kong will probably experience some degree of culture shock. For starters, the working week is much longer than they may be used to – it isn't unusual for this to run above 50 hours. The "work hard, play hard" ethos is a hallmark of the Chinese special administrative region.
It is also important to be aware of the finer intricacies of doing business. For example, giving and receiving business cards with both hands is important and bosses should always foot the bill for their staff during social occasions.
Finding a job in Hong Kong
Many expats move to Hong Kong with a job contract already in place. The largest and most reputable companies tend to headhunt employees, and lure them abroad with high salaries and the promise of luxury living.
That said, even for those who aren't one of the lucky international candidates to be recruited in advance, there's an assortment of avenues that can lead to a well-landed job. There are many recruitment companies, and online job portals are also in no short supply. The Standard, the Hong Kong's largest English newspaper, also has a designated careers section. Finally, companies tend to advertise positions directly on their websites. By consulting a few targeted organisations regularly, opportunities for application won't be too difficult to find.

I'm trying to setup a store.load listener once, but there is no convenient way to determine if a store listener is already set.
I've experimented with a few approaches and none seem to work.
store.on({'load': ...
store.getListeners() - returns null
store.setListeners({'load': ...
store.getListeners() - returns null
The getListeners probably works if you specify a listener in the Ext.Container config, but this is not very flexible and doesn't seem appropriate for the MVC model.
If this is the correct getListeners behavior, please let me know the best way to determine if a listener, specified with store.on(), is set.

Thanks for the report. Here is the test case:
var store = new Ext.data.Store({ fields : ['test'] }); console.log(store.getListeners()); store.on('load', Ext.emptyFn); console.log(store.getListeners()); store.setListeners({ load : Ext.emptyFn }); console.log(store.getListeners());Mitchell Simoens @SenchaMitch

Thought that this great Fire Prevention idea would interest you.
We will have Power Failures â People will Burn Candles       I am the first to agree that flashlights and light sticks are the preferred form of emergency lighting. The difficulty with most homes and emergency kits is their ability to provide lighting on a long term basis -24/48/72 hours or 10 days. This is why Kevinâs Kandles are an ideal tool for emergency and disaster preparedness.            - 15,000+ accidental candle fires are reported in the USA each year. Kevin's Kandles greatly reduce this risk for your family and your community. They help eliminate the "Stupid Factor" when people run out of batteries during extended power failures and "get creative" with their illumination. In North America, 4% of residential fires are candle related. A majority of the deaths and injuries occur during power failures and in houses where the electricity has been disconnected.    - Again, this is why Kevinâs Kandles are such a great tool for Emergency and Disaster Preparedness. They are Much Safer than traditional candles, Convenient, Inexpensive and Environmentally Friendly. If a Kevin's Kandle is left unattended - it will go out; if it is tipped over - it will go out!-Each pack of Kevin's Kandles manufactured in the USA, contains 100 - 10 hour candles. A carton measures 15 x 15 x 20â, weighs 25 pounds and contains 500 packs of Kevinâs Kandles. Thatâs a potential of 50,000 - 10 hour candles!

Sharing the fries was a mistake.
The 686 Men's Momentum Pipe Glove is ready to take as much vert as you can handle. Pre-curved fingers make doing the pistol grip pump a breeze. An Infidry-8™ insert keeps your digits dry. The synthetic suede palm is coated with a silicone print to make grabs grabable. (Or to give you an advantage when you're arm wrestling for the last French fry). These gloves will practically pay for themselves in benefits.

If you haven't made any plans for the summer yet, then take a quick look at this lomograph to get yourself moving!
This beach in Napoli, Italy is sure a fine place to lay down and enjoy the sun and avid lomographer atria007 just provided us such a great preview with this lomograph! Vibrant layers of different shades of blue plus that subtle vignetting made this beach a real paradise for any snappers!

I was treated good by all airline personnel it is just that we have the extra travel in the wrong direction and a fairly long layover in Phoenix on the return flight. The plane was full on all the long flights between Phoenix and Memphis with such a small plane it was uncomfortable.

text: The Prime Minister's Office issued a rare "clarification" Wednesday that, in gentle diplomatic terms, contradicted US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's statement in Damascus that she had brought a message from Israel about a willingness to engage in peace talks. According to the statement, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert emphasized in his meeting with Pelosi on Sunday that "although Israel is interested in peace with Syria, that country continues to be part of the Axis of Evil and a force that encourages terror in the entire Middle East." Pelosi tells Assad: Israel ready to talk Olmert, the statement clarified, told Pelosi that Syria's sincerity about a genuine peace with Israel would be judged by its willingness to "cease its support of terror, cease its sponsoring of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations, refrain from providing weapons to Hizbullah and bringing about the destabilizing of Lebanon, cease its support of terror in Iraq, and relinquish the strategic ties it is building with the extremist regime in Iran." The statement said Olmert had not communicated to Pelosi any change in Israeli policy on Damascus. .... more: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1173879247562&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull

Hi all,
I haven't disappeared. I'm just hiding in shame : )
The day before I decided to start my fast I totally cheated after being on induction for about 2 months. I had full blown, full carb ice cream and it was GOOOOD. Not so good aftewards with all the trouble it caused me. I felt like those crazies who eat a whole bag of chips and sour cream before the day of their intended diet. I used to laugh at those people.... : (
Anyway I found myself in an awful state the next day with the insulin spike and then my all time sugar LOW and I nearly passed out from it. I've decided to use this week to eat extreamely clean and be faithful to some good hard exercise to get back into ketosis and start my water fast the coming weekend. Who's with me?

Day 8
Well like y'all says... the energy comes & goes- and one should definitely listen to their body! Today was a good day- normal in every way...
I've been out and about running errands and feel fine... I did read in one of the links about this- it said that you should really not work while fasting- should really focus on resting- and let your energy do it's work.... Hmmmm, maybe this I should have read before I put in over 60 hours last week... needless to say, I'm past that- have a relaxed week schedule- and tend to do as little as possible to really tend to my body.
As for positive/negative thoughts pertaining to the fast- mine all are positive- as I see such great benefit from this. I even found an article that mentions possible higher success for pregnancy (as I have been ttc for years now) in sterile/ or trying women! sooo what hope I have.
I'm also rethinking each food that I plan to put into my body from this point on... I plan to avoid dairy products, artificial sweetners and the likes. I want to go organic & whole food wise this go around... heck, this is the only body I gots, so I want to treat it well
I still find it totally awesome that a person can go this long without food... I never imagined myself going 8 days!-
I can't begin to thank you all for the info- the enlightment that you've all provided for me in this journey!

Going into day 3 for me, ketosis hit, I can tell by the way I feel. Energy level is pretty good, have some down times, like now. Experiencing some leg cramps also. I'm not too bad on the hunger scale, it comes and goes. My mind is the biggest enemy when it comes to what and when to eat. It'll be good to start over and have that habit broken. I'll just have to make sure not to take it up again. For now, it hasn't been broken because I'm wanting all my weaknesses. I'm drinking lots of water to flush out toxins. Over 100 ounces at least. I look forward to bedtime, I'm tired from yardwork today. Hope everyone is doing great, keep up the good work!

Hi Everyone, Started my fast today. ( I did a three day fast a couple weeks ago.) I feel really good today. I did take a couple pain killers and drank a diet coke. TOM is on his way. I am doing the fast to lose weight. But the detox will be good also. Need to work on drinking more water. I plan on fasting for at least two weeks. Right now will just try to make it one week.
Ohsque... You are doing so good. I keep looking at how much weight you have lost. How long do you plan to fast?
Keep fasting everyone.

Hello! Just checking in. 1 day down officially Really no cravings except for when I threw something away in the garbage and I saw a slim jim wrapper and I thought 'yum, i could go for one of those' and then I remembered I was fasting. No big deal.
I have a question, when coming off the fast, is it better to have veggie broth or chicken broth? Is the canned chicken broth okay or should I make the broth myself? I don't actually buy the canned stuff but some in a foil lined box that has far less sodium then the canned stuff. I get it at Trader Joe's.
Ohsque, I keep looking at your stats too and practically drooling at your loss thus far. Particularly since we're both about the same starting weight. Here's to hoping for some very similar success!
(231 ->>>168.4>>> 131)
62.6 down, 37.4 to go
Original Stats (6/9/03): 275/147 (128lbs lost)
Hey guys! Sorry I haven't checked in this week. I am fasting this eveing until Thursday at noon. Inormally do sun-tues. but this week I switched due to the holiday. I will let y'all know how I feel tomorrow. Sounds like everyone is doing great! Good luck and see you tomorrow. I have a feeling I am going to be hungry. O think I overate (legal, but still overate) this weekend at picnics etc. so although i am in ketosis, i think I stretched my stmach out with double cheeseburgers and it is going to be crying tomorrow around noon! Oh well, that'll teach me!!!

Like GwnStfni, I'm wondering about the broth...plus, I read in one of the fasting links that we should start with juices?!?! I don't want to do the juice-
I just have several cans of chicken & beef broth from the local store- thought it'd be ok... didn't think about the sodium part
GwnStfni....Thanks for your words...and yes, I am amazed at my loss as well, DH says he can *see* the difference, but I tried on some clothes today- and they didn't fit like I thought they should at this weight.... soooo, I'm not necessary losing inches....
Oh, I'm like you too, I see some kind of food and think "ooo that is what I need!" then remember-... I'm fasting! Today, I drove threw a drive in at McD's to get my DS a milkshake (he's having braces put on ) and saw their salads... OMG... I could really go for one of those... I gotta remember about them salads when I go off the fast & start low carbing again!
Rolleen ...as for your question- how long do I plan to do this, well, right now, I'm taking it day by day... I sorta want to go til I hit 190- then when/if I gain back those water pounds, I will still be close to 200! I know, shallow reason...but right now, I'm feeling fine most of the time and enjoying my self enpowerment over food. I'm gaining a new frame of thinking pertaining to food, so hopefully I will be able to manage/control what I eat after I break fast! Good Luck to yoU!

Oh all this talk about chicken broth is making me hungry! Ohsque, in your opinion, what was the hardest day for you to get through? Day 1 has really been a breeze. I mean I'm starting to get a tad bit hungry but it really is just me thinking it's time to eat so I'm like making myself hungry unnecessarily.
I feel that if I can get past 4 days then I'll probably be good to go for 7-10 days or maybe more? Like you, I'd like to get into ONEderland. I feel very strong and like I have a ton of willpower. Been doing Atkins induction level for exactly 12wks and 1 day without a single cheat so I see no reason why the fast won't be any different.
I hope you other fasters start checking in more often b/c come day 2 & 3 I'm going to need the extra support!!

ohsque - your loss is amazing! I had lost 18 or 19 by day 12 or 13 (I can't remember for sure and I'm too lazy to scroll back a few pages). I have gained back all but 10 of what I lost. It's weird, because I am retaining water big time right now and I'm not sure why. Hopefully some of it will drop off over the next couple of days (I've decided to fast through the weekend).
When I started eating again, I jumped in with a salad and had no problems, but everyone is different so take it easy!
Congrats and Good Luck with your amazing loss!
If it was "the easy way", everyone would do it.

Hi fasters! Congrats to all of you who are choosing to fast for yourself. (Well, that sounds funny...one can't exactly fast for someone else).
When any of you really want to eat (mentally not physically) I found it was always helpful to come to the board and read this thread.....takes the mind off of food, and on to detoxing.
Stay positive!!!!!!!
I think the only down side I have from fasting is the extra skin...I even have on the back of my neck, and on my forearms. It is weird. I have read tho...that it takes as much as a year or two to 'tighten' up. That is the biggest downside from both Atkins and fasting. The up side is that I am healthier and thinner than I have been in years.
Rock on!!!!!

GwnStfni...BY FARRRR the worst of the days was on Day 2 for me. I had a migrane like horrible, terrible headache- and I was at work, with no way to go home and crawl into bed... It must have been the caffeine (big coffee drinker here!) and the carbs withdrawel.... I wasn't hungry at all that day- was feeling too sick for that! But luckily I made it through
AllisonB ....thanks for your words! I'm totally amazed as well... I'm wondering do you think that the average gain after a fast is usuallly 10ish pounds? or is it a percentage of what you've lost? I'm expecting a gain of 8-10 pounds no matter what- so I don't want to set myself up for a downfall afterwards! Oh well, I'll take any loss that is there- but mostly glad that I think I am gonna be able to control what I eat and stick to plan better..heck, I was yo-yoing for months, and needed this badly!
Onward to day 9 for me

Day 3 has been going well for me, I can't believe my will power. When low carbing, it was so easy for me to give in and cheat. Food is around alot with the kids and I haven't touched any. My left leg has been hurting and I've been tired but that's about it, I feel good this morning. Mentally, I feel great. I dropped another 2 pounds bringing me to 11 total so far.

Good Morning Fasters, Day two for me. Felt really good yesterday. Woke up at 2 in the morning with a really bad headache. Lated a couple hours. Tom is on its way. That might have something to do with the headache. Down 3 pounds this morning. I am doing this fast for weight loss. I can't believe how much better you feel after not eating carbs for a day. I feel really rested and alert. Hope everyone has a great day.
Good mornin' fasters.
I am on my 36 hour fast today. With TOM on the way it is harder than usual. I don't know what it is but a few days before TOM I am constantly hungry. I feel like my stomach is a black hole where I just can't seem to fill up. I am actually glad I am fasting because then the choice to overeat is gone. I am drinking tea today (herbal) and depending on how I feel I may stretch this fast out until TOM comes if only to keep from overindulging and having to deal with uncomfortable bloating on top of the cramps and misery
Ohsuque- Just for reference, I don't think the average is a # of pounds because some people won't even lose ten while on a fast. I think it is a %, but I am not sure what the average would be but in my experience, I gained back about 20% of my loss within a weeks time and then no more (I lost around 11 in 4 days and kept off almost 10). However, I broke my fast slowly, and stayed under 20 carbs when I went back to Atkins. There will be weight gain, but it is manageable to some extent. Also, I do a 36 hour fast weekly which also helps maintain (and add to) that initial fasting loss. Once I hit the 170's (while fasting) I said I would never go back to the 180's again. And through a combination of fasting and Atkins I haven't, and am on my way to the 160's (not sure where I am right now, I refuse to weight right before TOM!). Last stop, 150-ish!

Day 3 ...
Which means I made it through Day 2 ... yeah! I'm still not hungry, just feel so empty! I know that is why I broke my fast the last time, I think it actually scared me, lol!
How is everybody doing?
Virgobaby - are you still running? I ran on the Day 1, but not since, may try a mild jog today.
Girl, I hope you are O.K., give us a shout-out!
Well, nothing interesting to report, no headaches, body aches, my tongue isn't even coated, what's up with that?
Will check in with you all later

My 36 hour fast is over as we speak! I don't know why it was so hard this time. I was so hungry and had a terrible headache.
I had added the apple cider vinegar and I think this may have been the cause.
Do you think it was making my detox heavier? Any thoughts on this?
I'd like to to a 36 hour fast weekly but I don't want to feel THAT bad! heehee..
And GwnStfni when I did my 3 day fast previously the 2nd day was the hardest for me. Ymmv (your mileage may vary)...
Good luck everyone and definitely come here for support!
You made it through, Lori, and that's what counts! I have to say though, this is my 4th 36 hour fast (been doing it for a month after my initial 4 day fast) and it gets easier every time, except this one! I think it's just because of TOM coming so I feel floopy already. But other than that, I think you will have a pretty easy time of it next week (especially if you are in ketosis when you start).
Kose- And if you want my .02 I would definitely talk to your Dr. before starting a 40 day water only fast. That is a long time, and I am not convinced that length of time is necessary or even safe for a good detox. If you are doing it for weight loss, I would consider doing a veggie juice fast in order to keep you regular, get some nutrients and detox a little more gently. You WILL lose weight very quickly even with veggie juice. Suppose you drink 500 cal. of veggie juice per day, you are only losing a pound per week less than on water only but it will be much easier to sustain and in my opinion, much safer and gentler on your body. Water only for 40 days if you have never done a long fast seems unneccesarily harsh and again, IMO, dangerous. If you are hell bent there is little I can say to stop you and I wish you luck. But please make sure you really pay attention to the signals your body is giving you and if it feels "wrong" then break your fast. It isn't a contest and if you don't make the 40 days, you haven't failed. I know what it's like to be desperate to lose weight, but water fasting for 40 days to get the quickest fix is not the best long term solution. Just to add, Kimmer lost 67 pounds on her 45 day fast. She did have a lot to lose. And incidentally, she gained it all back eventually. Since she isn't around, I will tell you what I know of her longer fast. She did not drink water at all, but Diet soda. At the time she did if purely for weightloss, although now (about 20 years later) I do not believe she would suggest a long term water fast for weight loss only, especially without talking to a doctor, but I could be wrong.

Friendly advice. . .take it or leave it
I have been following all the posts; I even did a four day fast, and plan on regular 36 hr. ones. I did this for detox, control on portions, and religious reasons.
That said, I can also tell you I've been low-carbing for more than 3 years. In that time, I have learned to absolutely love low-carb foods; I have also learned I can live without "the white stuff"--indefinitely. I credit Atkins for teaching me these things.
Now to the part I want to phrase very carefully: I see a few folks with very few posts under their names fasting PRIMARILY for weight loss. Assuming can get me in trouble, but SOMETIMES this can mean someone has just started Atkins, or is still learning about it prior to starting it. IF this is the case, I urge you to try the regular Atkins approach before touching the fast. You will lose weight at a generally gratifying rate; you will be in ketosis, with the wonderful appetite suppression that brings, and you will be able to learn to love foods which are good for you.
Fasting is not a quick-fix for weight loss; you WILL gain back some if not all the weight. Very few folks keep it off. Fasting IS a lovely way to re-aquaint yourself with the miraculous machine we live in.
If you are an old hand at Atkins and just have not been on the boards, I am NOT speaking to you. Only to those who haven't given low-carb a chance, and are fasting primarily for weight loss (be honest with yourself--please).
Off the soapbox, and on to the cheering--you folks who are a week or more--your energy and positive message just floods off the page. Wow.

thanks for all your advices.
i know some people may think i'm doing it for weight loss but i'm not. i ain't going entirely for 40 days straight buy i may go for 10 days with a break of 5 days of stillmans in between. and if hunger returns, i will definitely stop fasting and do stillmans with a mix of atkins.

Hi Guys,
Well I stayed the same today (123). I will start my 36 hr fast tonight at 8:00. I am hoping it will be a breeze. I will do my food shopping today so I don't have to deal with food tomorrow.

Day 9
Good Morning, onward to Day 9 for me!
Well, I have energy today- but also have a full 11 hour shift to work at my shop, so we will see how that goes once I get my tail out of this computer chair My mental alertness is very high- I'm getting alot of paperwork done, but the thought of going out in this mississippi heat to work in the yard- well, that don't sound like something I could do today...
I'm down another 1.5 pounds...bringing my total to 22.5. I have noticed that I'm not losing inches - as the last time I was at this weight I could wear certain clothes in my closet, I tried some on yesterday- and no-go there.... I'm not sure where the weight is coming from that I am losing- any thoughts about this ?
for the record I want to state my reasons for fasting....
1.)the detox thing- I'm so curious about this and am looking for *detox* symptoms all the time. I am praying for a pimple! LOL- who would'd thought! LOL but one particular article of the many I've read, show that infertility could be overcome in some women doing a fast- and darnit, I've been trying to concieve on & off for over 12 years- my diagnosis is unexplained..! so naturally I'm looking for a miracle here
My mom, who is fasting with me is about to have knee replacement surgery, and research we have read shows that a fast can help with this in preping your body for the surgery- make it easier on you.
2.) the control over food, the enpowerment I gain while controling what I do/don't put in my mouth. I can't tell you how much more aware I am of the foods around me...and how wonderful aktins approved foods were- makes me wonder why I couldn't stick to plan at all!!!! I have been on aktins for over a year- and for the past 6 months of it, I have found it just too easy for me to cheat one day, aktins the next, cheat, atkins, cheat etc......a terrible cycle that got me nowhere- I am trying to break this cycle.
3.) I will admit, the weight loss is a great bonus to this and I am thrilled to see my scales moving downward- AT last. It is motivating to stick to the fast- and also now, I'm for certain to break the fast by adding liquids for a few days, then some soft veggies/eggs/chicken for a few days- then after a week, I might add a salad- (don't know why, but I think the lettuce would be the hardest on my stomach to digest...). I am wanting to see if there are trigger foods I have and boy, am I set to see some regaining weight, if not all of it back, but I think now, I will be able to stick with the plan and lose the weight for good while eating the right choices.
I do not know when I will break fast, I just want to take it one day at a time.... I think it will be in the next week or so, but we'll see
I just wanted to share...if you read this far... thanks

Hello my fellow fasters
I'm approaching Day 3 as I started the fast mid-day Monday as I thought it would give me the best control over any cravings. So far so good. Little to no cravings, no headaches and the energy is okay. Also there are no hunger pangs and I attribute that to being in heavy ketosis when I first started but we shall see... I went to the gym yesterday but will admit today the energy is a little bit lower. I'll just take it easy today. Had a BM today and wanted to ask ohsque what you're doing about that? If I continue this on for 7+ days I'm sure I'm going to need to do something.
Stats are:
9/1 Day 1: 225
9/2 Day 2: 223
9/3 Day 3: 220
karat, I am glad you said something. I too have noticed a few newbies and wondered whether they had given Atkins a go first.

Day 3.....
Hi Guys - Lots of great posts and advice here since
my last visit at the end of day one!
Feeling good today. The headache finally went away.
Nothing interesting to report - SHS is at 0 right now.
Drinking plenty of water. I keep a glass with me at
all times and sip away.
MsAckwith - I am so glad you are doing well! I also ran
on day one at my normal pace. I cleaned / unpacked
like a crazy woman for like 10 hours yesterday (day 2)
and had plenty of energy. It's funny you asked about
this - I'm sitting here in my running clothes right now
trying to wait out this miserable rain - it just will not
quit here! I have tons of energy - looks like I'll have to
do a step workout inside instead. I intend to do some
kind of physical activity throughout this fast just as I
did on the first one. I am convinced it helped me have
a better experience. Any time I was having the brain
fog or low energy, a walk or slow jogging cleared it
right up - every time! The key is to pay attention to
your body and not push too hard. I was not able to
run the four miles straight during fasting - I would jog
slowly and walk for a bit, then jog again. Let me know
how you do today, and if you feel the exercise helps.
I'm interested because some feel you should just rest
and not exercise during fasting. That just doesn't feel
right for me - like I said - it ALWAYS clears my head and
makes me feel MORE energetic, not less.
Where IS our fair lady Belle?
Have a wonderful day everyone

I don't know why it was so hard. Next week I'll just do pure water. So we'll see. I actually had an easier time with the 3-day fast!
I would recommend anyone interested in fasting to get 'The Miracle of Fasting' by Dr. Bragg. He even says long fasts are not necessarily better (since fasting is accumulative). It's a great read, very upbeat.
Where is our fair lady Belle?? I hope she checks in soon, too.
We miss you Belle! And Kimmer how are you doing? And Island Blue are you ok?

I just wanted to clarify that I've been living the low carb lifestyle for 2 years and have gone down from 215 to 150. I've recently gained and have been stuck at 150 forever because of cheating. Yes you are correct that those with no experience with low carb and looking find a quick weightloss should do atkins, or stillmans for that matter. Again, because I have low post numbers, I want to clarify that I'm knowledgable concerning my body, health, and the lowcarb lifestyle, I've ust beenlurkiing for about a year and finally found reason to post, thanks

justerry, looking at your signup date I doubt anyone would assume you were a newbie Granted I just signed up with this forum a few months ago but I'm no newbie to low-carb. Lost 50lbs on Atkins nearly 4 years ago. I used to post on the low-carb newsgroup before finding this place which I definitely prefer.
virgobaby, I'm glad you mentioned the exercise thing. Like you, I just feel better when working out. If I'm feeling good and full of energy I see no reason why I couldn't exercise. I don't push myself, rather I just go at my own pace. As long as I feel fine on this fast I will continue to exercise.
Check in with you all later!
so am i being flamed?
i don't mean to be rude but from the posts i have seen i feel like omg, everyone is turning on me. i ain't new to lowcarb. i have lost 20 pounds on atkins since the beginning of this year. just because i lurk around reading the posts in this forum doesn't mean that i'm some ignorant person to low carb. and when i found this fasting thread and how beneficial this detox thing and how to gain control over food, i decided to sign up.
Way too much time on my hands!

Day# 3 today and Good Morning!
59 hours and counting
Yesterday I was still hungry. The pangs came and went several more times than day #1. I cook dinner for 6 people at work so yikes! Didn't cave, though. Reason actually took over and said--*You've cone this far, don't blow it now!* Can ya believe it? LOL! I had access to a Glucometer and for the heck of it, I took my blood sugar. It was 74, I like that! Measured only a trace on Ketostix.
This morning I'm in large ketosis (80) Yes! Still have some rumbling in the belly but it's less severe, so far.
I'm drinking green tea, just one or two cups a day, usually at a time when I'd be eating a meal. Other than that, I'm drinking 96 ounces of water give or take a cup.
I'm taking warm baths in the morning as suggested by one of the fasting gurus. I'd forgotten how pleasant and relaxing they can be. I follow up, as suggested, with a cool shower and a brisk toweling off. I've been using my loofa, too. It makes me feel so alive! Really gets the blood circulating!
Last evening, my calf muscles were a little sore. I massaged and elevated them a few times and that took the sensation away.
My tongue is white and I feel a bit lack luster today but not anything bad! It's amazing
Congrats to all of you! Here's to our rejuvenation!
I'm very interested in hearing from the veterans about their attitude toward what they put in their mouths now that they've successfully completed their fasts.
What has changed in how you view food? It is easier to avoid non-legal food now? This is what I'm hoping for. Thanks!
Oh, and BTW, I've lost 6 pounds.
AND a hearty hello to you PG'rs! I know some of you are reading this thread.

Thanks GwnStfni, sorry a red flag goes up when negativity is sensed. And Kose, we all battle the same problems, weight. Wether we're over weight are trying to maintain. Your honesty is to be admired. Dr. Bragg said fasting is the best way to lost weight. In Chapter 14 titled Fasting Melts Away Pounds of his book The Miracle of Fasting. The length is up to the individual and I'm sure Karat was expressing concern. So, with that, I'm sure that no one minds us posting our journeys. I read posts for encouragement and it sure has been. I would have never went this long other wise. Don't give up, keep your head up!
